In the woods a re-enactment group held a skirmish set in Holland during 1944, it's amazing how close to the action you could get.

Amazing attention to detail in the camps & forward command posts + guns & pyrotechnics going off all over the shop, very loud but exciting to watch.

Cheers Sqauddie,
It is indeed a brilliant day out..well, there's so much to see & do you could spend the whole week & still not see every thing on show & that's not including the 100's of dealers stalls selling any item you can think of from razor blades, deactivated weapons right the way up to complete working tanks.
Here's some more of the skermish for ya..
