Enigma

I didn't buy it so please don't beat me up. 😅

Curious where it would be held.

On that Dutch event site as of now only Vroom vroom race events.

Lets see how this pans out...

Haven't heard anything about that.

I did love to go to the show and meet up with old friends.

But for us mainlanders it would be a  hassle coming over since the thing we shan't mention...starting with a B.....

I'd like to have a similar show in southern netherlands of North Belgium.

Could there be some sort of governor  (speed limiter)  somewhere which is stuck in the wrong setting?

Then the government could pay Nick so he can transport them?

The UK government could later get payment from Ukraine?

(Guess I am thinking to simply here).

24 new tyres? 

But it looks great! Hopefully I'll see it at A&E.

Damn, hopefully those *&^%#$# will come to their senses and return it.

Why gift them. Why not let the government take the money and pass it to the vehicle sellers?

That would be the best thing.

Looks a bit rough but a lot is still there.  

Nice addition for most WW2 museums

If I gift all of the vehicle how long before we just go bankrupt and no more vehicles are overhauled and supplied. British vehicles cost ukraine 10% of the cost of American vehicles. Ukraine is happy to pay and not short of funds. Government strict legislation on uk banks stops banks of even daring to get involved. They can’t pay.

Giving them away is indeed not a option. So UK government, buy them and gift them to Ukraine...

Only just saw this post.  Love the built and diorama.

Nice, I especially like them because at last A&E my buiddy and I were on/in both vehicles (1/2 track was a M16).

Couldn't the UK government buy them and organise the sale to Ukraine?

Nice Ron.  Looking forward to photo's of you tearing up the sands...😀

After the war lots of Jeeps were converted to civvie use by adding doors, fixed roofs and more.

Wow, that is cool!

Cool helmet, especially because you have a familie tie to it.

K2 ambulance?

Tomorrow will be the re-dedication.

LEST WE FORGET!

Hmmm, thats a strange one.

Looks a bit like a Belgian M1882 but also a bit like a model 1908 German export/Brazilian mauser bayonet.

But no exact match found.

 I'd expect it to be pre-WW1.

Just to add . . . this very nasty jazzed-up helmet is on tat-bazar (sic) now.  The seller wants £138 and I'm still trying to work out why?  A truly horrible modern overpaint.

 

Really badly executed "recreation"...I would have made a better job making one of those.

That's a goodlooking one.

Also called a Zuckerman helmet.

Sobering to see a photo of the man instead of just a headstone.
