Would recommend visiting the Yorkshire Wartime Experience 7 - 9 July 2017. Base yourself in York (which is lovely city) (where I live) and also visit a bunch of castles in the locale and also the Royal Armouries in Leeds.Â
Duxford in Cambridgeshire is a brilliant museum as well. Mainly aircraft but has a substantial vehicle collectiom as well.
Kind regards

To answer your questions:
1. The YWE is the biggest show in the north of England circa 450 vehicles attended last year. In terms of scale it's a lot smaller than war in peace (used to be), but is good day out all the same. They have a very active Facebook page and there is a web site with lots pics. I went last year with my CCKW and enjoyed it a lot.
Depending on what time you are over there are other smaller shows you could see as well or instead of.  For instance there is a 1940 event in Harrogate in latest Jun. Harrogate is a lovely town to visit as is Knaresborough. I've lived in both. They are about a 40 min drive from York. The Yorick centre was flooded again last winter but with new pumps installed hopefully that won't happen again.
2. The Duxford vehicle hall is a still a bit dark...  LOL
Have you guys visited North Wales? If not suggest think about it. 3 hour drive from York. Spend a couple of days there if you can. Amazing scenery lots of historic stuff such as cast!es and old railways.
Kind regards
Ian

I can't give you any worthwhile advise regarding Normandy, other than to say lots of people still go with their vehicles even when its not an aniversary date. Beyond that I can't give a worthwhile opinion.
Its a shape War &Peace is going downhill, it will still be a big event though. From what I've heard a lot less armour was in evidence last year.

Yes, I think that may the case that W&P aren't helping out with transport costs. I know that Yorkshire Wartime Experience (YWE) helped some tank owners out. This year they had a working Stug IIID which was a sight to see running around. Here's a pic of my truck with an M36 that was also running around :)
As another thought, Dover Castle is a great place to visit, also Portsmouth where HMS vistory is berthed.
