I've always wanted to get this close to a Spitfire!
There was a great variety of groups on Cae Mawr over the weekend. As well as the Spitfire, there was a rather wonderful traction engine:
The local fire brigade were there, and the Cadets, and there were some modern Army vehicles at the top of the field.
ENSA were there - with a chap singing George Formby songs (the coffee van man said he'd memorised them all by the end of the weekend!)
There were American GIs and a group of Wehrmacht, and a tent demonstrating what the Observer Corps did.
There was a group of First World War soldiers there, and someone displaying his grandad's tools.
There was a big contingent of Land Army girls (some of them turned up for the concert on Friday afternoon). I loved the local touch on their hay wain:
Everybody got drenched on Saturday morning, but the weather was better for the rest of the weekend. There was even some sun by Sunday afternoon!
