title Brome Village VE/VJ Celebrations, The Village Hall, Brome, Suffolk - 4th September 2005 intro As a quick stop-off on the way back from Southwold, and prior to a BBs gig in the evening, Nosher stops off at Brome's VE/VJ Day celebrations for an hour or so. DH and Marc are already set up with beer, and the ever-photogenic Alfie Elliot is milling about. A bit later, the Vicar arrives, followed by Peter West who was to give a talk on WW2 history. In attendance is the anti-aircraft truck "Claire", which we'd seen a few months back at Debach airfield's open day. There's even a quick but noisy flypast from Maurice Hammond's Stearman. imgp9456 The chicken-shit power station on Eye airfield imgp9473 A tractor trundles around near Pakenham imgp9476 A tractor turns around imgp9492 It's all a bit harrowing imgp9679 A bee does its thing imgp9684 A field of sunflowers imgp9686 Sunflowers near Denham imgp9689 A Denham sunflower field imgp9693 A teleporter follows a trailer around imgp9696 The old Hoxne Service Station imgp9697 Old petrol pumps in Hoxne imgp9699 An old diesel pump imgp9700 A marquee outside the village hall in Brome imgp9701 Alfie roams around imgp9702 Alfie Elliot mills about with his tankard imgp9703 Clive "Chickens" with his military vehicles imgp9704 Local resident Frank arrives imgp9705 DH and Marc lean against the village hall imgp9707 Alfie again imgp9708 Alfie leans against the village hall imgp9710 Alfie and Marc imgp9712 Hanging around by the village hall imgp9714 Alfie slurps a pint imgp9716 It's like the 1940s imgp9717 A woman in an appropriate dress talks to the vicar imgp9720 Lofty Land, the social club's barman imgp9722 Clive in his gear imgp9723 Lofty, side on imgp9724 A veteran (left) talks about flying escapades imgp9725 An impressive collection of memorabilia imgp9728 More history rummaging imgp9731 In the village hall imgp9733 The balloons are out imgp9736 Maurice Hammond's Stearman flies around imgp9740 Alfie borrows Marc's combat helmet and salutes imgp9741 Clive's collection of stuff imgp9742 Alfie again imgp9743 The village elders imgp9745 Peter West chats to John Lummis imgp9747 Alfie Elliot imgp9752 Ellie hangs around imgp9754 On Brome Street imgp9756 The Brome and Oakley village sign, from 2000
