There is a Military vehicle show and small flying display this weekend at Damyns Hall Upminster. Usually have a few tanks and armoured vehicles there. I think they may do rides aswell. Lancaster is displaying Saturday only, BBMF Dak, Spit & Hurricane Flypast on Sunday, and Sally B on Sunday aswell. There is A Spitfire and Me108 display on both days.

There's also the Muckleborough Collection near Sheringham on the N Norfolk coast - they used to do demomstration runs on the beach. Its many years since I was there last but one of the staff maintainers/ drivers was an ex German WW2 Tank Driver!
