VISITORS at the Helicopter Museum in Weston can step back in time to experience life in the 1940s.
The museum is joining forces with the town museum to host a special educational family fun day.
Volunteers and staff from both museums will dress up in a mixture of wartime attire alongside members of several World War II re-enactment societies.
On display will be vehicles from the Second World War, actual weaponry used in the conflict and displays of the home guard, 1940s rationing and even German militaria.
A WWII themed flight simulator will also be on site to give visitors the feel of what it would be like to fly on a wartime mission care of the Lancaster Project UK.
Throughout the day helicopter flights will be operating from the museum helipad and a multitude of wartime characters will be talking to visitors about their exploits, equipment and the vehicles used in the conflict.
The living history day starts at 10am and runs until 5.30pm.
