An Airfield Open Day, Debach, Suffolk - 12th June 2005

The day after the Debach 40s-themed dance, the airfield holds an open-day. Many of the participants from the night before (including DH) are still roaming around in costume, and several more military vehicles arrive during the morning. Maurice Hammond, from Eye, does a flypast in his Mustang, and Nosher and DH get to poke around a Sherman tank for a bit. There's also the moment when Bill suddenly realises that The Boy Phil has rolled up his keys and mobile phone in the packed tent. We phone it to make sure and, yes, the tent "rings".
