and just be grateful you weren't rushing to get to work as it crawled past for nearly 10mins

Was beginning to think video was on a loop

Hi Pete, Great to know you will be back, I did enjoy your display but even though I was ready for it still made me jump. cheers Paul

I posted some info in 2009 here: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?12644-Swiss-20mm-info-needed

Interesting but not convinced its worth £4K, a Radio Body or GS makes for a more practical camper for shows.

Again I'm pleased to confirm that following the success of last year's show with 280 military vehicles & 200+ re-enactors its on again for 2011. I would like to invite those who attended last year and any other vehicle owners to what will be the Midlands largest military vehicle event so please either register or visit if you can. The camp continues to grow... New for 2011: - Nissen No. 8 recently went up - Alan Williams Turret arriving soon - New Armoury - 1940's bedroom If you would like to see the last show report click here: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?19419-Wartime-in-the-Vale or http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=wartime ... N08#page=0 Also happy to hear any suggestions on how to further improve show. MVT members and non-members welcome. Location: Ashdown Farm, Badsey, Nr. Evesham, Worcs, WR11 7PA (just off A46) For more info, please visit www.ashdowncamp.webs.com Please do call me if any queries, Paul on: 0779 159 1528 Wartime Vale 2011.pdf Wartime Vehicles form.pdf

Hi, I'm also guessing its the quarry at Avon Dassett. Once date sorted I will gladly circulate to MVT members of the South Midlands area. cheers Paul

Hello Marcus & welcome, Some great toys there, so where in the south mids are you? I'm in Leamington. cheers Paul

Hello Sarah, thanks for your call earlier, glad you made it here. Best o luck Paul

Hi Tim, When looking at cars I find the reviews by Honest John quite helpful, the link below is for the Qashqai so alot of the comments will apply to the +2 http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/nissan/nissan-qashqai

My K9 was sold off in 1983 so that might be an indicator. Don't know dates for SAS but here's a pic, caption was "Charlie at work in the Northern Oman dessert" from the book One Mans's SAS by Lofty Large. Some more info on a k9 site I pulled together, see signature. cheers Paul

This one on milweb looks interesting http://www.milweb.net/webverts/49504/

Thanks, really enjoyed watching that, so I recommend to others when you've got a spare 11.5 mins do watch it. Chuckled at Lenno's line when he says "if you're in an accident you're first on the scene"

Very imposing that Simba & yes the only one in UK & one of my favourites. It was a great atmosphere around the camp & the MP's had fun dragging mis-behaving Mops into the Cooler. Also thought 'Monty' looked good in the Dingo.

Hi Guys, Thanks for posting those pics, some good ones there. I hope to post some later once I find my camera. A great weekend, with many more vehicles & public than last year, but I'm sure that as it was so hot it probably put a few off attending & of course it was quieter on the Sunday due to the footie. Really impressed with some of the dioramas like Yanks, Land Army and our local boys 2nd Bat. Glosters with their pub, and good to meet some fellow HMVF'ers.

tis just off A46 follow AA signs. Will possibly be about 340mv's but you will find that Bedford will either be parked in camp compound or just outside.

on the doorstep then... Do please come to show this weekend at Badsey and say hello. You will see Bob the owner of site has just restored a Bedford OY so you will be able to take a look. cheers Paul

Yes Bob & I have had the same, sounds plausible but you just don't know what slant they are looking for, will give wide berth me thinks.

Hello & welcome, Looks more like a Bedford OY. Where abouts in the mids are you from? cheers Paul

Hello Jules, that paperwork is in effect your pass, as you quote the number/s upon arrival in exchange for a display number. cheers P

Just in case those attending have not received my email ref the BAR; Hello Folks, On behalf of the South Midlands Area of the MVT, we are all really looking forward to receiving you at our camp and with the good local weather forcast it should be a cracker. The number of vehicle entries continues to rise, with over 370 due to attend and about 330 of those are military and of course we have even more re-enactors supporting this event. We also have appx 50 traders selling a mix of militaria, books, clothing, food (Palace Cuisine for breads pasties & pies), insignia, tools, surplus, sweets, models, toys, blank ammunition (Paul Heddell) and if you need any leather work then Fred can do it over the weekend. Now for some disappointing news, the Bar provider has unfortunately messed up and is without a licence to sell alcohol over the weekend, I won't repeat the exchanges we have had but we are all a little frustrated. He will be selling soft drinks but if you want alcohol then you will have to bring your own and you will be allowed to consume it at our private party for all entrants during the evening in the marquee, so I'm hoping I've given you enough notice to add to your supplies. Or you can buy from Morrisons, just two roundabouts South of the show just off A46. So we are really sorry for this oversight, but looking on the bright side at least it will save you some money and there won't be too much of a queue at the bar unless you are behind me waiting to poke the someone in the eye! Can Group leaders please let the rest of their members know. Updated listing of whats on and site layout are on our website. See you all soon. Kind Regards Paul

Smashing, really pleased it went well, some great pics, which I could have been there.

Hello, as its in our patch (South Mids MVT) I will gladly circulate to our members. +ask Diesel Demon with 432. When my children were little we used to have season ticket, its a great place with all the animals they can touch, Guniea pig town was a favourite. cheers Paul

Camping for MV's is mainly flat with a slight slope up to where the re-enactors are, so you'll be ok, cheers P

I would still start with a Word doc, as its a good way of managing/holding the imported images then convert to pdf. There's no shortcut.
