Class 3 's trip to Duxford

The weather was good, we set off early with great anticipation, all looking forward to our day at Duxford. Most of us dressed up in our World War 2 evacuee costumes so we really looked the part.Mr Morley and Mrs Lamb came along as extra adult helpers-this meant we could go round in small groups looking at different things of interest to each group.

                                                   One  group tried "milking cows."

My group -they chose the right side of the plane to pose !

 

 

How the war was won- a living explanation...

with a little help from some volunteers,,,

 

planes and boats in place...

 

and that's how it all ended.

 

Inside one of the buildings-so much to see...

 

lots to learn from the information boards...

 

lots to learn from different people ...

 

 

Time for  a  group photo...

and another one!

 

very serious faces...

all smiles !

Trying the mowers

in the Dig For Victory  garden area

 

lunch time

 

 

a chat with Winston Churchill...

 

 

Plenty more to see and do...

 

a talk from a WW2 soldier about his kit

 

The soldier met his match-who knew more? 

testing the various guns...

 

A really good day!
