Halfpenny Green At War

Over the weekend of the 21st and 22nd May 2011 Northern Forties Re-enactment Group staged the first of what will hopefully become an annual event at Halfpenny Green. With over 200 re-enactors and numerous military vehicles on show, a flavour the 1940's returned to this wartime airfield.

In the end I spent so much time simply looking at the exhibits, talking to the re-enactors and enjoying the weekend with friends, (even taking part in the evening hangar dance) that the weekend was over and the camera hardly came out of its case.

Below are a very few examples from this excellent event...
