  1. So will the those that had bookings rolled over now get their refunds I wonder 🤔 .

    Summer fun occurs every year, but it’s contained within the hop farm main site. The entrance to W&P moved from the main site to the field when the show relocated back from the race course, so family’s not attending W&P could still access the kids activities. it will be interesting to see if they promote the show at all at the Luke’s of Malvern etc like they have in the past.

    I see from a post on the W+P site, they are due to attend some of the commemorative events in Normandy next month- might be worth putting forward the concerns of the mv community direct to them there. Unfortunately I’m not able to go😩

    I truly hope not, whilst W+P has had many detractors over the years (notably toilet and shower gate) in its own way it had become an institution, its size, duration and support from the EU mv community etc made it unique. It would be a shame to loose it in this way. I know there are other shows, who maybe support owners better or are more user friendly but none can surpass W+P in it heyday. I just hope the new owners take note of the comments being made across this forum and the many FB pages and reengage with the mv / reenactment community.

    They must have been monitoring these posts! Posted recently, love the headline ‘nothing to see here,’ as judging by posts on here and most of the FB forums …. There won’t be 🤣🤣

    Less than 24 hours since my last post and W+P have just posted on FB that now 300+ vehicles are attending 🤔 @ 100 vehicles a day, we’ll soon be back to the glory days of W+P !

    Todays announcement from W+P - over 200 vehicles booked in - anyone remember what they used to have ? Can’t get to my old programmes now. I see if you enter as a MOP on the day it’s £30, only £25 if you pre book.

    I see Bruce Compton has been confirmed as a guest, I wonder if he’s getting paid to attend or their charging him the entrance

    Ditto, some years I’d go and camp the week, with the family joining me for a time, others I’d be a day tripper and go home each evening / often returning for the night activities. I appreciate for many it was a cheap (ish) weeks holiday camping at what was the premier MV show in Europe, but with increased cost, the overall downturn in the show numbers of MVs (especially armour), stalls etc since the takeover and the rise of many other (free in many cases) shows it is less appealing. be interesting to see the build-up in the days before and if it looks promising attend as a MOP. I am sure the lure of it as it’s so near will be hard resist if only to pick up a bargain from stalls not selling anything !

    So someone has asked the same question over on the MVT Facebook page and subsequently rung the Hop Farm direct, they were told that apparently discussions are ongoing with the show organisers ……

    Interesting… with only 6 months to go you’d think they’d have the website up for bookings etc. Hence why I thought I’d ask if anyone who had booked had received a notification of their intentions this year. Guess it’s a wait and see !
  12. Has anyone had any notifications on W+P for this year? Wasn’t booked in to the 2020 show as it conflicted with the annual family holiday, would have been the first I’d missed in 20yrs and with last year cancelled, thought I’d get in early and book this years, but note the website is not currently up and running yet……
  13. My kids would never forgive me if I got rid of it…. £9k doesn’t seem bad looking at the c*ap currently about, especially evilbay etc, although I do see a few mods like the arch extensions which aren’t to a purists taste. Seems to be little about currently, during lockdown one there wer quite a few gems around, but the ban on travel restricted viewing. I’ll look at your pm, whilst I fancy another mv my wife wants me to buy a classic car for goodwood etc so have also been looking at MK2 jags and V8 Daimler’s……..decisions decisions…. A Humber staff car would probably be the happy medium but then it spares/servicing etc or rather finding someone to do. The others are ok as we have good local specialists.
  14. Morning Ferg Have you given up on finding a lwt then? One has just popped up on the lwt Facebook page at £9k, looks ok from the photos and only a trailer. Funnily enough I have been looking for a 110 to add as a stable mate to your old lwt, can’t find the right one at the right price currently.
  15. I have a similar can and I’ve always wondered why the military would still be using this type of can in the 50,s vs the Jerry can. I think mine is 53 dated too.
