Jessie The Jeep Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Here's a few pictures from the Northallerton Wartime Weekend, their second event at the Allerton Court Hotel. Around 15 vehicles turned, four of which were from our MVT group. There were also a good number of dioramas portraying British, German and Russian troops. Ken was there with some of his Red Devils display and the Northern WW2 Association were there with their halftrack. The event was started by Frank Stone firing a mortar. Frank was, a POW billeted in the hut the 'Great Escape' tunnel started from. This was followed by a convoy into town by most of the vehicles in attendance. The BBMF Spitfire had an engine fault and so a Hurricane was sent instead. It was our first family camping trip with the Dodge, and it was a bit of a squeeze getting all our camping gear in, along with a pushchair, high chair and all the other toddler field equipment! We managed however, and had a pleasant weekend. The weather was kind, being thoughtful enough to just rain overnight. Lynne and the Dodge A rare shot of the three of us.

kpu121265 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 We provided a back drop for some of the wedding photographs for the wedding reception on the Sat evening as well.... It was a good do as far as we were concerned. The trip in to town on the Sat am was entertaining. It was market day so the place was rammed anyway. Heading up the convoy was the Mayor of Northallerton, who initially headed up the convoy in one of those hand powered disabled tricycle things - like a bicycle, but you power by turning a crank with your hands. Having caused mayhem getting up the high street, being overtaken eventually by everything in front of me (in the GMC), he promptly leapt off it, abandoned it at the side of the road and disappeared in to the crowd, in a very Andy and Lou way (Little Britain).

Jessie The Jeep Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Didn't realise that was the Mayor! By the time we passed him on the hill, he was weaving all over the place trying to pedal hard without turning the steering. He was wandering along the white lines in the middle of the road.
