Hello everyone

[Noel]

My name is Noel Burgess. I don't own any military vehicle and, sadly, dont ever expect to do so. I am mostly intersted in WW2 era softskin vehicles, particularly allied. This interest stems from building Airfix kits in youth and wanting to find out more about them.

I live in Redcar on the north east coast of england. Recently Redcar was used as a filmset representing the Dunkirk evacuation for scenes from the forthcoming film "Atonement - more of this in your photos thread.

Finally can I say how much I admire those of you who restore and run Military Vehicles of all ages

Hi Noel

Welcome to this here forum, you never know one day you might own a bigger model than previous ones :-D

 

Enjoy and post some pics of your models if possible

[Degsy]

Glad to join Mark in welcoming youto the Forum, enjoyed seeing thepics you posted and look forward to seeing the film. With your obvious interest in MV's could I venture to suggest that you join the Military Vehicle Trust, you don't have to own a vehicle to join and I amsure you would find it worth while and am also sure you would recieve a warm welcome at a meeting of your local area group.

I'll second what Degsy says - and add to it that if there's not (and there usually is!) a vacancy for a vehicle commander when a group goes out for a run passengers are always welcome - vehicle type permitting!!! :-)

Yes thats true what Bernie says Noel, never say never, I always said one will do and now we are up to 3.

 

As Degsy said, give Jon Kerr a call and find out when their next meeting is, you will be welcomed I am sure as they are a good bunch of folk.

Next Sunday there is a meet at the Sunderland Aircraft Museum that they are attending.

 

Cheers
