The tanks roared into the Yorkshire Air Museum and the Jeeps came loaded with troops of all nationalities also not to mention the Home Guard and Captain Mainwaring and what's his name, 'Don't tell him Pike!'. Actually there were at least two Private Pikes that I saw.
It was the annual Battlegroup North re-enactment event this weekend the 8th & 9th. Time Was... were billeted in the Canadian Memorial Hanger again, and yet again it was a cold and windy weekend. This meant that the Hanger was also very cold so it was blankets at the ready. Even the 'troops' or the wargamers or even the visitors at the Museum must have been cold as they couldn't warm their hands by getting a bit more money out. Even though it had the same atmosphere as last year it just didn't quite match it.
The highlight of the weekend was selling the Fairies from our fantasy range, who'd have thought it, Fairies!! When all around were jackbooted soldiers.
Even the flypast by the Hurricane, though impressive was very short and that only took us outside into the 'warmth' for a few minutes, that's how cold the hanger was.
It was a couple of long tiring days for little to show, even missed Doctor Who on Saturday as not back before 7pm, still with wibbly wobbly timey wimey we were able to watch the recording.
