The displays themselves were split in to the following groups

light vehicles :- jeeps,dodges,15 cwt

medium :- 3 tonners

heavy : 2 miles per gallon jobbies

re-enactment

you could only enter or leave the display area under escort at the prescribed time agreed with the marshalls, and this could be the reason that a lot of vehicles never left the camping area. As the camp area was set a fair distance away the gen.public did not get to see these vehicles

anyways on with the pictures

Hi Jack,

i went, and i enjoyed it even though i think there are a few problems the organisers may have to sort out.

But me i`ll love to go again. Pictures to follow.

Ashley

Hey Guys,

dont get me wrong... i intend to drive to most shows but there are one or two i would like to attend further afield. This is when i would use the trailer, and of course when talking over a suspected problem some guys who are good enough to help usually prefer to have the vehicle on thier `own turf` so`s to speak.

Ashley

Hi jack you can count me in.

Ashley

Hi all,

for the longer journey`s i have now acquired a trailer to put the jeep on.

Do any of you guys have expirience in the best way to strap one down, the pintle hook is an obvious place but i am more concerned with the front of the vehicle.

Any ,advice, tips ??????

Ashley

Hi all,

i know this clashes with Kemble, but who here are attending Tankfest this year.

Are you a vehicle exhibitor or part of the living history groups ??? the jeep and i have just just waiting for conformation.

Ashley

Hi all,

it was (and i belive still is ) very common for military gear to be buried on ite rather than transport it back home.

Ford i belive offered to make military vehicles for the U.S. and its allies stating that if it was sent overseas it should not return home (hence the number of U.S. vehicles in Europe after the war (he didn`t want the post war market to be flooded with secondhand vehicles when he could produce new !!!)

I was on site in Roberts barracke in Osnabruck (Germany) when foundations being dug they unearthed all sorts of WW2 field gear,helmets, guns, etc in the early seventies.

I also heared that after the first Iraq war the americans buried 1200 tanks rather than go through the hassle than transporting them home.

These activities did happen but how frequently who can tell :roll: :roll:
