One of these was parked around the corner from my house in Desborough last week, wonder if it was the same one, can't imagine there'll be many desert camo Opel Blitz's in the UK surely!

Cheers Folks, spent my first thirty years growing up(Sort of) in Harborough. Love the big Scammells, remember a chap by the railway line letting me and a friend get in and look at his Scammell(Pioneer I think) when we we're about 10-11, so I think that's what's sown the seeds for old military vehicles :-). Unfortunately can't make Blaston as I've promised my 9 year old daughter we'd go Santa Pod for the drag racing(she's a bit of a tom boy) :-). Milton Keynes could be a possibility, will see nearer the time. Hopefully see you around sometime, and I'll say hello.:laugh:

I know I'm considerably late in this conversation, but there is/was a RAM/Kangaroo sitting in a gateway to a house just on the outskirts of Desborough where I live, anyone know it??? Form what I remember it's rather battered and pretty sure it's a non runner!

Just a quick hello to everyone, been interested in military vehicles since I was a kid, love the idea of owning a 'tank' of some description, although lottery win not withstanding I can't see it happening! :-( Anyway, hoping to pop along to the Armour and Embarkation do this weekend down in Dorset, any hints or tips on best place to stand and watch? Will be taking my 9 year old daughter along for a bit of Dad/Daughter time I've been spending far too much time (when I shouldn't be) looking at various tank resto's on here, all I can say is I'm in absolute awe of what people can achieve!!!! Anyway, best go and do some work, cheers Richard Jackson or Jacko to my mates! :-)
