Military In Scale 11/2011

The term circus, as used to describe spectacular entertainment, can be dated back to the Roman Empire when such events were established where the public could go to watch recreated battle scenarios and other action-packed displays. Moving on more than 2000 years the annual War & Peace Show which this year was held over the five-day period of Wednesday 20th to Sunday 24th July at the Hop Farm in Paddock Wood in Kent has replaced the ancient Roman circus, but it still retains all the excitement to hold the attention of the crowds. The W&P Show has something for all interests, especially modellers. Indeed, the organisers recognise this fact and have established a dedicated modellers' marquee where clubs, societies and traders can exhibit displays.
