Clay

Absolutely fantastic event, superb location and very interactive and friendly enthusiasts. The layout is perfect, contained within the site, it makes for a really authentic atmosphere. Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly and engaging, encouraging us to hold kit and ask questions, which really had the kids excited. Good food and snacks and lots to browse. The flyover from the Spitfire was almost as good as the battle re-enactment. Parking was free and plentiful. A perfect day out.

Can not thank you enough my sister and I took a 92 year old gentleman who had the best time today and to have the Lancaster fly so close over the top of us was the icing on the cake
