Vlaanderen

Hi, this vehicle belongs to my friend who is restoring it at the moment. Is the plate still available as we would like to reunite it with the vehicle?.

Pretty much every one I spoke to throughout the week - be it re-enactors, MV owners or even traders - felt the new owners were swinging the focus of the show too far away from being an MV and Living History show that the public come and enjoy to a county type show where MV's are almost an afterthought. I know the new owner is into running gun shows - but did we really need adverts for such shows everywhere?? I did speak to someone from the original organisers way back when the show started whilst up at the armourers on the Tuesday and he was less than happy at what had been done and the reactions he'd been getting from everyone on the military side.

 

Vlaanderen - its all we can really do. I hope it remains open for us to use. Not as close to home as the Hop Farm but a bit easier to get to - especially when the Militant starts making the run.

Hi Neil,

Many thanks for your comments, for me it is a 650 mile round trip, part of the fun of the "Old" W&P at the Hop Farm.

Speculation, rumours, "I've heard from someone" and the like always happens every year, yet delving into parish rights and planning permission applications can bring knowledge.

That doesn't actually say the race course is NOT being built on - it says there is a development afoot for a 12,000 home estate the area for which includes the race course:

 

"The new proposals have now been revealed as incorporating the land around and including Folkestone Racecourse - which closed to racing in 2012."

Hi Neil,

It reads two ways, like a politician;

A huge 12,000-home development is being put forward for former farmland near Folkestone Racecourse, KentOnline can exclusively reveal.

I think we will wait and see.

Hi to all,

The racecourse is NOT being built on, despite all the rumours.

Hi to all,

I thought it about time I got started on the site.

Own a 1980 Landrover Lightweight, 12v G.S., commonly known as "Sarge", also a 1986 Sankey Widetrack known as "Private".

Located in Fulwood, nr. Preston, Lancs.

Usually found in July wandering around fields in Kent armed with cameras.

Recognize quite a few friends on here.

Regards, Norman.
