Tankfest 2016 was bigger than ever with many thousands attending each day it was a complete sell out. With "Fury", and Panzer III and Tiger II 131 out to play along with hundreds of reinactors no other place in the world brings you the sights and sounds of authenticity like The Tank Museum at Bovington. With the largest collection of tanks anywhere in the world in one place visitors from all over the world attend this 2 day event. My first set of shots hopefully give you a taste of why it's a highlight of the year on many peoples calendars.

Saunton Sands D-Day event - Devon, 4th June 2016.

It was a warm and sunny day for the D-Day event on Saunton Sand's wide beach - perfect for some vintage aircraft and living history displays. The show was attended by the Upottery reinactors who provided a beach assault in full gear with pyrotechnics - enjoyed by the hundreds of people who attended. The unusual event of 6 vintage aircraft landing on this D-Day training beach was a reminder of how it was used in 1943/44 in the run up to Operation Dynamo and Overlord.

New Years Day bath boat race - Poole Harbour 1/1/2016. The annual crazy egg and flour throwing, RNLI life savers laughing, sinking boat and bailing water wacky race came back to the harbour this morning. It was howling a gale with heavy seas and very cold - the brave souls to tackle those conditions made the most of the fun and commotion. A few had to be pulled out, but the lifeboat crews were more than happy to let them go back overboard to join their floating team mates!

As October heads towards the greyness of winter and the northern winds strangle the remnants of warmth the Arne peninsula in Dorset, England is a hive of activity. Spiders cast their spells in intricate webs, Roe deer are in rut and fight for dominance; squirrels stock up on the bounty of chestnuts and acorns and wild birds take advantage of feeding stations. Leaves flutter of the birch trees and fungi sprawls from the ground and dead trees. October 2015.

Gordon Shedden pipped Jason Plato to the 2015 Touring Car championship at Brands Hatch yesterday in a exciting day of racing. Plato won the final race of the day but Gordon Shedden carved his way through the field to get his needed 5th place with 2 laps to go winning the championship by 4 points. Lots of other races took place including Porshe Cup, Junior Giletta, Clio Cup UK and Formula Ford.

Warfare Through The Ages descended onto Bovington Camp today on a sunny mid September day - flintlocks, swords, rifles, cannons and bows and arrows were in action with over 1000 reenactors skirmishing from English medieval and English civil war to two American Civil War, Waterloo, The Monmouth Rebellion, WW1 and WW2 present... The uniforms and weapons were fully authentic replicas and the battle smells and sounds combined with the smoke gave an authentic experience to how the battles would have felt in history.

100th Anniversary dogfight over RFC Beaulieu ( East Boldre ) - after an anxious wait by hundreds of on-lookers, former Royal Flying Corps airfield Beaulieu, based at East Boldre, Hampshire, came back to life a century after the RFC brought it's training school there. Originally built as a private venture by V McCardle of Bournemouth and J Armstrong Drexel, an American citizen (pictured), it opened on 1st May 1910 and used two Bleriot monoplanes and set a new height record in June 1910 of 1070 feet. the RFC took over the airstrip in November 1915 to train pilots to fly over the Western front and to intercept rogue German fighter entering UK airspace. The air field soon grow with armament buildings, hangers, mess hall, theatre, accommodation blocks, all of which were soon demolished after the now renamed Royal Airforce left in 1919. Reverted fully to Heathland, except for one building and the chalked-in name of BEAULIEU still present in the heathland, most people drive by without knowing the important history to this now barren landscape. On Monday 25th May, 2015, one hundred years after the RFC started to train British pilots to help win WW1, 8 replica WW1 fighters once again ( and probably for the final time ) brought the heath to life. German and British contingents criss-crossed the sky above the airfield in a mock battle to entertain and enthral the crowds, the likes of which have never been seen at East Boldre. After 15 action-packed minutes the planes made a final salute fly past, then turned west and headed away into the distance, to leave East Boldre silent again for ever more.

Coastguard Helicopter flies in to Whitecliff Park, Poole on Sunday after to transfer an injured walker to a waiting ambulance. With it own Heli-pad area the park, just a mile from Poole General Hospital often has the coastguard visitor to rush patients to A&E from all over Dorset and Devon - Coast Guard marshals cordon off the landing area from dog walkers and families whilst the public look on anxiously.
