It says Sunday is 40s dress theme, and I have been told there is no problem with Axis uniforms.

Stop it! Must resist... :lol:

Actually, that is how I found out, being on the mailing list. Up until that point, I'd never heard of it, and neither had my mate, who knows most of the shows which go on.

Great event , yes RAU was there so was SOF , a much better place to hold the event than in Horndean , The battles went smoothly , well done to the pyro teams joe public loved it , just a shame that the wind was like it was but none the less a well turned out event , with many attractions to see , roll on next year :wink:

My friend and I went as MPs - me British, him US - some of you attending may have seen us wandering around. (I wasn't sure about the reaction to punters turning up as Jerries.)

Absolutely superb show terrific new site, superbly run just the right mix of good organisation and being laid back, this show will be back to its old Southsea common days very quickly.
Always keep the boot of destiny aimed at the arse of anticipation!
