Bottisham Airfield Museum is set to transport back to wartime in a 1940s weekend and organisers have promised history fanatics that it will be “bigger, better and unforgettable”. The event, ‘Bottisham at War’, on Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28, will offer a packed schedule of aerial displays, re-enactment battles, vintage vehicles and live entertainment.
Bottisham Airfield Museum is one of Cambridgeshire’s most well-known and important airfield bases. During World War Two, the base was used by The Royal Air Force and American Air Force and housed a variety of aircraft including Lysanders, Tomahawks, Tiger Moths, Austers and Allison-engineered Mustangs.
Visitors can expect to enjoy 1940s music performances throughout and a market selling vintage clothing and military memorabilia. The event will also see a ‘showstopper battle re-enactment’ where 1940s enthusiasts can expect “dramatic special effects, intense explosions, and the roar of gunfire ” as they witness an immersive World War Two battle.
Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the history by speaking with reenactors and looking at a collection showcasing classic war vehicles including tanks and jeeps.
This year’s show is expected to be “bigger and more exciting than ever before”. It will run from 10am until 4pm on both days.
The museum’s Flying Tractor Cafe will also be open throughout the weekend and there is free on-site parking available. Admission for the event includes access to the museum and The Flying Tractor Café, where you can soak in the atmosphere and get some food.
