Good morning all.

 

Just had this in from Wayne. I will liaise with Wayne as to their requirements but he has said - that the vehicles have to be 1939-45 dated, and that drivers, co drivers are in period clothing. Please let me know what you would like to bring and i will make sure we leave some room.

 

 

 

20th & 21st May 2006 WW2 Living History Display.

Fort Henry, over looking Studland Bay from the sycamores of Redend Point. It is owned by the National Trust and extends along the seaward side of the grounds of the Manor House Hotel. One of Britain's most important relics of World War Two, it is 90-feet long, with concrete walls almost three feet thick, and a recessed observation slit 80 feet in length. Behind this, on the exceedingly noisy 18th April 1944, were the field-glasses of King George VI, General Sir Bernard Montgomery, and General Dwight D. Eisenhower; the future President as Supreme Commander Allied Forces Western Europe.

This weekend the World War Two Living History Association bring the whole area back to life in the 1940's, with displays covering American, British and Germans life during this conflict.

Admission is Free, but donations to the Royal British legion will be collected.
