The Red Arrows come to town

22 July 2010

Every year the War & Peace Show takes place at the nearby Beltring Hop Farm. Military vehicle enthusiasts come from all the over the country to display their vehicles, attend exhibitions and see famous guests such as Dame Vera Lynn and former cast members from Dad’s Army. Even if you don’t visit the show (and of course, being local, I never have) you still get a taste of the military and wartime vehicles as suddenly all kinds of jeeps and trucks are mingled in among the ordinary traffic as they go from camp site to supermarket to stock up on food for the week.

This year the Red Arrows made their debut at the event and performed a full 20 minute display. We were able to watch them zooming around from our garden and then one aeroplane came right over our house at the end.

Did one of the Red Arrows wobble his wings when you waved at him? No? Oh, shame.
