Saving
Private Ryan reenactors, a Panzer IV, German Half-track
and a Schwimmwagen all entertained the crowds on Friday.
Steve Shirley's team from the Manston
Fire Museum entertained the crowds later by exploding
a car and setting it alight, in order to demonstrate how
their fire crew deal with aircraft fires. They also kindly
provide us with on site
emergency fire crew support throughout the show.

The
arena events were spectacular on the Friday; plenty of enthusiasts
turned out to re-enact "Saving Private Ryan"
|
|
|
|
|
|
All
the arena re-enactments were choreographed by Jim Dowdall,
who has been the stunt coordinator for various well known
films, from the "Indiana Jones" movies to "Saving
Private Ryan" and "Captain Corelli's Mandolin".
Jim really knows his stuff; he should do, having been the
person who was actually driving the tank in that amazing scene
in the "Goldeneye" James Bond movie...! For more
re-enactment photos, see Sunday's pictures...

Friday
was a good day for strolling around the 300 acre site, trying
to take in some of the 3267 military vehicles that had come
from all over the world to take part...
