Enigma

Wish I could say the same:-(

Its a shame you couldn't attend mate.

Just arrived home, quite tired.

It was marvelous and want to thank a lot of people, so take a chair.

Jack, Jim and Adrian for the main organisation.

Broadmayne Steve amongst a lot for the school trip.

Jacqui, Jouw nederlands is prima,nu de rest nog...

Mack-Steve (damn, forgot your wifes name:blush:) for the tea in the truck

Robert for returning me to camp

The AA halftrack guys for returning my medic bag, sorry I wandered off.

Julian and Sam for sharing a meal. (any helmet dreams yet?)

Richard and Rosie for the laughs.

Ken for introducing me to Nigel.

Wargaming.net for the sponsorship.

The despatch riders for keeping us moving through traffic.

All those who helped organise it, people I talked with and many more made it a very enjoyable trip.

Now I know I must have forgotten a few of you, I met so many people so thanks and sorry.

Armoured troops had black berets, green berets is Commando's.

Less than a week to go :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :cool2: :cool2: :cool2: :cool2:

I'm leaving tomorrow evening. :yay:

Surely no-one's really surprised about this are they?

Anniversary years only count when they end in a 0 or a 5, for media purposes - that's when the 'VIPs' turn out and, hence, the TV cameras.

Veterans - they're still around, but (of course) getting frailer and thinner on the ground. Guess we'll see the last of them pass on in the next decade or so. The very youngest of them will be in their late 80s already.

But - their glory shall not be blotted out!

The last months several veterans we knew passed away.

Unavoidable offcourse but still sad.

At least we MV enthousiasts, re-enacters and history buffs remember.

I plan to arrive on Thursday so roll out the Red carpet and put the kettle on.

BTW, on Wednesday I will drive from Dover to Southhampton via the motorway...In case of a breakdown could I call someone on route? PM please.

I have a modern car but you never know.

Absolutely!

Thanks Sir. :saluting:

So, does that mean that 'Kettenrad' really means 'chains wheels' ?

 

trevor

I guess its Tracked motorcycle would be better.

Ketten is tracks and Krad a abreviation of Kraftfahrrad, more or less a motorcycle.

Is there maybe a spare place on a tank for a cheecky Dutchman? :coffee:

Get I get onsite and park there with my Civvie car? (Hotel Berlingo)

Hi Olaf, Ive printed the forms out for you, I will post them to you this afternoon.

Thanks!! :laugh:

Is anyone able to download and print out both pages via PDF?

I only get the first page, I hate Pdf's, they Always give me grief.

Maybe someone can PM it as photo's to me?

Neil......see my entry above. I dont think you will be receiving any entry packs. I think all you get is what you can print online.....your receipt.

From the website;

The paperwork and passes for all exhibitors will be sent out during June.

Painted a while ago;

"Fibre rim" type made from a RAC shell.

New liner and aged straps.

I agree with you Bob but in view of your comment why not show where you are located?

:beatenup:

I'm not green from envy...

Looks like a good event with some nice vehicles.

I'd love to have my own kettenkrad, only have to win the lottery or find a wealthy woman.

The non-lethal accidents would at least neccesitate a changing of undergarments...

Tyre;

Don't forget to check the inside of the tyre for debris a nail or similar.

Its no fun installing a new inner tube, inflating and finding out someting was in the tyre.

And not only check the inside but also from the outside.

On my bicycle....(hey,no laughing in the back) I patched the innertube several times and it leaked in the same place but I could feel nothing on the inside of the outer tyre.

It turned ou to be a small piece of iron. It couldn't be felt on the inside but when driving it got pushed in, puncturing the inner tube.

Annoying on a bicycle but mega annoying on a tyre like yours.

The stollies in their new home

Caption contest?!!

Stollies making love in the open air...:red:

Don't show this to Andrew Rowe....he'll might get it running in a few months time.

Are you sure its 1967 and not 1987? The stamp looks a bit smudgy.

Amazing drawings!

Thanks for sharing them and the photo.

Check your inbox Sir!

How about a Dutchman?

(Althought I won't bring a MV I may try to persuade a tankowner to take me along)

Better tell these veterans they were scammers then

Offcourse I know about the CJ's used by the Dutch in the Dutch Indies...

But you know what I meant, although it is kinda to the point, what is a real/correct MV?

The Mahindra in WW2 setting was the better of the 2 examples I mentioned.
