Land rover would be your best bet.

Plenty out there and a good learning curve.

Went to see it on monday, brilliant!

I used wickes own brand this year and it was brilliant.

When buying you need to look out for NON water based stuff.

I'd live there!!!

I need to colour/dye/paint some canvas, did it work ?

Yes, but if I was to do it againe I would use a branded fencepaint, ronseal for example.

Took about 5 coats as asda fence paint was very very transparent.

I use ordinary black gloss paint, exteriour type from b&Q/homebase/wickes, etc etc.

One click of a button & he could of got a reminder sent to him :undecided: reminder now sent to him, tell him to check his emails.

Get a call nearly every day on the bus radio about pick pockets working the buses.

I remember watching an interview with ranalph finnes, he summed it up quite nicely when asked what vehcile he would always take of roading, his relpy?

"always, absolutley a land rover".

The victory show, is, IMO, the best re enacting/living history show in the UK.

The marshalls knocked them down, I think they knew what would happen...

Had a brilliant day!

Weather was scorching hot and ive burnt my head. See lee and co and pete and kim.

Not many stalls, but, it was not an MV show, so only to be expected.

Some excellent aircraft on display and flying.

The herc landed and nearly blew us away!

Some random piccys;

These two took off from the aifield=brilliant!!

Found this in the undergrowth;

Brilliant brilliant show, just a shame they stopped post war mv's going....

I spent the weekend at my mums, which is about 10 miles from the airshow and we saw the vulcan and the BBMF.

The did an improptu flypast heading towards the isle of wight.

We stayed at the campsite "Le Robinson", situated at Coleville sur Mere, http://www.campinglerobinson.com/campsite-calvados-france.html, in 2009. Nice camping with pool and all the usual amenities. Very close to the beach.

Thinking of doing france next year, and ive been looking at this site, good to know its OK.

I did not go due to a dis agreement with the previous organisers, much along the same lines as others have said.

It seems the new organisers are doing the right things, and 99% of the comments I have read on MO have been positive.

I reckon the new organisers really have to push the show for next year, let people know there are new organisers and they are listening.

I do agree though, MO is a living history show and not a MV show so can understand thier reluctance to let in to many jeeps/land rovers. Would be nice to see them allow all mv's, after all, the site is huge, from what I remember.

Must admit, I used to really enjoy MO, liked the site/stalls/living history and it had the best beer tent ive ever been in at a show.

I'm worried and confused all the time.................................

Ooooooo, I do like a nice toilet..................

Lucky escape there, glad everyones OK.

When I was on the plains tour a few years ago, we met up with some soldiers that had just returned from iraq. One of them told me that we gave our stirlings to the iraqi's, and he had trained them up how to use them.

I also saw a video on youtube of the americans firing a stirling on a range in iraq.

Good job that man!

Looks like a good day out, easy to get to as well;http://www.eppingforestdc.gov.uk/index.php/out-and-about/our-attractions/north-weald-airfield/event-test/details/15-community-day-norwegian-wings-over-north-weald
