What plans are there for marking the 75th anniversary of VE Day over the Special Bank Holiday next year. ? Whats the main event for vehicles ?

The Location is Pinner

Would be good to have a Herts meet up. We use to have a Herts Poppy run though Rickmansworth in November. Great fun, raised quite a bit for the Poppy appeal. Also use to meet at lincolnsfield, Watford 1940's house, but I believe they are not having a show this year. Barry Watford Bren carrier

I received today in the post information from the British Legion on how they plan to mark VE70 this year. It includes details of what they call " Salute a generation and the spirit of 1945" in central London. Anybody been approach to take some vehicles yet ? Anybody know about this major event on the 10th May. ? Regards Barry

Anybody own or know of a large tank in the Bristol / South Wales area?. Needed for film / TV. This is NOT a freebie... Need something like a Chieften or similair.. Regards Barry

This is a new event I live just a 1/4 mile away. Who's organising it? Barry Bren carrier

The picture of the Sherman turning at the lights. Look how close/loose the track is on the off side. Is this correct? Love the pictures of the carrier. Barry carrier owner

Jack and everybody involved THANK YOU What a fantastic day. Thank you Jack for all your hard work Thank you to the cookhouse. Thank you to all the outriders, you really have no idea what you guys mean to the drivers, and making the day. Hard job well done. Thank you to the Le Ward for pulling us out of the mud. Thank you to the video cameraman who managed to capture me getting it so wrong on the roundabout (Thank you to the Sherman driver behind for not hitting me) Ha ha !!! Thank you to all who took part. Barry and Bren gun carrier crew. P.S trying to make contact with some GI guys with a GMC ( I think) from Watford . Please PM me Barry

Big thank you to all in the cookhouse for looking after us !! The Bren Gun Carrier crew.

Mate Will really missed you on Saturday. Also the T16 that was promised didn't show. You missed a fantastic day. The drive went well I had a few problems with my carrier losing power ,so I was struggling to keep the revs up sometimes. This resulted in me doing a complete 360 on a roundabout in the middle of Dorcester, much to the amusement of many. Except the tank behind that had to brake hard. I am sure it will end up on you tube. How did you manage to throw the track? What happened? Catch up soon. Baz

Try driving a carrier !! It just fills up with water. !! nothing more funny than a carrier crew bailing out as they go along. Barry

They said it could't be done !! Well I have just spent a fantastic day in Hyde Park, London. with 6 of the nicest ferret owners that proved them wrong. In the early hours of Saturday morning 6 ferrets creeped into central London. As we gathered in Hyde Park at the Queens Diamond Jubilee festival. The organisers of the festival had arranged a Tattoo which we were to be part of in a purpose built arena. Anybody arriving early that morning looked on amazed as the 12 crew members walked around in circle's hand in hand as we rehearsed our performance on foot . Then quickly into the vehicles for one full scale rehearsal in the arena. Just before 1'oclock with the organisers reporting a full house of 50,000 people. The massed bands marched out into the purpose built arena. Followed by a motor cycle display team. Then from the bandstand the band of of the Household Division played the theme from Thunderbirds as the ferrets entered the arena. They were off to a well choreographed performance of circles, figure of eights, fans etc... after 8 minutes they lined up to gave a fake gun fire volley and left the arena with the last ferret flying the biggest union jack flag of all. The crowds loved it. Quickly, in the hot afternoon something to eat re-arm the pyro's and back out for a second performance. Again the crowds were amazed. Photos and pictures I will post later. The day was only achieved by the hard work and dedication of the Drivers, Commanders and Support crew. Names I will also list later but you know who you are. It was an honour to have been part of this special weekend, and real honour to have worked so closely to the vehicle crews who proved to be a credit to our country and to our hobby
