The Victory show brings together period re-enactors, a huge gathering of WW2 vehicles and an air display. The location gives the chance to get close up to the warbirds on the ground, this years show was no exception but sadly it's been announced that 2020 will be the last show :(

stuart n, fantastic photography, thank you sir! :drink3:

Michel Lemieux, I'm pretty sure it's a case of photographic foreshortening, that the man is actually well below the stab (I do lots of photography).

fore·short·en
/fôrˈSHôrtn,fərˈSHôrtn/

1. portray or show (an object or view) as closer than it is or as having less depth or distance, as an effect of perspective or the angle of vision.

Thank you Kurt!

Seen photo compression a few times....but most of the time I could tell the difference by the size of the objects....

Which is hard to tell on that picture! Cheers

So, after 15 years, the rumours have finally proved to be true and the 2020 Victory Show will be the last one. As a vehicle owner, re-enactor and Warbird Enthusiast, this unique mix of based Warbirds, re-enactors and military vehicles all on the one farmland site and airstrip will be hard to follow or beat
