For it`s 20th show the Victory Show returned to Foxlands Farm in Cosby Leicestershire featuring hundreds of reenactment displays from various theatres of conflict the even takes place over a 100 acre site and gives visitors a chance to fully immerse themselves in the 1940's era.
The event has expanded over the years to include a full airshow programme alongside the static displays and has seen displays from the Red Arrows and even the Vulcan over the years.
New for 2025 was an area made to simulate conflicts in colder areas of the world, which gave a unique contrast to the otherwise mild August weather on the Sunday that I visited.
My film starts in this snow covered environment before a marching band passes the spectacular handmade cut outs of @standingwithgiants3599 who had two moving displays at the event (see separate film coming soon).
Next we're asked "Have you seen Dave ?" who it appears is a carrier pigeon sat on a lamppost above the sign !.
Communications are vital in any wartime setting and we see workmen installing a phone system vital to keep information coming in from the front.
We cut to the Battlefield next where soldiers have just secured a victory and the various vehicles are seen returning to camp.
To the mess tent next where sandwiches are being prepped and slices of watermelon too.
Into the woods for a look at Nine Days In Arnhem before we join the Hinkley Home Guard who are enjoying a fine spread with union flags flying high.
