did any make it on to the island during the conflict?ive read that some brigade ffr's got on and 2 para had one but not seen a piccys. cheers all

just a quick update, spoke to the shows big boss today, seems a top bloke, looks like we can put a wagon or two as static display on the display, also the lynx can be brought down to display as well. a guy that did a mini falklands display this yr will be contacted as well to see if he wants to be involved. we will come upwith a few rough ideals for adisplay over xmas,then i post it upfor the bods who want to go and then you can have you input before i arrange a recce up north and i can then give the big boss a few ideals of what we can all put on.

as far as i know the alvis guys are holding the show on the same dates as this yr, aug bank holl weekend

great minds think alike, we have a plan todothe Rm with the flag, we have just been told that we can have a s3 109 ambulance with all the gear for a field medic post, and we also have a ffr lightweight, so some kind of dressing post in a 12x12, and a command center with the ffr and 9x9,a couple of fire trenches, and the alvis guys wagons.........

many thanks dan for your help, chev, yeh ive got to pm the show dates to him etc and thanks for your help as well. for the big one in 2012 we will want to build some kind of senerio for the display, so any ideals welcome

hopefully peoplw eill want to display it as part of a living history display, however this isnt every ones cup of tea, so if wagon owners want to display there wagon but not dress up and take part themselves then thats fine, they can always put there wagon on the display and go off and enjoy the show if they choose. i want to make this as open and enjoyable for all concerned

hello all, thought i best start a seperate thread for this display at this show. If i can ask people that wish to join this display or are showing an interest in displaying to write up on this thread, what they can bring along to the display (wagon and kit wise) and what they would like to portray in the display. we would like to get a varried amount of kit up there for this dry run at the show, and if all goes well have a cracking display for the 30th anniv in 2012. Then after christmas we can work out how the display should look and pass this on to the tanks, trucks, firepower show bods and see if thats what they want etc. many thanks for your time lads, i know its early to start planning but we would like this one to me done well and a good display put on for every one involved. cheers darren(combined operations British armed forces living history)
