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.

Its usually a good turnout, I will be there too with 1/2 ton Dodge panel van

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!

A beauty!

I assume that's the one that previously carried Red Bull colours?

I'm under the flight path for Waddington, had a C17 fly over today, usually see a few things that are due to be at their display appear in the weeks leading up to the airshow.

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!

Thanks to all who we met over the weekend at our camp.

Plan to get there at 1300hrs tomorrow!

 

Safe journey and all that!

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!!!

Will do mate! Lol

 

Yeah all welcome in the combined ops camp.

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!

well hopefully you are easy to spot as we are supposed to be right next to you...

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

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:

I hope to see a few fellow Dorset MVT members as well!!!

Another update today.....118TH Training Weekend in the Purbecks :nut:

Hello chaps,

Joined the forum quite a while back but only just had anything to say. I collected a Leyland DAF DROPS from Dave Crouch a few weeks back. Really pleased with it so far. Seems I got a free desert with it as well. The places that sand gets!

I have a very flimsy excuse for owning the vehicle which the missus has swallowed so far but in reality I want it to be the foundation of a collection.

Would be interested to know about anybody living around the Yeovil area whos as mad as me lol.

 

Oh I forgot. If anybody has a manual for my vehicle. Please contact me.

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

.

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).
