An airfield in Holbeach St Johns proved a magnet for classic car enthusiasts on Sunday as almost 1,000 people visited its second annual vintage show.

About 120 vintage vehicles and planes filled Fenland Airfield as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations for Fenland Aero Club.

The event was also a chance for people to raise about £270 for Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance as well as wander around various craft stalls, watch a display by Crowland Gliders and enjoy a barbecue.

Katie Booth from the airfield said: “This is only the second year we’ve done it, but the day was a success one of the people who brought a vintage car here said it was a very enjoyable day.

“The idea of the event is to get classic cars and aeroplanes together for the owner of the airfield who is heavily involved in classic cars as a hobby.

“Unfortunately, we only had four planes that flew due to the high winds but there were about 120 vintage vehicles on show and plans are already being made for next year’s show.”
