Some pictures from the 25th Anniversary of the Wimborne Militia. Three excellent talks and brilliant living history demonstrations. Great to meet up with so many old friends from @ChalkeFestival Shame the weather beat the second days events!

Great to meet up again Phil.

Tuesday Tank: Shermans at last weekend's We Have Ways Fest - one parked in the food area, and two running riot in the arena. Also great to chat to @TankieMike and other folks around the showground. #WW2 @milmodelscene @USAS_WW1 @jr_liscano #WHWF #WHWF24 #TankTuesday

This was the most disturbing shirt I’ve ever seen! Please give people a health warning if you ever wear it in public again.

Aftermath of @WeHaveWaysPod Fest #4 - the Hawaiian. Thank you so much, @JassNL . Even my wonderful sister approves!

Thank you to all the behind the scenes staff who made #WHWF24 such fun for the rest of us - the volunteers, the toilet cleaners (extra big hugs), security, fire, medical, logistics etc etc

Excellent day at #WeHaveWaysFest yesterday, including the newly-restored FV4005 in the arena. Here Joe Hewes takes it over the hump. #WHWF24 @WeHaveWaysPod

Highlight of the D-Day morning at #CHF2024 was the @James1940 interview with veteran Henry Rice, 98 years of age and bright as a button. Here is his well deserved standing ovation from a packed main tent @ChalkeFestival


There was something very Pythonesque about seeing the Michael Palin broadcast with a flying Ichthyosaur above the great man! It was animated by the wind at #Chalke2024 Thanks @ChalkeFestival @MichaelPalin10
