Lytham

Last Sunday Jo and myself went to Lytham (next to lytham St Annes) on the west coast near Blackpool.  They were holding a 1940's event on Lytham Green which was to include a live re-enactment.  The event was a slow starter but by mid afternoon was in full swing and we had a throroughly good day out.  Yet again yours truly was asked to pose for numerous photo's ;)

The day was mostly cloudy but stayed free from rain until the half hour of the re-enactment!

Here's a few pics of the Bosch getting a beating..

The Airborne are here...firing Mortar onto the German positions
