Classic cars, motorbikes and military vehicles turned out for Wimborne Model Town’s recent Vintage Day event. John Ilott’s ‘Jimmy’, a 1943 ten-wheeled American troop carrier was the big hit while visitors crowded into the garden arena to wave flags and listen to a ‘We’ll Meet Again’ 1940s tribute by The Land Girls.

Dave Stokes from the Dorset BSA Owners Club spent the day giving sidecar rides with his1950s motorcycle combinations and raised £115 in donations for the volunteer run charity visitor attraction.

Spokesman Greg Hoar said: “With the warm September sunshine, the Model Town was offering a quieter reflective Vintage Day atmosphere this year in the run up to the royal funeral.”
