Well we took a day trip to Military Odyssey on Sunday and the first thing that struck us was how empty the show was to previous years.
In particular, many displays were extremely spread out and this only degraded the quality of the display. On the (long) walk to the arena was a Civil War re-enactment group who had the whole field to themselves and not enough of their excellent display to fill it. Military vehicle numbers were also down and this contributed to a large number of spaces, and it was possibly due to this that the number of stalls had dropped, and there were few, if any, selling MV spares.
However, the quality of the battles was, in general, excellent and the use of aircraft added to this effect. The running commentary was also helpful in understanding what was going on. One thing I can't understand is, how does a German force, that outnumbered the Allied Force 3:1, with tanks, anti tank guns, heavy machine gun emplacements and armoured cars, lose to a small mechanised force of jeeps and GMCs :dunno:
On to the pictures :-D

Thanks for looking ;-)
