It was a small turn out at the Bournemouth Aviation Museum Emergency Services Day but a good day had by all. The Weather was good for the morning but showers PM dampened things a bit!!! I have included a few of the vehicles including the airports own "Fire 4" doing a display for us on the Taxi way.

We can not make it this year but last years show was excellent. A great veriety of vehicles and a fantastic calvcade down the Runway!!! You even get a vehicle plaque! Enjoy......

Good selection of vehicles, thanks for posting!!

I managed to photo this Harrier on the gate of RAF Wittering yesterday.:cheesy:

Great stuff mate we are all looking forwad to this one! I think we will have four Landrovers plus trailers with us.

Not sure we will get the Vixen but I will bring my Landrover!!!! :-D Hows all the planning going for the Plains?

We will be on sight from 08:30 so feel free to start arriving from then, show opens to the public at 10am!

On Saturday 11th June we are holding an Emergency Services Day at the Bournemouth Aviation Museum 10am-4pm. All Fire, Ambulance, Police vehicles welcome and Military so please just turn up on the day before 10am and you will gain free entry if displaying a vehicle. Food outlets available plus our collection of Aircraft and exhibits to explore lots to see and do just £4 to enter if you just are visiting the show! For more detials email stevetydeman@yahoo.co.uk or visit: www.aviation-museum.co.uk

Yes G-CVIX (ex Red Bull Scheme) based here in Bournemouth. A lovely Aircraft.

We will be taking vehicles down Fiday-Sunday if you can make it for a steam show it still has good Military section and plenty of bikes usually make it. PS The Cider tent is well worth a visit:cool2:

Welcome to the forum I like the bike night video!, Are you taking it to the Canford Arena show this month?

It is a great venue weather/petol cost has to be the issue here I think? My report/photos is on the 118th Blog under June Ops Report feel free to look/comment! http://118thsignalsregiment.blog.co.uk/ Thanks to all who we met over the weekend at our camp.

We got back this evening, good show enjoyed it as always weather might have caused lower numbers than usual though. Well done to South Hants MVT you always do a grand job despite the weather. I will have a bash at a report next week got a few photos to share!!!:-D

Sounds like it was a good show we might try this one next year, great photos and report Rambo!!!

Our small convoy leaves at 12 today should be on sight by 13:00 hope the wind isnt too strorng for building the camp! Glad I got that extra storm lashing for the 9x9!

We will keep an eye out for you ask at the gate for the 118th compound hopefully they will point you in the right direction!!! :cheesy:

See you there we will be in the main vehicle field (lots of 9x9s and Landrovers with a large ariel should be easy to spot). Cheers Steve

Next Thursday we will be setting off to Beaulieu in the New Forest for the Trucks and Troops show (National MVT Show) are there many members on the forum going? I understand the convoy on the Friday night to WWII sights may have up to 60 Vehicles should be well worth seeing! :nut: Details at: http://www.southhampshiremvt.org/ I hope to see a few fellow Dorset MVT members as well!!! Steve

Welcome to the forum Adam, Good luck with the Reo.....a lovely sound:cool2:

email darren@ahagb.co.uk or call 08445 780 780 Hope this helps Regards Steve

Another update today.....118TH Training Weekend in the Purbecks :nut: See: http://118thsignalsregiment.blog.co.uk/

Welcome to thr forum, Yeovilton Air Show is great to book in to not far for you! Might see you there!!!

Great Photos, a Museum on my to do list..... Favourite for me is the Dakota photo with Jeeps in front of it! :-D

You could promise her a ride on the train to Portsmouth, as there is a nice purpose built shopping outlet at gunwarf quay (old HMS VERNON for you history buffs). Then you could pop along to the Submarine museum. Or similar vein, southampton, she may go to ikea and you could go to the Solent aviation museum. Supermarine etc. Jeffrey Quill collection. Or Bieulieu motor car museum, and then Bucklers Hard for lunch at the pub, and a visit to the museum there. Bucklers hard is where Nelson's favourite ship the HMS AGAMEMNON was built. Sorry to say, but i would think twice about the Bournemouth aviation museum, it will take five minutes. . Although good value at £4 for Adults, panoramic view of the Airport from the Viewing Bus. Also as a Museum run completely by Volunteers your money is much needed in the continuing growth and will help to get the Phantom F4 that will hopefully be on its way soon. A friendly place for all the Family! We have worked hard to get it to its new home after the Airport kicked us out and run events throughout the year including (Saturday 1st October Military Vehicle Day).
