No they're not my photographs, they belong to a friend, Carol Cooper, we actually went to the same school many years ago. I gave her an Olympus autofocus camera, can't remember which model, I got it from a charity shop for £2, anyway she went over to the 1940s weekend in Haworth, home of the Bronte sisters, and the Keighley and Worth valley preserved railway.

There are three of these weekends across the north of England, Haworth, Pickering, north Yorkshire, and Bury, the best one is at Pickering, so here's a couple of her photos from that event.

Two ladies sitting on a doorstep chatting, and an army camp in Haworth. There are tens of thousands of folk all dressed in 1940s clothes and uniforms, British, Polish, German, Italian, American, even one or two Japanese, and all this stuff is authentic

That's cool, Summicron! Though the first, second, and fourth pictures doesn't feel right with the modern day SUV in the background.

What a job that was, getting rid of the two extraneous attachments that somehow planted themselves in the message box, it was getting close to the boot going through the monitor time. Your right about that, it does kinda look out of place, spoils the magic a little. Kinda like the contrails in the John Wayne westerns, ever seen that? Still she's no expert, and maybe I'd miss it too, but you get the idea of just how much authenticity and detail these people put into the events, also you've got costumed participant mingling with tourists.
   Hopefully you will see a picture of a German officer, calling up the commandant on his mobile phone.

My wife releasing ballons for her Father who is now with the Lord, it was a the first Fathers day without him.....
      He was a mighty man of God we miss him dearly......

Amazing pictures......All of them
