Jessie The Jeep Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) I just got back 15 minutes ago. Fantastic weekend, completely knackered, but good to meet some fellow HMVF'ers. I've got 300+ photos to sort through for the show website, but I'll dig out a few for here too over the next day or so.

Jessie The Jeep Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Our display changed around a little through the weekend, but here's a snap from first thing this morning. I used my fantastic negotiating skills to get us the spot beside the C-47. http://www.sacarr.co.uk/mymvs/events/2010/elvington2.jpg Edited September 5, 2020 by Jessie The Jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lardrover Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) One heck of a turn out. Looks like a brilliant show. Interested to see the landy in the Berlin urban camouflage. I have only seen that on MBT's before. Certainly looks a bit different. Very eye catching. Some info about it here: http://www.emlra.org/articles/berlin_brigade.htm Hope it's of interest. Our very own Clive is responsible for setting me off in the right direction for researching that one, he provided the name of the man responsible, I tracked him down and he was kind enough to talk to me about it. All the best Edited May 9, 2010 by Lardrover finger trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lardrover Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 is that a Rhodesian Landrover I see there? nice pics Mark oops, just spotted the South African flag!!!!!!!!!! Still nice though It is, I think he's on here, certainly on EMLRA forum. Interesting water and fuel tank arrangement. We shared a brew on the runway at Leuchars, the way you do...

berna2vm Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 It was a good show this year, much better than last years. The catering is a little inadequate though. Many thanks to the MVT for organising such a great event... Nice to meet Jessie and Bodge and put faces to names :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Daymond Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) nice pics guys, was a good week end, no complaints at all. The Crossley must be turbo charged, it was leading from the front on the road run, I was at the back and we were going at a fair pace. The Crossley won the best in show BTW. Did anyone get a pics of us all coming through the woods at the former airbase at Riccall? - sorry if you were the cameraman I covered in dust!

mike65 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Nice pictures of what looked to be a really good show. I like the museum anyway so a fwe MVs thrown in can only help. Maybe one to put on the list for next year. Mike Notes to self Sdo not agree to go up to London for drinks with the wife without checking dates. Hopefully I will not have to plant another hedge next year either. Must get Land Rover working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pearson Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 great show, was a bit cold on the night though, shame i did not meat any fellow HMVF,ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 ....bit cold on the night though,... You obviously didn't drink enough! I was lovely and warm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iannima Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 As a useless point of information, the amphibious Jeep is not what it looks like, i.e. a Ford GPA. it is instead a VERY rare Gaz 46. Only fifteen are known to exist in private hands, another one of which in Lancashire with my friends . I had heard of this one, which I understand has been recently acquired from Poland, but until this weekend I had not seen it yet. My friends' Gaz 46 instead was at Elvington last year. I just hope they are going to get rid of the pink camo canvas and seats. Mechanically it is identical to my own Gaz 69A ... except of course for the propeller shaft etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevpol Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) advance warning!!!! We may be coming up next year, fiancee says that she is quite willing (read virtually insisting!!!) to go to a weekend show for our honeymoon!!!! As I proposed to her in York, I thought that it would be appropriat to attend this show next year. We have decided to get married on a weekday (friday) and this show would fit the bill perfictly!!! (yellow landy with "just married and balloons!!!) All the best Mark Edited May 11, 2010 by chevpol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm sure the museum must have a chaple of some kind. You could do the deed there!! Failing that, on board one of their planes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
