OPERATION TUTBURY CASTLE 1940s Event 2015

A medieval castle became the landscape of wartime England, with  a battle re-enactment, a flypast from a WWII plane and numerous 1940s exhibitions and displays.

1940s re-enactments included the work of the Womens Auxiliary Service (pictured)  and

Special Operations in Burma (below) and also Churchills Secret Army,

Within the walls of this 11th Century castle the re-enactors turned the clocks forward to the 1940s and we heard the sound of air raid sirens and swing music. Tutbury Castle in the 1940s# certainly drew the crowds! Another enjoyable event!
