Victory Show
Foxlands Farm, Cosby

| Foxlands Farm with its long grass airstrip was an interesting venue for this modest air show. World War Two reenactors were featured to a greater extent than the aircraft with their many impressive sets. My involvement once again was to arrive after the day's activities had ended and attend a night-shoot organised by Threshold. |
