Photography Workshop
Join us on Saturday 21 April 2018 for a photo workshop mixing historic aircraft with professional re-enactors wearing period clothing! In addition to the re-enactors, there will be several vehicles and encampments all adding to the feel that you are immersed in the Second World War. Workshop attendees will be able to choose between several stations set up by the 3G team with staged photoshoots intended to teach specific photography techniques. There will also be plenty of time to roam the encampments, visit the flightline and witness re-enactors engage in mock battles throughout the day.
