Bank Holiday Special at former WW2 airfield...

Post by Shippo » Wed Apr 20, 2016 1:06 pm

Do come along to the WARTIME WEEKEND on the 1st & 2nd May 2016 at RAF METHERINGHAM, wartime home to 106 Squadron...


Many gave their lives who were part of 101st Airborne Division as seen in this video link on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMseGvYBxxQ

A large contingent of the North West 101st Airborne re enactment group will be camping out on Metheringham Airfield using the backdrop of Dakota KG 651 which is based there.

During the course of the two day event, members of the Mobile Military Museum, dressed in uniform as Gefechts Aufklarungs Zug which is a German battle reconnaissance unit, will be doing battle each day with the Allied Forces. They are part of the Allied/Axis Reenactment Group. Now this will be interesting who defeats whom at the WW2 Open Weekend?

Why not take a vintage coach tour of the WW2 buildings that remain on former RAF Metheringham with the courtesy of local farmers (access allowed) who are supporting the bank holiday special.

Why not come and watch Jet Provost XS186 fire up her Bristol Siddeley Viper engine and hear the roar of its engine run on both days - see what happened here at one of its engine runs in 2014 on...

Bring your camera to photograph the classic cars which will be parked there...

And the military vehicles that will be there.

So come and join us on Sunday 1st and Monday 2nd May 2016 for our largest annual fund raising event. Gates open 10.00am. All adults £5.00 : children under 16 FREE.

The Museum and Shop will be open. There are the usual entertainments, craft Stalls, 1940s exhibits, aircraft cockpits, and oil engines.

There will be a BBMF Lancaster flypast on both days, weather permitting.

Refreshments, tea, coffee, and cold drinks will be available each day, together with the famous Lincolnshire sausage in a roll cooked by Christine, Judy, and their assistants.
