A brief photo-report of the 'We'll Meet Again' VE Day 80th Anniversary 2025 at the Yorkshire Air Museum (YAM), which included a Halifax, Dakota and Argus night shoot. I must mention the re-enactors that were roaming around the site adding a wonderful World War Two atmosphere. Principally, the 'Tail End Charlies' group of re-enactors which added so much to the Halifax shoot and described as a Living History society covering the history of the RAF.
