Thanks for positive answers!

 

(Im sorry for not best English)

 

it could be a motivation to complete the renovation of other MW,

 

think two years is long time and more owners have interest?

 

Try contact Tv , History chanel (?) may be have interes for this Bedfords Mw show,

 

Think best place for meeting is Longues sur mer, British zone, very nice place,

 

I do not know how many in Europe, mobile, renovation of Bedford MW?

 

30 -50 vehicles ??? Maybe much better know John?

Hello Tom,

I'd say there are at least 20-30 Aeroscreen MW's in europe. If you can find them all and i'd guess there are around 200+ MW's all together.

 

A friend restoring an aeroscreen water tanker is also going to try and finish his for this event.

 

 

Regards John

You'd all be more than welcome at our planned British Living History event in Ver sur Mer.

 

We now have the adjoining field complete with tobruk, so there's plenty of room...........

 

Sounds ok to me, any more thoughts on this one?

Good morning gents.

 

The Living History camp at Ver sur Mer (Gold Beach) organisation is now in full swing, so if you want to arrange a meet-up there, (probably 7th or 8th June?) you'll all be more than welcome. As I said way back, we have extra space this time, and it would be nice to fill it!

I am taking my Bedford MWR. Most interested in doing a photo shoot for Military Machines International Mag if MW owners are

interested. We could get some cracking photos of Bedford's finest. Also taking pix of all vehicles as covering the Tour for the mag. Will be in the MVT campsite. How about it Bedford owners.

Hi Nigel Roberts and Peter Heath and Bedford MW USK 856 here. We really want to be there. Can you tell us who to talk to, to book into the living history camp. Don't want to upset people by gate crashing. Regards N.P.R. Arte et Marte

Good morning Nigel, good morning Peter, good morning MW.

 

Very much depends on what you'd like to do. I must emphasis that it's a Living History event at which there will be suitable historic vehicles, NOT a military vehicle event per se.

 

So if you want to simply visit us, you'll be welcome any time.

 

If however you'd like to attend the event on a more formal basis, please complete and return the form that you'll find here -
