Used to attend this event every year with a re-enactment group (until a good friend of mine accidently drowned at the event).
That photo has been ..... ahem....modified somewhat, so don't be decieved...!!!
It's a good armour/vehicle show with car crushing by tanks etc., and some good static displays, and yes there is usually about 3000 military vehicles there.....about half of which are Jeeps and Land Rovers....;-)
The re-enactments are not anything to write home about, there are better shows in the UK for re-enactments than Beltring.
I think the warbird flyover was something like a T-6 and/or a Spitfire and not anything like as depicted in that false image above.
The one and only thing the Beltring show is good for is the trade/militaria stalls.......fab place for buying 'stuff'...;-)
