Victory Show, Cosby 2016 - Show Report

[@renlin8925]

Absolutely gutted to hear they’re packing up after this year (that’s if it goes ahead.) But the Great Central Railway in quorn put up a good show every year around June though. It’s called “Wartime Weekend” another one of my favourite weekends of the year.

Your a legend for staying that year, I was there at an RAF display and it was a rough weekend, much better 2019 I was boiling wearing surge haha.

[@harryb8945]

I went on the Saturday, and coming from sunny hartfordshire all I had on was some trousers and a T shirt. Didn't I regret that quickly. However I must admit I thought the rain made those displays a lot bit more realistic, I did like your Burma one shame I didn't know it was you.

[@RiflemanMoore]

+Harry B Quite so, likewise unprepared, at least with historical clothing, I've yet to purchase a monsoon cape! Glad you liked the display, next time you'll know.

[@josephkony5473]

Are you part of a reenactment group.

[@josephkony5473]

?*

[@mortegi]

No....they are still on active service lost in thye woods....they still think the war is still on.....lol

[@kyrans9768]

Jeeze, I wish we had events like that in Australia. :( Top Video!

[@RiflemanMoore]

+Kyran S (Sticks) Cheers mate, good fun indeed, a pity the chaps reenacting Second War Aussies weren't there, they've put on a good display in the past.

[@NathanaelTheAussie]

Good news! We technically do have one, 'Kokoda42'. Run by Queensland Living History Federation groups '2/25th AIF Battalion' and 'Gi Inc.'. From first hand experience I can say it is a great weekend! It looks to be growing as well.

[@WWIIUK]

always think when reenacting/ displaying the Southeast Asian Theatre mud should be obligatory lol
