The Reenactors Ramble

In episode 75 Richy and Lance discuss the attributes presented by our listeners, as to what makes a good reenactor.

We have the absolute pleasure of being joined by commercial airline and warbird pilot Sam Worthington-Leese to discuss his journey from RAF trainee to warbird pilot! A fascinating hour discussing the routes into warbird piloting, his relationship with Geoffrey Wellum, the future of airshows and the restoration project for Typhoon RB396.

In episode 73 we're joined by George Mills (@george_mills88) to discuss the contrasts between WW2 Reenacting and that of the flintlock era, everything from Jacobites through to the Napoleonic era. We discuss the inspiration, availability of kit, the differences in culture, and touch on the overall availability of kit in general over the last few months. 

Join us to explore a new world, and perhaps inspire your next impression!
