Hi John,

 

i very much doudt it, as both stage 1 & 2 are a fair distance away from the show. The only problem visiters may face, would be the M62 Motorway. There are several B roads to the site in any case. And yes where pleased to say the T34/85, will be attending again this year. Along with 45 other pieces of Armour !!!

weve now recieved 371 military vehicle, and 70 Re-enacent Group bookings, which is incredible, considering this is only our 3rd year.

 

Regards

Is the Tour de France going to give any grief re the approach roads to the site do you think?

 

John.

 

Stage 1 on the Saturday shouldn't interfere as I guess most exhibitors will be there by then, but if you're coming from North of Bradford the route goes Leeds - Ilkley - Skipton then up Wharfedale, so be aware. Stage 2 on the Sunday comes across the A59 and down from Ilkley to the West of Bradford via Keighley, Hebden Bridge and then to Sheffield.

 

Anyone who is worried there's an interactive map of closures etc. at http://letour.yorkshire.com/travel/travel-information-map

Alls looking good on site, today with several military vehicles already here, inc two Tanks. Marquee now going up, and a start has been on building of the massive ww2 American Re-enactment camp. Tomorrow is going to be very busy, with 44 of the 70 Re-enactment Groups/Displays expected on site. With the rest arriving Friday. http://www.ywe-event.info

Another show four page write up, is in this months Classic military vehicle magazine. Issue no 162.

On another note, the show has just been given a rare ww2 RAF 2 x axle towed fuel bowser. The Centurion BARV, has also arrived, on long term loan. So yet another, rare piece of Armour, to see running around the arena next year.

2015 new show dates 3-5 July http://www.ywe-event.info
