Richard Notton Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 A mere hundred grand :shake: mind you we do live on the sea front................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, how much did you say the bank would lend us hunny? :-o You might have just a tiny problem getting it in the show gateway Rosemary; I might have a tiny problem shunting people and traders about to make space too seeing as how the numbers are steadily swelling and its not even April yet, let alone May when the floodgates of last-minuters typically open. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoshi Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Now why did I say that when I meant 1,051. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 £1,051 for an LST - that's better - it's only £50 to £100 each depending on how many members want to take part - the forum could buy and save it for the nation (as well as use it for D-Day trips to France etc.) How say you Jack???? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 No... No... No..... 1051 was the number built, not the going rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say nothing of the deluge of trader entries at the 11th hour and 59mins. As they do. And Windows© XP crashing this week needing a complete re-install + updates, and a memory fault too. :computerterror2: First job today then, go and get 1,000,000,000 digital grey cells, I do hope they'll all go in the car and I don't need to borrow a trailer.

Tunnel_Rat Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm hoping to come along with Private P.Connor of the hmvf underground division, if you know of any bunkers/tunnels or any underground structures, please do come and find us and have a chat, a good place to find us might be the beer tent in the evenings!! :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Richard, Grasshopper and I will be down with 3 vehicles arriving Saturday lunchtime. We may have a couple of extra people on board. Will we be ok for passes? - should be a total of 4 people. - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for tunnels, perhaps look here, hours of fun: http://www.portsdown-tunnels.org.uk/ It seems that Portsdown Hill under Fort Southwick, which is part Naval Radar Research and part Admiralty, somewhat resembles a bar of Aero, miles of tunnels and subterranean goings on. Only some 8 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we be ok for passes? - should be a total of 4 people. - Mike Presuming the "vehicles" are MVs, have you booked in? It helps us and the insurance to have completed entry forms which you can get at:http://www.solentoverlord.co.uk/files/vehicle.pdf You'll need one for each vehicle. We've never turned anyone away yet and it wont happen in my tenure at least; probably best now to grab the form and fill it out and bring it with you rather than doing one on-site. We're pretty laid back about people in MVs and the owners are a reasonable bunch; I guess a Leyland Hippo or Albion CX23N stuffed full of people might be taking the P but it doesn't happen. Anyway 4 people across 3 mil vehicles is hardly a lot of extra bodies! However, if you come in private cars then you are just MOPs! That'll be hand in the pocket time too but only a fiver unless you have a current membership card of another organisation I can't mention, and then its free; I don't believe this works the other way round though. . . . . . . :dunno: :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooTallMike Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Richard, those 3 MVs are booked in, however as of today it looks like we'll also be bringing a halftrack for the day on Saturday. I'l point him in the direction of an entry form to bring with :-). Looking forward to meeting everyone who's going to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, peace and quiet from me now as I'm off for a week tomorrow with home in tow to make it all happen. :-D With trepidation and tempting providence, even the weather forecast is encouraging too; the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment should have no trouble jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft therefore and missing the two super grid lines. If not we are in for more spectacle than we can handle but I think they know what they're doing. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
