Jerrykins Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Visited today, simply splendid, good exhibits, not too crowded, friendly folk, the Cromwell was superb despite limited revs, great weather, a good day was had. The runway was very busy with light aircraft buzzing about all day. The Fv432 and Abbott knocked up some miles doing demo's and never missed a beat. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Ben.. Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Excellent family show, great weather and good to catch up with some folk. Fingers crossed I can bring a toy next year. (I assume it's the name on the truck) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I popped along yesterday with a friend and my kids. Fantastic weather and a great show. Great sized arena, plenty of room on site to grow year on year. Lets hope it gets the support it deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordf30 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi folks, I have to say, thoroughly enjoyed the show and helped out a little ! Now I want a carrier even more since first drive of one went so well. Great site and lots of potential for the futre, and would make a great end of season show !!!! May the FUDGE be with you !!!!!!!!

sim60 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks to everybody who organised the show, we both had a great time the vehicles were stunning and it was nice to see them being driven. The hanger dance was very good and the group were excellent, I hope you do it next year as we will definitely come again. If the dodge behaves herself I will try and come in that.

Adrian Barrell Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Good to see you too Shaun, it was only a flying visit for me but thought the arena was excellent, lots of scope for a good run round....... Will start thinking about next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 The fun has not finished for us on site, we are putting all the kit away back in the storage hanger . It's a fair drive from the show ground , nice to see the Cromwell stretch it's legs in open countryside . Enjoy these videos ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lssah2025 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I wish my mechs worked like you guys....but 3 plus years and the HSC is like 99% done!! Looked like a smashing time, need to get back across the pond more!! Great vids of the Cromwell, now I just need to sell the HSC, the BMW, the Landrover and maybe the house to pull of the deal!

shaun Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 , I have enjoyed them ! The Cromwell seems to be getting better with use......Thanks for posting Shaun. Hi Bob, yes the more it's run the better it's getting. Like any resto they need running and shaking down and fettling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 great vids shaun thanks for putting them up, I really enjoyed the show but the best part for me was driving the tank in convoy across the countryside :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Rick , a big thanks for bring "shufti" down. As ever it was the star of the show. It ran superbly across the airfield , I think the run did it some good . Next year we need a Churchill there so get you finger out and get it finished !!!!

Couldn't agree more, we need more British kit, I'll bring my modest collection of two toys next year (MCC C4 & C8 HUW) and weather permitting camp over. I've been talking with one or two chums and it sounds like they'll be bringing more vehicles (alas American stuff!). Keep up the good work. Best.

11th Armoured Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi, I really enjoyed the show, I thought there was an excellent cross-section of vehicles there, with a definite emphasis on British stuff, which is always nice to see. A good selection of artillery pieces, too, which makes a bit of a change. Highlights for me were (obviously) the Cromwell, which sounds wonderful, but the little Uni. Carrier also put in a good show in the arena (as did everything, to be fair), and the 'Russkis' at the top corner with their AT guns in the hedge was very well executed. I took a ton of photos, although I haven't had chance to sort through them yet, but I did manage to 'fettle' a handful just to give a feel of the day: Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 thanks for the Cromwell pics, i'll need something to remember her by once she's sold and there's nothing like looking at pictures of cush on the internet to put a smile back on your face :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
