Classic Fighters 2023 - the V2 Finale

Classic Fighters continued their tradition of  ground theatre in 2023 with the piece-de-resistance being a full size German V 2 rocket that was towed out and raised to the vertical using hydraulics I understand:

The V 2 being towed along the crowd line.  It was an externally pretty accurate replica I reckon.

And in position to launch with a Polikarpov Po-2 sneaking around.

Then on the Sunday it was blown up during the massed airfield attack at the end of the airshow.  Thanks to Brian Greenwood for this photo.
