What an event “Heroes at Highclere” was last weekend, and Battlefield South was right in the thick of it. Just some of the attractions were the Red Devils Parachute display team showed off their skills both in freefall and under canopy. Then some amazing air displays from a group of WWI Bi and Tri planes, with some very professional synchronised and formation flying. They then went on to provide a spectacular air combat and dog fighting display.
Later in the day we were entertained by a Spitfire and Mustang, looping and turning around the castle and its grounds, as only they can. The spitfire with it Rolls Royce Merlin engine creating an unforgettable roar, and with the grace and pose of the air frame, twisting and turning, along with the Mustang and its sharp lines and brute force looks, creating an aerial ballet. Then to close the air show the “Sally B”, B17 flying fortress gracefully swooped and 
turned with the bomb bay doors open. That was just in the air! On the ground there were Calvary displays, a charity Football match, Fun Fair, arts and crafts, re-enactments of everything WWI and WWII. From troops and weapons, to digging for Victory and Land girls. They was even an ARP Vehicle and rescue set up.
On the stage were various singing artists with the Spitfire Girls performing some memorable tunes from the 40’s, and the show was closed by Alexandra Burke with some of her latest hits. In between acts there was entertainment in the other tents and bars with dancers dressed in period costumes. It truly was a great day out and well worth the entrance fee. Did I mention Battlefield South was there?
However if you missed that, fear not because at the end of August, it is back. Allegedly for the last time, it’s the big one (for Gosport), it is the finale. As always entrance is free, with live music, arts and crafts stalls, fair ground rides, and Battlefield South, Forton Fest 2014 is coming. So book the date in your 
diary, and make sure you don’t miss out.
