Description

Us Brits are a sentimental lot and love nothing less than re-visiting the past. Once a year at Pickering in North Yorkshire the North Yorkshire Steam Railway hold an event to commemorate the Second World War where veterans and enthusiasts get dressed up and re-enact that time in our past. Most of the action takes place around Pickering Railway Station where you can take a ride on a steam train, which is great fun. Most of the participants tend to congregate on one side of the track whilst the spectators stay on the other side and watch all the colourful characters and action which takes place. These five ladies are all wearing their Womens Royal Air Force uniforms and were obviously have a great time talking over old times! I will be taking you back in time in my next few postings and hope you enjoy re-living the past with me! (By the way, I am not old enough to have been there at the time!) Eileen xxx

Love this shot of vanishing breed of World War 2 vets. The wisdom of their years shows, yet you can still see their youthful past in their expressions.

Well, this may come as a surprise to everyone, but I am old enough to remember WWII, in fact I'm a World War II veteran, just like the smiling ladies posing in your photo, except I was in the US Army Signal Corps and then was later transferred to the Antiaircraft Artillery. In any event, I like their plaid skirts or kilts.
