Jack Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Remembrance Day..... What is everyone doing for it? If you are at a loose end then you are more than welcome to join us down here in Dorset as many of us are attending commemorations in Poole park. I will get all the info up on here but I do know that there will be many vehicles in attendance and then another 'famous' road run which I think travels through Poole.........and rumour has it that there will a pub stop, or is that a pit stop? :? In theory, project HMVF will be there all done and a fresh coat of paint! Let me know if you need any more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Meet in Albion Close, Parkstone at 0900, leave at 0930 in convoy for Poole Park. The park is shut to the public at this time, so only way in, is in convoy with the right pass. As we arrive we will be placed in our positions by the council organiser. After the service we will convoy onto Poole Quay for the memorial for the Navy on Fishermans dock. Then back to the meeting point at Newtown Business Park. If you need to know anything else then please do let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoshi Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Jack I'd love to, but where will me be by then? I may have to make alternate arrangements as I'm expecting to bring 2 or 3 British Commandos with me if things work out. So unless you have a barn or something I don't think it’s a goer, as much as I'd like to. Oddball will be looking for a pit too, and he's 50 miles further on than me, and if Bigredone checks the details, well who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest matt Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi Jack, I'll have to pull my finger out and post it then!! BTW it's an M1,not an M1A1.this is the fixed stock and the M1A1 has the folding stock for the Airborne,although they used both.the M1 Carbine is correct for truck drivers,support troops,RTO's etc. Genuine M1A1's fetch big money.

Jack Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Karoshi. The GMC is already to go, may need to bring some wet weather gear as it looks like it could be wet. Think we may be lucking enough to have 3 Halftracks and 4 Jimmies to start with and about 15-20 MV's in total. I will bring the camera!
