The Chieftain (Willich) Facine Layer will be attending, one of only four remaining in the world, now that she has 'most' of her issues dealt with.

Unfortunately it has gone, very bad timing.

Entry Form. It may seem trivial, but it does help a great deal with organisation.

Don't know if you have considered a 155mm AH70 ? It seems easy to deal with and get bits for etc, and looks great towed behind a 432 or the Chieftain Willich. We generally just use it for static displays etc When i find the pics of 432 etc, i will post them.

I think i might need 5 mins in that M746 if thats ok ? Whats the story with the T72 ? is that coming ?

No worries, there is a 'top car park' off load there, let us no when. Dave and I will be permanently on site thursday till tuesday if you need us to off load.

Sorry to hear that Tim, we are generally running tanks around most weekends, if you want to come join us another weekend, let us know.

Both Antar's are on site and ready for action !

Spotted Today. At Junction 19 M62

For those of us who can't make it, many thanks for the great pics, keep them coming.

The guy who makes them for me has that figure in mind as well, (300 - 500) It will be more like 300 if he has a few to do. If it is just 1 to make then towards 500. The question is how many people want one, are there a couple of people who want one, if so let me know.
