 and #HomeFront #re-enactors  to set the scene and make this an enjoyable day!

 

 

 

#STONELEIGH MILITARIA SHOW 2017 AND THE 1940S RE-ENACTORS

Stoneleigh Militaria Show always draws the crowds, not surprising really as this popular Warwickshire venue provides collectables and uniforms, medals, manuals, even military vehicles and much, much more. 

There were lots of #1940s collectors, enthusiasts and  #re-enactors, many wearing

#homefront or military uniform, and also stalls selling #vintage clothing, hats and shoes.

 Very interesting and popular event!   

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! ... FROM THE 1940s PICTURE POST

It's a journey back in time to wartime Britain and what makes it really interesting is that it's all staged within the picturesque setting of a Victorian village!

There's was so  much to see with Homefront displays and 1940s costumed re-enactors everywhere,

 This was a really great two day event! Very enjoyable!
