Only however if you undertaken initial qualification for Driver CPC

We are camping over the weekend so should have a good look round

The Laplander was a trials vehicle (SP reg number)

I have to say from where I was it looked very impressive as did the AMX13, and the sound incredible

It is DST Leconfield

Dont think its the MOD paying for refurb but the RCT association, I think a Stolly is also in line

Just back from Woodvale Good selection of vehicles A good turn out

Certainly does, as I say the camping is behind the vehicle display area

We are going as well, and have done for the past few years (Got to go really as I got conned into doing the commentary for the parade!!) What are you bringing Mike? Space is not usually a problem, civvy tents and caravans are behind the military tents on a large grassed area between the runways

More British pics please

Hear Hear!!! 20000 litres of DERV from Cheshire to Carlisle up the M6 is not in the same league as driving across a frozen lake (although if that was too dangerous it would never happen!)

Tyres can still be recut............................however I really dont think that Trac Grip can be recut

Thanks for the pictures I was there but didnt get up to see the military section, only saw what went round the ring (well I was the commentator!!) Didnt realise there was such a good selection!!!!!

All For those that arent doing anything D Day can I point you in the direction of this rally Near Chorley (J27 M6) All types of vehicles welcome Free Camping Friday to Sunday Good Beer Good Weather (booked) Great site and good atmosphere, something for everyone Please pm me for further details/entry form Thanks

This one is a Humber Car Light Reconnaissance 4x4 Humber Mk III

Made in Canada yes, but some were sent to the UK as CKD kits (completely knocked down) and assembled both by GM in Southampton and Bamber Bridge (Preston) and by Pearsons of Liverpool

I remember him only too well (I think!!!) Myself and a mate were left in charge of his toddlers at a rally at Nottingham 18 or so years ago The kids had chips and Ice cream me and my mate had Dixies finest Cripple Cock Must have got an earbashing when Memsahib returned but cant remember it !!!!!! The lorry did have a thatched roof and the Bedford was later changed for an MAN Definately painted green

Great stuff Thanks to you all

Am in the process of making a 1/35th AFV Club Centurion Anybody point me in the right direction of a good source and match for British Deep Bronze Green???

Not strictly a Military show but Woodvale rally has a lot going for it 85 military vehicles last year and hoping for 100 this year (one of these is a Huey helicopter flown in) Was worth a trip this year just to see a Chaffee and an AMX13 racing down the runway!!! Oh and plenty for the wife and kids as well

Was the GDSF and I would think in about 1985

I've used them as well..................can be "interesting" to deal with

Not on here but a regular attender at local steam shows, quite a keen collecter with tractors and an AEC Militant (short gun tractor version) convereted into a timber tractor Usually all attend the Heskin Steam Rally (Charnock Richard) First weekend in June

Nobody owning up then??????????????

Many happy Sundays spent in this yard looking for bits no health and safety then, you just had to hope that the chains holding the dogs didnt reach to where you where and that they were strong enough Have some piccies of an Bedford MW we dragged out of there, will have to look them out A veritable mecca of WW2 stuff from Austin K2 ATV's to an ex Billy Smarts Circus Mack LMSW and yes I can remember the Commers If only we had digital cameras in those days One very good story Joe's father (known as Bearskin I believe) was at a sale at Ruddington and was bidding and buying lot after lot. The auctioneer after a time suggested that it was about time there was some money on the table. He stood up walked to the front of the room, reached inside his ex army greatcoat and produced a wad of white five pound notes, slapped them on the rostrum and without saying a word walked back to his seat. Happy days
