RAFM 90th Anniversary Event 5th/6th April 2008


Recommended Posts

Here's my photos of the WWI aircraft and displays from the 90th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force event. Had a fair amount of public, I was out of the way a bit behind the Lancaster, with the SE5A fighter. I was the only person doing WWI on the saturday, however today I was joined by a member of staff doing an excellent Royal Flying Corps impression, so I changed from being a private of the Leicestershire Regiment to doing RFC ground crew (just short sleeve order and took my cap badge off). Had a lot of interesting discussions with people and had a good time, although my feet are covered in blisters tonight!
