Lytham 1940’s Weekend
We popped up to Lytham for the 1940’s Weekend, saw and met some amazing people, really great weekend once the weather picked up. Some fantastic performers too.
A Huge thank you and Well Done to Tim Dixon and the Team at Fylde Council for putting on such a stunning event. These events are exhausting for everyone putting them on, from bar staff, cleaning, First Aid crews, Audio people and everyone involved you should be really proud that it all went without a hitch.

Down at the Mussel Tank there was dancing with lots of people in period clothing, really great fun to watch, maybe one day I’d be able to dance like this?????

Sadly we either missed the flyby on Saturday or it was cancelled. Sunday’s fly by was spectacular as you can imagine, the Merlin engine note is so evocative with multiple passes, a Victory Roll too, but didn’t have a particularly long lens -just the 70-200 so sadly not the best shots
