Superb show,despite my HT breaking down.More on that later !! The show organisers couldn't do enough,for vehicle owners.Great turn out of armour,which is rare at any show.The weather was sunny most of the time hooray!!.Id like to say a personal thank you,to all the guys who stayed behind and helped me load my HT.To all the organisers,a big thank you from me.Ill defo be back next year,with hopefully a complete running M16 ie with maxim turret. Stu

Hi All,my HT has broke down,with heavy smoke coming out of the oil filler cap.There no back pressure,good oil pressure,& no smoke coming out of the exhaust.Engine just been rebuilt.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers stu

My paints still wet,just doing the last of the markings tonight.lowloader picking me up Tom at 6pm.Save me a spot mate.Just spoke to Malcolm he's all loaded up with his HT & newly bought Harley. stu

Drove my halftrack,yesterday for the first with out any problems.First public outing will be,next weeks Rauceby wartime event.Cant wait :-)

Already booked a low loader mate,first outing of my newly restored M16 Halftrack.I know Malcolm is talking his White halftrack as well !! should be fun mate,see you there. stu

Hi All,don't forget it's the Saddleworth wartime weekend next weekend.The BBMF flypast are confirmed,with a flypast by both the Dokata & a Spitfire.There's more room this year for the bigger vehicles at the school & at a local farm.Hope to see you all there. www.ww2events.co.uk Regard's Stu

Well it took a little longer,than expected to get my HT up & running.she's finally running hooray !!.Still have a problem,with the brass cab petrol valve.As I haven't been able to stop it leaking yet.May have to use,the french made one. Cheers stu

I'm really sorry,the owner of the bolster truck has had his truck stolen.The only thing I can add is something my father,told me years ago.Which I now do religiously .Every owner of a military vehicle/equipment should go out and buy a ultra violet pen.Mark every part of the vehicle/equipment with your post code,as I've done,then if a vehicle is broken up you can still trace the parts.Unless of coarse they remove the paint.Every panel of my nearly restored HT has been marked this way along with all my other vehicles.I do believe,if we all mark our vehicles this way it will make it a bam sight harder for them to sell on.These pens are sometimes given away by the police,as home crime prevention. I hope this helps. Stu

All being well,you should hopefully have four halftracks in attendance.Really looking forward to this show. Stu

I managed to find a nos drivers wing,for my HT hooray

I've got 2 1/2tons of Austin K2 parts mainly engine, gearbox & wheel assembly parts.I do have other spares as well Cheers stu

After the show ,on Sunday night I became alittle ill to say the least.Thank you all very much for your kind word and support,it's much appreciated.Without any doubt this was the best show ive ever attended,everyone helped each other and stuck together.Under terrible conditions,Phils High speed tractor was one of the stars of the show,doing what she was designed to do.Towing vehicles and heavy artillery about.Phil also carried in the band and disco with his GMC,in his pyjamas at one point.Mikes OX bought in all the tables and chairs from the local scout hut Thank you!!The artillery lads did a superb display.Many thanks to all the vehicle & reenactment groups that attended.Especially all those bonkers enough to stay on site thank you.I went back to the site tonight,just to make sure everything was cleared up.As I shut the gate,Robbo the farmer said,he wants all his mud back.So I hope to see you all there next year. Stu

Me neither mate,the farmer also own's the local pub plus restaurant.He's doing cooked breakfasts .So we'll be fine mate.There will be other stalls selling food as well. Cheer's Stu

Another two tanks have booked in today hooray. I checked the ground out today,thankfully it's all bone dry.Finger's crossed it'll stay that way,at least the land has very good drainage.Direction's to site where only two miles off the M62 motorway Jun 26,onto the A58 Leeds past the Hunsworth pub on your left.Straight through first set of light's second set turn left onto Hunsworth Lane.Past the Saville Arms pub,and where just over the motorway bridge on your left. www.ywe-event.info Safe journey guy's Stu
