    I've always loved a good 1940s weekend and was gutted when Woodhall Spa cancelled theirs.

    I've just learnt that Hanworth Country Park is looking at hosting one next year - 25th & 26th July.

    From their Fb page.......

    "We're so excited to announce that Hanworth Country Park will be hosting an incredible 1940s weekend next year!

    Just had a quick look where it is, only about 10 mins from bomber command in Canwick.

    Hi Rootes75

    Not sure if you've seen this post and, if you have, would be interested in attending (vintage military vehicles).

    I have no connection to the Park but I miss the Woodhall Spa 40s weekend, and would love this new venture to be a success.

    If you could please forward to any other military vehicle enthusiasts, it would be most appreciated.

    Kind regards.
    John.
