A Lancaster bomber is to fly past at Masham Steam Engine and Fair Organ Rally on Saturday.
The two-day event, which started in the 1960s as a fundraiser to save Masham Town Hall, has become one of the Harrogate district summer highlights.
It returns this weekend after a two-year hiatus due to covid. Several thousand people are expected to attend.
There will be 42 steam engines, dancing diggers, a fairground and lots of other activities in the rally field just outside Masham.
But the highlight will be the Lancaster bomber, which is due to fly past at 1.02pm on Saturday.
The rally was due to have a Dakota fly past on its 50th anniversary but it had to be cancelled due to the weather. This weekend’s forecast, however, is excellent.
Flo Grainger, who has helped to organise the event for 30 years, said:
“It’s another step to getting back to normal and we are all looking forward to the event returning. We are very lucky to have the Lancaster.”
Entry costs £12 for adults, £7 for concessions and £3 for children over five. Younger children get in for free. A caravan park is available for overnight visitors.
