Visitors to the Severn Valley Railway were asked to wear their best nylon stockings and head scarves as they stepped back in time to help the heritage railway line celebrate the 1940s.
The highlight of the two-day event on Saturday and yesterday was the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which saw historic planes taking to the skies for a flypast of the full 16 miles of the railway between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth.
Visitors were encouraged to dress up in authentic 1940s-style clothes for the occasion.
