MILITARY AND FLYING MACHINES
SHOW MOVES TO PURLEIGH AND
CHANGES NAME TO ECHOES OF
HISTORY SHOW
The military heritage preservation charity, Essex HMVA, would
like to announce that their flagship event, the Military and
Flying Machines show is to be renamed Echoes of History,
which will be a multi-period history-based event, that will
take place at Barons Lane, Purleigh, Essex, CM9 6PF.
Colin Tebb, Chairman, Essex HMVA said: “Moving the show to
Purleigh gave us an opportunity to look once again at the best
of what the Military and Flying Machines show has to offer,
this has enabled us to have greater focus on living history
displays, military history preservation and exhibitors. We
sincerely believe that these changes will prove to be exciting
to both prior and new visitors alike
The new event will continue to be run on a charitable basis by
a team of unpaid volunteers, with profits going to support
the Charity and other good causes”.
The new show will remain a two-day event, taking place on
Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th of August 2019.
The Essex HMVA is committed to its aims to promote an
understanding of military preservation as well as military
history, providing a source of education and information to
support similar minded individuals and organisations.
Associate memberships are available (and ownership of a
military vehicle is not a requirement) as many of our members
have collections of varying military objects.
The Essex HMVA looks forward to progressing with the show,
which in various guises has been running for over 25 years and
sees this as an opportunity to make the new Echoes of History
event better than ever - we hope you will continue to support
us on this new and exciting adventure.
