Bristol Blenheim 1, recently restored to airworthy status, making a low flypast. A wide selection of World War II military aircraft and vehicles were on display at The Victory Show, held at Foxlands Farm, Cosby, Leicestershire, UK, over the weekend of 5th/6th September 2015. The flying display included flypasts and aerobatics by a Spitfire and Seafire, Hawker Hurricane, Bristol Blenheim, a pair of P-51D Mustangs, B-17G Flying Fortress, and Gloster Meteor T7 against an almost perfecet blue sky. Although due to appear, Vulcan XH-558 cancelled due to undercarriage problems. On the ground, a wide selection of military vehicles included Sherman and Panzer III tanks, half-tracks, armoured cars, and jeeps, with firepower demonstrations and battle re-enactments.
