I would'nt worry to much about not having your mv booked in, I spoke to colin tebb at w+p and told him I had not recieved my booking in forms and he said it would be ok just to turn up.

Chris Warne Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think the vehicle entry criteria is to produce your certificate of insurance on arrival. I'll be there from 'oh my god it's early o'clock' on Saturday with my Dodge, along with Mark Payne (MP Restorations) in the GMC 353 and Ken Clay, who is filming/photographing the entire weekends event (Ken's a TV camerman). Mark and I will be putting on the 9th USAAF Armorer and Aviation Mechanics display - hence why we need a Dodge and GMC to haul everything. In truth, this is our first year, so whilst we have a lot of equipment and aircraft parts, panels, etc.... it's still work in progress. However, we have borrowed a C-47 (minus outer main wings) and this arrived by low-loader this morning.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonP Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 We're going. Last year we were unable to book in in time but we were told there wouldn't be a problem. On the day we turned up in the jeep and some smiling faces directed us to where we needed to be! Not a problem. Great day! :-D Looking forward to this years.

Lord Burley Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well after putting this thread up. I couldn't make it in the end. Had problems with the re-map on the car,so didn't leave till 2.30. Too late to make it in the end. Was there any sort of flying display this year??. Hope you all had a good time. Anyone got any pics?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris C8 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Great Show, good to see some HMVF members there. sunday was the best for the sun, there was at least 1 mile Q to get in. Hope some one can put some photos on, worn out so going to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellstar Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yes was quite impressed with the amount of armour on display at the show. Especially given the size and location of the arena. I first said to Griff66, no that's just the arena for the living history displays, they'll have somewhere else for the vehicles since it looks far too small for the vehicles to turn around in the circuit Well that was true for the M26 which had to just "park" in the middle and let all the smaller vehicles buzz around it:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Warne Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We had a fantastic weekend. Damyns is quickly becoming one of our 'mandatory' shows each year, having been for the past 3 years and it just gets better and better. Saturday: Early morning light rain and some heavy showers early evening didn't put a dampener on the event. A huge selection of vehicles, but importantly not all jeeps and Landrovers - there was a very varied selection on display. As always at this event, everyone friendly - re-enactors, public, officials, etc, etc... Personal Highlight of the day: BBMF Lanc display " Highlight of the evening: Sharing a bottle of 20+ year old 'Eau De Vie' (Breton Calvados) with anyone who stopped by our camp. Sunday: Weather dry, sunny and warm. The public flocked to the event in their thousands, causing long tailbacks on local roads. Had a suprising number of veterans from postwar conflicts coming up and telling stories about postwar Jimmy use. Same as the Saturday, a huge and varied selection of vehicles to see. Personal Highlight: B-17 Sally B If I was making awards for 'biggest effort of the weekend', then Gavin Copeman and his crew would get it. Not taking anything away from the other excellent displays and the MVT organisation with this, but considering Gavin brought his M-26 Dragon Wagon and Sherman to this 'local' event, requiring 3 x low-loaders (or 3 return trips), the logistical effort deserves an award by itself. It was also great to see a unique combination of Transporter and Tank at my local show. IMHO, Damyns Hall is one of the leading events on the MV calendar and next year we'll be setting up from Friday - just so we get a little more time there. Well done to everyone involved - superb weekend, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone I spoke to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonylightweight Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 i second that regarding the m26, trailer, and tank i watched them loading on sunday. the amount of effort that took i totally admire their dedication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was there with my WOA2. I've never been to the show before as it's a fair way to get to for me, but I will go again. Highlights for me were the Lancaster, B17 and the Spitfire. Not a too crowded show and a good atmosphere. Even the Saturday evening music was acceptable. Toilet block was a million miles better than another local show I went to last month. The Road Run to Fords was a bit of a let down, but enjoyable. Perhaps try again? Wartime radio display French Cafe display Luftwaffe planes being checked over My WOA2 back at Ford, where it was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
