Battlegroup North returns again on the weekend of 8-10th of May for a tenth brilliant show.

There is a packed programme of events for the weekend that will include;

Re enactors dioramas and displays of both the Allied and the Dark Side ! .

One of the largest gathering of Military Vehicles in the north of England from WW1 to present day .

A great traders area that always seems to turn up a gem or two.

Weather permitting there is the BBMF Lancaster on the Saturday and Dakota on the Sunday, always a brilliant sight but even more so at Elvington as they just seem to be that bit lower there.

A vehicle convoy run out on the Saturday afternoon.

This is always a great chance to blag a ride out in one of a variety of military vehicles if you ask the owners nicely, from a Corgi to a newly restored Sherman the convoy will certainly have something to catch everyones eye.

There is a free dance on the Saturday for all exhibitors in the NAAFI with DJ Slugger and the Hotsie Totsies playing on Saturday eve and then again on Sunday lunchtime.

The Lagonda car club will be visiting Saturday with over 10 pre war Lagondas.

Table top war gaming in the hanger.

And of course the planes and buildings of Yorkshire Air Museum so enjoy.

The organisers still have some space left now they have expanded out (the runway is 3000 metres !! :lol: ) for any groups or vehicle owners who want to display so drop them a line on the link below if you fancy popping along for the weekend.

The link below has pics and info from previous years so you can see what you might have missed !

[quote KPU121265 = we can guarantee not to be able to ‘fix’ things that we do not know about - so please tell us.

Think you were out in that sun too long Ken ! lol

What a fantastic weekend.

This is one brilliant show that is going to go from strength to strength.

Everyone involved obviously gave it 100% effort and it really showed, organisers and re enactors/vehicle owners alike.

Well done guys(and gals)

Roll on next year.

P.S. Was it a bit dry this year ?

Quote; too big for the spaces available there. A shame but next year if I have a Jeep I will attend.

You can get a half track down the main street. We've done it !

I got home at 7pm, shattered and with 845 photos and videos to sort through for the show site.

Only 845 pictures............................. I really dont know what we are paying you for.............. oh we dont !!! lol

I really should register my bike , nothing like being at the last minute !

More Ozzy Osbourne !

Tight around the shoulders ?

You been working out John ? LOL

I do hope you were wearing your smart new officers pants ?

At least my mother used to like me........................ I think !

Good looking thing eh ?

And the bike !

Not had a chance to post on here till now but I just had to say a big thanks to the organisers for putting on again such a fantastic weekend.

It just seems to get better and better and its a permanent date on our calendar now.

Fantastic fly past and where else can you get to do laps of a race circuit on a vintage bike ,see great vehicles,fire guns and meet great people!

Roll on next year guys, well done.

mmmmmm so its not one of them then!

Suppose it would fit in the spare wheel well but 1.3 gallons isn't going to get a lorry far !

Oh well it looks nice in the garage if nothing else .

Can any one here tell me if this is the fuel can for a drop container for the corgi/wellbike at all ?

It fits in a canister ok so would make sense .

assuming there is a next year,

Regards

Ken

You aren't getting out of it that easily.

Same weekend ? After all lightning doesn't strike twice !!!!!!

What a weekend, Debbie,Ken and Stu, despite having to face the wrath of the great British weather you pulled off a great show.

Where else can you get to paddle in liquid mud whilst man handling field guns, whitness the mud mad Gordons dancing with Panzer crews and hail a GMC with pyjama clad driver at midnight ?

Next years show is going to have to go some to match this year!

Well done to all those who put in so much effort.

Roll on next year.

P.S. Stu, twinkle toes, where did that come from? You were like John Travolta !

You're Re waxing Lynne ???

See you there.

We will book you in for next year then Mike, be nice to see more tracked stuff.

Nice photos :thumbsup:

 

Was the 432 that appears in a couple of them there both days?

 

I was there on the Sunday and don't recall seeing it.

 

 

 

The 432 left on saturday Mike, a bit worrying as it came out of the site at the rear of the convoy where I was last outrider and it turned left at the junction where everyone else had gone right !!!
