Built in 1917 and operational during #WWII, as an RAF base for coastal command, Hooton Park, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, staged it's second 1940s weekend. One of the aircraft hangars was the venue for lots of 1940s entertainment, which included the Victory Girls.
There were lots of WWII and Home Front re-enactors and #vintage shopping opportunities with militaria and clothing stalls.(Pictured below #Navy Online Re-enactors.)
With Wartime re-enactments, military and civilian vehicles, and equipment and uniforms on display,
and also plenty of tables and chairs for everyone to enjoy the music and a cup of tea, this was a relaxed and enjoyable event!
