BIGREDONE

I did email but nothing has come back as yet....sorry did try:cry:

I did ask for info from the organisers for another HMVF member but quick as a flash nothing. I think I heard at Overlord that some of your SOE members are planning on bringing their MV's down anyway. Please see the other thread on this event as Andy Jones is the man to see about booking in, sorry unsure of his user name on here. Paul

Try these, I know they had some hanging up in their shop, dont know how much. Paul Front Line 12 Bargate Street Southampton Hampshire SO14 2DA Telephone: 02380 231321 Fax: 02380 365232

Jack, To my knowledge no, but will ask them when im up there with the Jeep on Friday for filming. Dont know what they are filming but it will be a live feed, last time it was for "the one show" re Slapton sands. Have a great time in France. Paul

Cracking photo's Simon, you must come to more events! Thats me with my back to you on the Mortar. How does one purchase copies of your pictures? I see your only up the road, pay us a visit at the D-Day museum next Saturday the 6th....oh and bring your camera! Paul

Just emailed them to see what the crack is. I will be at the D-Day museum with my beach landing display, but hopefully I will be able to come over to the common for a look around at some point. See you there Paul

Just got back form the Overlord show and I must say it was one of the best ive attended for a long time. Great mixture of vehicles, classic cars and re enactment displays. I even managed to pick up a few bargains as well from the many military traders there. Simon do you have any shots of the battle in the arena? as I was on the mortar crew. Well done to the organisers. Paul

All, This is a mail I received from an events organiser I have dealing with, please see below and if any of you are interested I will forward on your contact details. Paul Dear all, I appreciate that many of you will already be committed to an event on 6 June either here or in Normandy, but I am writing to ask that if not, if you might be available for a Royal British Legion major public event in Portsmouth to celebrate the 65th anniversary of D-Day. The event is part of a larger campaign called 'D-Day 65' which includes ceremonial activities over in Normandy, a major fundraising initiative through direct marketing and digital activity focusing on a specially developed D-Day 65 microsite. The event in Portsmouth is designed to have a celebratory/party feel and to appeal to young people and young families. They are planning a wide range of activities including a display of vintage vehicles/aircraft, a marines assault course, picnic, 1940's music/entertainment (and fairground- well, nobody's perfect). The overall aim of the event is to reinforce the Legion's role as 'the custodian of remembrance' and to raise awareness and understanding of the Legion's vital role in providing support to thousands of current and ex servicemen and women and their dependents. They also hope to raise funds at the event through a range of channels and to attract a crowd of 10-20,000 people. The event will be promoted through local and regional advertising, national PR, regional mailings and general marketing materials eg. Leaflets, banners etc. The RBL would be keen to attract Home Front/allied military groups or individuals in period kit to give the feel of the 1940’s throughout the event (currently scheduled to be 2 – 6pm although it may be shorter). Any props/displays would no doubt be very welcome. They could also bring with them features from that era etc as well. They don't need musical perforners as they are already in hand. Its probably that EventPlan wouldn't need to be present, although we'd organise those 40s participants we'd arrange, but no firm decisions have been made on this yet. There is a modest budget so expenses/fees are payable. Ideally we'd like to have around 50 "40s people" take part. I hope that this is enough information to grab your attention and ask you to let me know if this would interest you/your members. I look forward to hearing from you asap (even if it’s a no) as our client is enthusiastic about pushing to push ahead with organising the event.

Looks familiar...... Establishment is the land based test site formally know as ARE, ASWE( Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment) now QinetiQ and a few other names in between......
