The Monarch Coin Laundry on Mill Road
A 1940s Airfield Hangar Dance, Debach, Suffolk - 9th June 2007
Every once in a while it's fun to dress up, and there's not much of a better excuse than the hangar dance down at Debach Airfield. So, thanks to some last-minute tickets courtesy of the organisers, Nosher, Isobel, Marc and Sue trundle over to have a bit of a dance and camp for the night. Once again, there's a good turnout of costumes, including RAF, USAAF, GIs, navy types, the odd Italian soldier, spivs and lots of 40's dresses. Nosher and Isobel are off to Helsinki the following day, so there's no time to stick around for the airfield open day.

Marc looks around as Suey unloads the car
There's a nice P-47 Thunderbolt model next door
A jeep trundles around past the control tower
Some kind of army jeep
Isobel by the car
Isobel checks her hair and lipstick

Isobel looks up Nosher's nose
Marc takes a photo
Marc and Suey
The bizarre sight of lots of naked male mannequins
Mingling around outside the hangar
Richard holds the ladder as the projector is fixed
Marc looks on, with beer in hand
A US Navy sailor gets animated
People on a Willys Jeep
An evacuee girl with an RAF cap on
Isobel and Sue bring some beer back
The Military Police arrive
Marc, Suey and Isobel chat
Captain Melchett ties up his shoelace
Gas mask boxes
A couple of tiny 'evacuees' dance around
A spiv surveys the scene
The MP looks over
A German officer and US airman
Some wine is poured
Marc and Suey
A fake 'stocking line' is re-applied in an emergency
In the hangar
Marc sits around
Outside looks like a painting on the wall
The dancing kicks off
The US Army corner
The sun sets behind the hangar
More 1940s fancy dress
Outside in the dusk
Isobel
Some Lindy Hopping, maybe
The warm-up band
It's V.E. Day at Debach Airfield
1940s dancing
Some swing dancing
The band do their thing
Spats all round
More swinging
Giving a twirl
Marc and Suey do a bit of dancing
Part of the band 'The Jive Aces'
Marc and Suey take a break
Some sort of line dancing occurs outside
Marc and Suey the next morning
Isobel cheekily peers out from the tent
Nosher sits on the grass
