    Usually quite a few, last time I went (2 years ago?) there were a couple of Shermans, a Chaffee, PzIII & Sdkfz 222replicas, a couple of Carriers, M3 & M16 half-tracks & an OT810/Sdkfz251.

    I had to pay these two to clear off, they were chasing my customers away!;)

    Someone's Jeep, with someone driving.

    Turntable with ladder not fully extended. The wife was diappointed, that they didn't use the hose. Today's schoolday experience, was finding out where the phrase "To show a clean pair of heels" came from, if you couldn't see the bloke's heels, don't extend/retract the ladder, otherwise he'd be toeless!

    The second fire appliance.

    Since it's only about 10 miles from me, self & the wife popped over for a couple of hours.

    I'll put some photos up eventually.

    Compact show, an elected array of vehicles, as soon as you walk in through the entrance (£5 a head, free parking), there was an M4 HST, with a Bren Carrier next to it (Brake problems, so it didn't go into the ring). Must've been 6 or so Jeeps around the place, a big REO and 2 or 3 other bib trucks, a neat Morris 15cwt and a Bofors 40mm.

    Also a number of cars, from WW2 vintage, up to the "My dad/grandad had one of those" 50's & 60's stuff. Two fire engines, old Austins, both in a fetching pale grey, one a van, the other a turntable.

    Plenty of period dressers, both uniformed (Didn't stop for the battle, but I pity the German side, only saw one & he must've been in the Volksturm!) and in civvies.

    A couple of passes were made by one of the BBMF's Spitfires, in a very fetching, all-over silver, scheme.

    A good mix of stalls, picked up a few books for holiday reading, if you were after items of uniform and the like (Wife wouldn't let me buy a Lugercry.gif or general rammle, you'd probably find it. Entertainment laid on, beer tent & food, a bit of a play area for kids (roundabout & little jeep things).

    Dance on tonight apparently.

    So, enough to give us locals an afternoon's entertainment, good value for a fiver.
