In this Old Classic Car video it's back to the 1940s as we head down to the former RAF Sleap airfield in Shropshire to check out their '40s weekend.
It'd a two-day event themed mainly around WW2 re-enactments, vehicle displays and aerial activities, many people taking part sporting period clothes - civilian and military - with music from the 1940s playing here and there across the display field.
There were a number of cars and lorries dating to the 1930s, 1940s and a little later to be found, including a couple of interesting classic car sightings in the public car park before we even got inside the event itself.
It was neat to see the late-1930s Austin 10 Cambridge in RAF livery as I briefly owned this car a long time ago, long before it was restored. I dragged it out of a garden where it had sat for a while, then it was in its original black paint and needed quite a lot of TLC to get it running again. It's nice to know it ended up being restored and being used for shows like this one at Sleap.
We don't often get to 1940s/WW2-themed events like this so it made for an interesting change compared to the shows and gatherings we typically pop over to.
