Tanks do battle at Baston in the Blitz
The popular two day event last weekend saw plenty of Second World War re-enactments, while entertainment included a Scottish military pipe and drum band and a Punch and Judy show.
Event organiser Alan Hutchings said: “It was extremely successful and we had a really good crowd. The only pity was it was extremely warm which made it a little uncomfortable for people.

“Attractions which were very popular with the crowd were the Merlin engine fitted to a Spitfire that was fired up and demonstrated through the day, and we had a Spitfire that was parked on the field. People had photographs taken standing in the cockpit.
“And we pride ourselves in having the best 1940s entertainment.”
Aside form the popular re-enactments there were also more than 60 trade stalls and even more display groups.
