The joint day with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) as part of the Imperial War Museum's travelling exhibition "Their Past, Your Future" was a huge success with crowds of visitors and a full car park. The Visitor Centre was open, with all its usual exhibits, but there was a large collection of additional things to see. Some of them are shown below -
 

The Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society provided an old "Bristol" bus which ran regular trips carrying visitors between Thorpe Camp and BBMF Visitor Centre.

Some of the old military vehicles which were on display.

The Vintage Military Amateur Radio Society displayed a selection of old sets including the famous "19 Set" used in tanks.

Another old set, this time powered by "elbow power".

Varied collections of memorabelia were on display.

This "young recruit" demonstrates a machine gun used by USA paratroopers.

A large audience watched a demonstration of war-time cookery using "ration book recipes" given by Evelyn Hodson.
