Hawk Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I would sure like to but alas it's not possible, the driver has decided it's Trucks and Troops and as I said before sadly other commitments for Bank Holiday Monday, and I imagine many folks will have packed up and be leaving early on the Monday? Hope you all have a good show. Take lots of piccies..... Perhaps it's time the Overlord gang and the MVT sorted the dates out :-| maybe a show in July or August would be better for the South. It would also save a train fare to Kent to satisfy my MV needs..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I Have given up with T&T, I have been there for the last 3 years and it just hasnt got better, stalls are junk, its expensive for the public to get it, charge to get in to evening entertainment and now charging to camp in the back field. No chance I'm off and going back to Overlord. Its the MVT who tried to be cleaver so its them who need to change the dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done Trucks and Troops the last few years and decided to give it one more chance this year. If it's anything like last year then it will be Overlord next year!!

simonsfotos Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks to all for a great show. Now got 750 shots to go through from today so it will be a little while before I can get them up on my site. Special thanks to Richard Rixon and Colin Dickler for posing their Jimmys so dramatically on th edge of the dip at the end of the day. It made for some dramatic shots. Just one very quick edit here with more and better to come! This show is so laid back a lot of other organisers can learn a thing or two from the Overlord guys.

rosie Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks Simon, a lot of work does go into the show but we do pride ourselves on a relaxed atmosphere. It has been a great weekend and I watched the cubed one 'playing' in the arena this afternoon and he did look great! The air cadets with him had been on the paying in tent all weekend so thought they deserved a treat, they loved it!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked the pose, quite popular with the other photographers too so funny to see them all rushing into the arena to get "THE SHOT", anything to please the crowds.

fv1609 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Many thanks to the organisers. It's so easy to forget to say so at the time. The return journey was memorable. The reversing camera on the Pig took it upon itself to go into direct image rather than mirror image. This gave the impression that the car overtaking me on my right was doing so on the left. Not so good when I started reversing the Pig having overshot my turning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 What a fantastic weekend, great selection of vehicles there as always. should have some snaps taken from the 100ft ladder:nut::nut: (not mine, i only got to 80ft!). massive thanks to all those that put in the huge effort to make it happen, looking forward to next year already.

Maverick Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Just want to say a very big thank you to the organisers for making Overlord 2010 the best show I have attended in a long time. Your hard work and effort went a very long way. I haven't been for over three years now and it felt like I hadn't been away, a very friendly welcome by all the organisers. Special thanks to Gary (sorry don't know is surname, always on a bike or in navy whites in the arena) and Mark Harvey for there help with loading of the gun etc. Good to meet Rosie and the Cubed one. Great looking 105mm howitzer there Richard, I can see you have put a lot of work into it. I couldn't believe the amount of interest I had from veterans and other exhibitors about the Gun and truck, it was non stop all day. Spoke to a lot of the stall holders and they said they were very happy with the show. The amount of public on Sunday and Monday was outstanding, The arena events and battle re-enactment were fantastic, a really mix and something for the whole family.At this rate I think your going to need a bigger field for next year. Cant wait for 2011. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
