These pictures were among many taken by Shaun Symonds at the Nationals 2008. They have been chosen for a common theme - crew and figures to set off the vehicles.

Not been to Duxford? For the last few years the Nationals have been held at the Imperial War Museum Duxford near Cambridge. This is a superb venue with a full size military vehicle rally and flying displays of historical aircraft on the day, as well as access to the museums usual exhibits. For those unfamiliar with the museum, Duxford houses the larger exhibits of vehicle and aircraft that cannot be displayed at the Imperial War Museum London. So you have a full-size airfield, a fine collection of vehicles, and a magnificent aircraft collection, including the USAAF's war memorial collection.
