Rover8FFR Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The Shorland has just passed its MOT & ready to come. Just hope it can cope with all those hills on the way Well done Clive.... I bet you were pleased after all the TLC recently etc. How's the FV1609 getting on. I've noticed the gearbox is....... Nice and Yellow!

fv1609 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Wayne I've come to realise that the primer on the Shorland armour is the same yellow. FV1609 floor is gradually going back in, but the problem is not just fitting the ali floor but the plywood floor as well, then the battery frame, then the battery boxes & then the seat. Once its all back I don't want to see bits I have missed as I keep seeing little bits I have missed then go back over again & dribble a bit on something in an attempt to get at some deep crevice. So it is a cycle of sky blue, lemon, DBG & black touch ups. So mavbe I will take the Pig to Evesham next year, but the trouble is all them hills. I don't doubt either will make up them eventually but what concerns me is the moronic driver be it of HGV or car that thinks they can bully me into going faster by tailgating. Having to go into first gear often causes recriminations, which I can do without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papav66 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 More treats for you guys. We've got more traders booked in than ever before, over 60 so do bring some pocket money. In addition to the four BBMF aircraft coming, I just took a call confirming that the Red Arrows are also going to be with us on the Sunday, admittedly in the excitement I forgot to ask if thats for a flypast or display, but I'm just thrilled that they will be there.

Papav66 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Popped over to the camp yesterday & took some pics of some recent additions. Now have a 2nd Consol shelter (the slightly smaller one) which was lifted out of a garden in Windsor so guess it may have been outside a Royal residence. And in April these 20+ anti-tank blocks were salvaged from underneath the Abbey Road bridge in Evesham which is currently being re-built. I was expecting them to be taller like the one in the background, but guess they would still do the job once correctly spaced out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papav66 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Total mv's now up to 383 which is fantastic considering we are not the National Show! & a few more registering each day. And here's the latest layout, to give you an idea of where to park up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fms Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Went a couple of years ago, just as a humble visitor. It's looking like this show is growing year on year. Is there any tracked armour on the list this year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
