To the strains of Glenn Miller and Vera Lynn a large crowd enjoyed the sunshine at the Flying Forties weekend at Sandown Airport.
The well received event, presented jointly by WAM (Wight Aviation Museum) and Vectis 40s Vintage, included vintage and military vehicles, 1940s displays, with costumed ‘re-enactors’ and of course live music with soloists and groups singing the nostalgic tunes of the wartime forties.
Helen Blake, chair person of WAM enthused,
“It was a great co-operation between WAM and Vectis 40s Vintage. A lot of hard work from the WAM Team and all the forties vintage participants resulted in a fabulous weekend out in the sun for nearly a thousand visitors over the weekend.”
Keep an eye on the WAM Website and the Sandown Airport Website for information about other events throughout the summer.
