The Hangar Dance in full swing  

The dance, in full swing!

1940's nostalgia filled the air as The Squadronaires took us on a "Sentimental Journey" back in time to an era of Big Band Swing, ration books and seamed stockings. The mood was set as 1,000 guests arrived for the dance, many dressed in vintage clothing and uniforms.
