Military & Flying Machines Show
This year the Military and Flying Machines Show promises to be better than ever! It is the fastest growing military vehicle show in the UK!.
Last year's show was an outstanding success with over 17,000 visitors and being recognised and awarded, by a top specialist magazine, as one of the Top 10 Military Events of 2010.
This fantastic show really is an essential day in the family calendar at a truly excellent value for money entry price. This year Military and Flying Machines will again give you the opportunity to see amazing flying displays, over 300 military vehicles, from the small but mighty jeeps to the massive tanks, armoured tank transporters and heavy artillery displays! There will also be a chance to see over 60 historical re-enactment displays depicting life in the military (of many nations) from medieval times right up to the modern day with accurate uniforms and authentic equipment giving a realistic insight into the life of the soldier. We will also have live 'wartime' entertainment in our 700 person marquee all day and arena activities including firepower demonstrations with a wartime field gun! And mock battles throughout the weekend, marching band, flight simulator, and a massive militaria fair and family stalls, Helicopter experiences and activities for the kids including mini Jeep and Mini Land Rover rides, and drill with "Major Headache" and so much more there will be lots to do for all the family!
