Its still at the appeal stage which can take months, so I've sent an email asking for an up date & will post here if any news.

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed drooling over the pics & craftsmanship, Happy Landings, Paul

My friend has a Lightweight, Pig & an Austin K9

Any joy in your search? as a chap with 3 vehicles might also be interested.

cheers Paul

I have seen it running at the Land Rover show at Gaydon, but prefer the video of the Pinzgauer:

Thanks CW, we do have some funding but thats for some of the running costs so unable to pay for fuel, unless your Champ is uparmoured!

But you know its worth attending, look forward to seeing you.

One of our members has owned this Anti-aircarft gun for several years but has been unable to find any info, so have any of you come across one like it or can you point us in the right direction to any publications?

Very well engineered Swiss Hispano Suiza Type 404 20mm canon

60 Round Drum

Rate of fire: 600-700 per minute

Range: 5500m

Did find some references to the aircraft version but not this trailer one

Thanks

Paul

Turned out to be a great warm up for our June show and we were so lucky with the weather. My daughter and her friend really enjoyed a ride in the Samaritan so thanks to Graham for that. And the North Staffs as usual put on a great diorama.

I even donned my new uniform but it did itch, so don't laugh.

I have to admit to cheating here:

I managed to sort myself out with a uniform and was pleased to buy this sign for £10 for our camp.

Thought the place went very quiet after lunch.

Hello Brian and welcome to the forum, glad you made it here.

cheers

Did you know that every time your car goes past a speed camera, even 1mph over the specified limit, it is registered and put on a database?

You only get a ticket if you are way over the limit or, (this is the bit that I didn't know) if you receive over 10 near misses, you will be classed as a serial offender and get a ticket the next time you go just over the limit. This is why you hear of people being done for 34mph in a 30mph zone, when others doing 39 escape. You can check what has been registered against your vehicle at the following web address:

If you need some radio traffic for your display then just pm me with your email addy, cheers P

I had a chuckle on hearing about the village of Sh1tterton in Dorset, quite often when residents give their address on the phone people hang up thinking its a prank call.

Also pleased to announce that Kitten Von Mew, a 1940's pin up / Burlesque dancer will be performing

I have a CD that I could burn a copy of, lasts about an hour with made up selections of Military Radio traffic with American, English, German, Japanese & Russian versions, or I could email the files, cheers Paul

Nope, not visible, just a photobucket box

even more embarrassing now as the Veterans have turned round and rejected the money...

Hello Peter and welcome,

We did chat briefly at Toddington in 2007.

Perhaps you could create a new thread for your Alfa as its so rare I'm sure others would be interested, or at least bring it up the road to Evesham at Easter.

I got a request for vehicles the other day for Bishops Cleeve and some of our members will be going:

There is a note on the reenacting forum to say that the organiser involved has left and that the event has been cancelled.

Bob has also purchased these railway carriages which look period. Possibly 1940's or earlier, but we think they were used for transporting cattle.

Salvaged from Long Masrton airfield we intend to use use them for housing displays, one will be used for the Morrison shelter display creating a dinning room environment with the other available to be used by a re-enactment group.

But as you can see they do need a fair amount of time & money spent on them.
