Title: Military Odyssey
Post by: dazza on 23 August 2014, 08:19:12 pm
Anyone planning on going to the Military Odyssey at Kent County show ground Detling this weekend ?
My daughter, sisters and mother are all taking part in the south east home front re-enactment simulating a rescue from a bombed out house which I must say after watching it today was quite thought provoking and a little bit emotional.
They have managed to make it look so real and have put so much effort into re-creating a mock up of an underground tube station during the blitz.
Had the awesome sight of the two Lancaster bombers and spitfires fly directly over and there is a full scale battle on the lower field with tanks  and other military vehicle with a spitfire doing strafing runs overhead.
Well worth a visit and not just 2nd world war scenario's
 
There is also a Viking village, complete with long boat. Crusade battles and them pesky yanks playing out the American civil war.
Even got a live .22 rifle range you can have a go on.
Anyone up for it. ?
