A 1941 Army ambulance will be among an estimated 151 military vehicles descending on a Bradford wildlife park.
It is believed the gathering of military vehicles, at Ponderosa Rural Therapeutic Centre, Heckmondwike, will be one of the largest seen in the north of England.
On Saturday, July 10, and Sunday, July 11, tanks will be in action, Second World War artillery guns will be fired, and on Saturday there will be a Battle of Britain Dakota flyover.
A static Spitfire will also be among the British, American and German vehicles on display.
Debbie Burton, a manager at Ponderosa, said the farm provided employment opportunities for people with disabilities or who were autistic or disadvantaged.
Yorkshire Military Vehicles Trust member Stuart Wright, of East Bierley, whose ten-year-old son Liam is mildly autistic, said: “There will be a full living history re-enactment battle with guns and explosions.”
