The Victory Show returned to Foxlands Farm in Cosby for the annual wartime event that brings history to life.
We start with a runway battle (new for 2026) before heading onto the showground where various vehicles are on display.
Back on the runway, the beautiful chrome Happenstance shines in the Leicestershire sun, meanwhile an American tank display is captured in canvas by artist TJ Durham in his unique style.
The instantly recognisable Spitfire is seen on another display before we switch to the soldiers and large tanks leaving the battlefield having variously won and lost the demonstration (dependent on the side they were playing!).
In the woods, a lady fishes for her dinner in a small stream before two soldiers stationed in a trench track a plane flying by.
We end with a song from the Market Harborough Ukulele Band as the credits roll.
Look out for a companion film taking a closer look at the aircraft of the event coming soon on this channel.

I went along to Hinckley town centre for the ‪Hinckley BID‬ August Classic Vintage Vehicle meet, which sees cars (pre-2000 models) on display by their owners around the town centre.
We see the cars arriving and find their places with everything from more modern sports cars to a green classic Austin Martin polished to perfection in the evening sun.
There’s also a Mini with a Union Flag roof and a Mustang with a selection of stickers on its back window.
Down at the bottom of the hill, we find a vintage French limousine with a fun Pirate Duck as a hood ornament. Hinckley BID Visit Leicester Documentary Media Centre
