Flying Back to Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome

10/11/2023

0 Comments

 
The Royal Sussex happily returned to Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome after a long gap.  We last visited back in 2016, as reported by our VAD, Meredith.  The weather being less-than-cooperative this past weekend, the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome WW1 weekend was pushed to just Sunday.  Wind conditions meant that, unfortunately, the old airplanes could not safely fly, but the volunteers and staff showcased their birds on the runway.  Joining up with the East Coast Doughboys and the Tsarist 39th Tomsk Regiment, the Royal Sussex and VADs made sure that the British Empire was represented for the day's First World War commemoration.  A short ceremony was held before the ground-show with the playing of the national anthem and all the reenactors were invited to participate in the salute.  We spoke with visiting members of the public about who we represented and, despite the less than ideal weather, had a great time with our friends and among the venerable old warbirds of a century ago. 

Thank you to the East Coast Doughboys for some of the pictures below.
