Ive just picked up on this thread, and very interesting too. I agree that while HMVF brings everyone under the same interests in an ideal world if you were to represent it under a historical ideal you would have to remain true to that, ie Normandy build up. I think it would be a good compromise to maybe do a date for post WW2 vehicles maybe on the day after if opinion was such. But there are a lot of shows and a lot of dates in the calendar for people to go to events. I for one wouldnt go to a shindig of WW2 vehicles if I only had an interest in post WW2, in fact I would welcome anything extra in the calendar, especially in this neck of the woods! To cut a long post short, if you are doing something on a historical note you should remain true to that. As a previous comment stated, you wouldnt go to a re-enactment of roman legionnaries only to have them taken out by snipers. Just my thoughts...
