Yorkshire Wartime 2025


This was a military show held on a farm near Doncaster last weekend.  As well as many military vehicles, there were also re-enactment groups.  The static displays were joined periodically by drive-pasts and skirmishes.  Oh, and trade stands selling everything from hot dogs to WW2 uniforms.
Above; Austin Champ - ultimately this lost out to the simpler, lighter and cheaper LandRover.
