My old trailer with my Bedford RLW. Can't remember full reg of trailer but know it was --FG--

Most of the time it isn't the vehicle owners that do something wrong, but the dumb arse spectator or someone that doesn't know better puts themselves in a situation and gets hurt. Remember the little boy that was hurt (killed) I think at War and Peace a few years ago, if I remember correctly, and that was from a Land Rover if I remember....

Are you referring to the war and peace arena incident 2008 when a 12 yr old boy was hurt in a Saladin armoured car.

I am there all 3 days with the Daf.

Just checked in the British Mil book 1981 and it states Unladen 1.691 tonne, Laden 3.734 tonne. That's for the Ruby Owen 2 tonne Mk2 trailer. Towed by 3-4 tonne GS trucks.

I think they can carry 2 ton

Myself and Lee will be supporting James again this year. Had a great time last year and atmosphere was good. See you on Friday.

Degsy having a dig at a Mod again, nothing new there.

I will post a video up once I get round to uploading it. I think there was a total of 19 vehicles on the last run on Sunday. Fantastic display.

Mock Spitfire (I think) on the back of a trailer on the M40 around Junction 12 heading south this afternoon. Cockpit, fuselage, wings were all on the trailer. Also eight Series 1 and 2 Land Rovers heading in the same direction. There must have been a show somewhere around the Midlands where they had all been at.

Banbury steam rally just off the M40, Landrovers and plenty off military vehicles here but no Spitfire.

Wicksteed at War

Hi Tim,

Use what pics you want. I have a few more I will upload later.

Was Steve Edwards the MVT Safety Officer at Wickstead at War.

If so I think he needs to up his game a bit, having tracked vehicles on a slope with no chocks almost ended in disaster. Lesson there for everyone, chock your wheels on hills.

And in my opinion the public was way to close to the slip way as vehicles entered the water, area should have been roped off earlier to stop public getting so close.

It was still a great show and I look forward to next years.

Not sure if you are having a little dig at me, as we had originally booked Peter but for one reason or another we changed acts. But glad to hear he performed well.

No dig Paul, was not aware you had booked him and changed acts.

Shame I never knew you was coming Paul, would have been great to meet up. Did you stay for the evening entertainment, the big band and Paul Wayre was great, best evening I have had all year.

If your looking for a fantastic entertainer book Pete Wayre, fantastic singer, just see him at Wickstead at War, outstanding

Just arrived on site after a 112 mile journey, looking good so far. Now to find a beer.
