NZAC? I think this may have even been from WW1, could well be wrong.

Interesting, where was it? On a long rideout today and I ended up at what I think was Sleap Airfield near Wem and there were biplanes taking off, might be related.

The Germans seem to be the only ones organised to bring along wine and beer.

Nope, just an old alley per haps.

Some of the set ups had demolished buildings constructed next to them to look like the end scene from Saving Private Ryan, some real time and effort was used.

Not to this, but maybe the 70 years?

There was a poster next to one of the set ups asking for new members. I knew that the yanks love the civil war reinactments but never assumed that us Brits would be doing it too? Some real attention to detail, how they decide who gets hot and lays there all day I have no idea?

The changing light meant for some rather dark pictures but some came out better than I thought. Really impressed with the new Tamron 70-300mm lens, that is until you need to snap a close up.

For a WW2 re-enactment, there's lots of non-WW2 stuff - especially the yanks.

Nice Corsair - they were always one of my fave airfix kits to build, they were still in service during the Korean war too.

Lots of german/soviet/american/british gear, plus loads of post war stuff.


More t34,s and jeeps than you wave a stick at.


Best were of course the Waffen SS with there working Panzer 3 and 4 plus the panzer 5 "Panther". unfortunly this year the panzer 6 "tiger" and tank destoyer "jagpanther" were,nt there, mostly likey amushed by the russians. Wink

Cool Pics Thumbs Up


Do you think in 50-60 years time there will be people having a War on Terror reinactments and displays in fields.
UAV's buzzing overhead, people dressed as suicide bombers, a paper mache display of the twin towers, Snatch Landrover, IED's hiddden at the burger van Laughing

In 50 or 60 years Western civilisation will have fallen and those of us still left alive will be too busy raping each other for hidden canned goods to worry about historical re-enactments!
