RAF Snaith 1940s Weekend: Best pictures as wartime history is brought back to life

Wartime vehicles, military uniforms and 1940s fashion transported visitors back in time as RAF Snaith Museum hosted its annual 1940s Weekend.

A piece of Yorkshire's wartime history was brought vividly back to life as RAF Snaith Museum welcomed visitors for its annual 1940s Weekend.

The two-day event, held on Saturday (Sep 12) and Sunday (Sep 13), featured living history groups, period military vehicles, traders and entertainment.

Re-enactors dressed in military uniforms and civilian clothing helped recreate the sights of the era, while an array of historic vehicles and displays offered visitors another glimpse into life during the Second World War.

The weekend also featured period entertainment, with performers adding to the 1940s atmosphere.

RAF Snaith Museum itself is housed in surviving buildings from the former RAF base, which was home to Halifax and Wellington bombers before closing in 1946.
