yep a very good weekend, we were very very busy with public on our spot, so busy i never got a real look at the museum, i did spot however the NI display with piccys of the shot down lynx that nearly killed me on my tour must go back for a proper look.

lol, we have to vet our nutters

yeh thats us, we had to have it a closed group as to many nutters out there

It also depends which date period you want to stay in with your weapons. Woodern SLR's were used upto a certain period, then NBC stuff came in to action and they changed furniture to plastic, in the 80's I think as plastic was easy to wrip down if chemicals got on them as wood would have soaked any chemicals and stay on there for a while. I not sure on prices, but I'm looking to join a reenactment group covering either the 80's or 90's, know of any?

 

All the best Trevor the barber

also combined operations british armed forces living history 1980-2000

we are also on face book

we are based in bristol and do shows in the south and south west

yep we getting there........ although I think adding the claymores and bouncing bettys might be a bit much dont you

 

Mark

you can never have to many claymores, it sharpens up the publics reaction times we find

the days of just mv shows are long dead ,people want more bang for there money, they want as much on show as they can get

couldnt open your form you sent me, wasnt in a format the pc recconised

not many germans then

i only did out in the cuds on my tour (xmg) ,we only used standard issue kit

if youve not gone to w and p yet, alex is there with the money, other wise ill get your address and send money mate

Im not too far away here in Yeovil and could bring a vehicle to display of an 'apt' nature to support the day.

So I would gladdly help in any way

our group were looking at doing a N.I display at this one, one of your snatch wagons would be good

ok steve, can u email me a entry form when u get back from w and p, did u get my message about the washing line ariel?

do you want us down there for this one mate?

cant say ive seen them before

what group has the northern island set up with the wall and sanger?

dont know how your going to set up the displays etc but if any one has a period wagon that they want to put next to our BAOR display or in please feel free

corr that will cost you

we also need a chat about a display at your bournmouth show in oct when we see you mate

will be down on the fri afternoon

how many 432 drivers stick to the 20 limit . not many i know

thats what i thought,does make me laugh, on another thread every ones going on how carefull everyone is on the rds etc and then u see that

we went to the other show, it was pants,never again

"As regards the issue of any old tom dick and harry buying one and going on the road after an hour on a mini digger is just a little silly really. I doubt that happens."

blimey , of course it does, just as ringers taken driving tests for there mates, because these wagons are so cheep and nut job can buy one.it wont be the likes of the drivers on here that will cause the accident, it will be the nutter who has more money than sense that doesnt do the required maintence etc

not be able to reserve a plot, my god your have the ive been pitching here for the past 500 yrs brigade on here all crabby now

one of the biggest problems seems to be the price of 432's ,as they are so cheep now any one can go out and buy one, cheet your way through the H test and hit the rd's, its like winning the lottery at 18 and going out and buying the fastest sports car ever and blasting it down the rds.now i know it would never happen but what would be wrong with some set up in place where you have to be registered and prove to the powers to be that yes i can handle a big tracked wagon and i do know that i have to maintain it etc.this might/could stop any one buying these things and causing any trouble?

wasnt a loose nut, the who nut had gone and the only thing holding the pin in place and there fore the track was friction, add to that going full tilt down a quite narrow country rd, those are the prats who will balls it up for every one else.these are the same people who pass there h test on a mini digger then go and buy a 432.thw whole system needs sorting.432's and abouve are big heavy bits of kit on par with hgv's.

im sure most of the owners/drivers on here are more than safe and very carefull however as with normal car drivers there are clowns out there who arnt
