happydayz123 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 There's now 132 vehicles booked in to the Ponderosa war weekend along with 16 reenactment groups so far www.ponderosa-centre.co.uk many thanks to all the vehicle owner's & reenactment groups that have booked in. The BBMF flypast is now confirmed,which is great news,the re-enactment battle will be i believe the biggest ever held in the North of England with firing 25lb field gun's & ww2 tanks taking part in the battle.A mock up bombed out town will be built as part of the battle making it alot more realistic more on that later.The battles will be held on both day's.All vehicles must book in,there's entertainment through out the day & night.So if you would like a application form pm me with your name & full address or email me at stuart.wright@hotmail.co.uk cheer's Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happydayz123 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Ken, I'm looking forward to seeing your M14 halftrack at the show Ken, along with my M16 should be a rare sight seeing both the international & white quad mounted halftracks together.Your new stude US6 look's great, looking forward to seeing that in the flesh on it's fist outing.All your help is much appreciated mate. cheer's stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpu121265 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Don't be leaving the M3 out of the half track line up or she will no doubt break down in the middle of the arena! Having an M16 and M14 side by side will be pretty unique i think, although yours has more guns than mine - but i'll make the difference up with the Polsten. The Studebaker will be there, possibly still 'in the rough' but she will be there, we might even manage the D2 for a maiden outing as well. The M5 generator in the Ben Hur will be test run at Howarth so all being well we should have that and the M10 operational this year. The Diamond T regulator is at last on it's way back and the WC62 appears to have cheered up so preparations are going well. I suspect we will also have a huge pile of period ammunition crates to hide behind. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
