ajmac Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Joris, are you coming over to England for the weekend this time? Traffic permitting the ajmac family should be on site just after lunch on Friday...no wartime vehicles with us sadly, just a camera and a memory.

Jack Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 All is well. Degsy arrived about 06:00 yesterday and I tried to get up to him all day because I was worried he would get bored up there on his own - got there and was amazed to see a load of vehicles and chaps there already - including Olaf! Here's a pick of Fred Dibnar (Degsy) and Olaf. I am just waiting for them to arrive at Becketts Towers and I making breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Great work guys!! Horrid weather today but cheers up after tonight I have taken a picture of R Cubed - get this - HOOVERING Cubed Masion...........there are no words to describe a guy hoovering the carpet in a tent in slippers whilst it was blowing a gale outside:wow: On site so far - Adrians M4 HST arrived (the man is god) Ward La France, Jeeps, Mack, Halftrack, GMCs, Weasel and a Harley. Dragon is inbound ETA midnight - Chaffee in bound ETA 03:00. We are off to Dorchester tomorrow at 11:00 as we have education day - Chaffee going in as well as the Mack, Matador, Hellcat and Dragon Wagon (if they are awake :angel: ) have yet to ask Adrian if he would like to take the M4 and of course the outriders - this is going to be fun (challenge) in its own right! The BBC are coming to us at 10:45 and will be filming and embedding in the convoy.......happy days. Going to bed. Exhausted. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!!! Safe journey's JB!!
