The 3rd Battle of Britain living history show Taunton

[Graham Adlam]

Hello All

I organise the Battle of Britain living history show at Norton Fitzwarren in Taunton. The show will be held on the 31st August and 1st of September 2013. This is our third year and we are expanding the show to include classic and custom cars. Exibitors will have free entry to the show which includes free camping if required. There is entertainment on Saturday night for all exibitors with a cheap bar. If you are interested in attending the show you can find details on my website www.spitfirespares.com or email me gadlam@btinternet.com. There will be two Spitfires on sight along with a Hurricane and a WWI Vickers gun bus Bi Plane along with lots of other attractions, displays and trade stands. We pride ourselves in looking after all our exibitors and hope some of you can attend

Edit. Added to Calendar.

This looks like it might be a nice one to go attend. We could do a convoy from bristol meeting up with the guys down south then on to the show. We may be double booked for the sunday though as I think Haynes motor museum have something on on the sunday.

It will be a 2 hour drive from Bristol but could be a nice run if the weather is good?

What do you guys think? click on the first link then click on where it says "Link to the 2013 Battle of Britain Living History show" where it has all the details.

Sounds interesting

['The Gaffer']

This could be interesting, only and especially because exhibitors get free entrance but......

We don't normaly take to kindly to paid exhibition companies using our site for advertising profit making events without prior agreement - Graham, take note but the thread will run.

[Graham Adlam]

My apologies for not asking about posting this it was meant as an invite rather than advertising but I take your point and will contact you next time first.  Thank you for the response there will be application forms available on the website shortly for anyone who wants to attend if you need these by post you can email me gadlam@btinternet.com Passes are sent out in advance of the show so only cars which are booked in,  will get entry to the show site. Thank you all again and I hope to see some of you at the show.

Does sound interesting, Spitfire  . As Colin said tho a 2 hour run will very much depend upon the weather on the day for us hoodless people

we will do a list on the bases the weather is going to be great! 
And we will do a convoy down there if people are up for it? Once we have enough takers?

You are very organised it will probably be easier for you if you do a group booking. I would need a single point of contact and I can send all the passes to one person . I will get a link to the forms asap we are working on this years updates now.

Don't worry there will be a few German Re enactors to protect you just stay away from the arena when the Spitfire is carrying out its weapons display.
