wyvern rider Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 This planned event may be of interest to anybody with British marked WW2 vehicles, and plans to follow the route of XXX Corps through Belgium / Holland. I have no connection with the guy apart having met him, but it sounds very good and appears to be well organised. Have a look at their website. http://xxxcorps.wix.com/operation70 Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard, I just picked up on the LTF France organising body and copyright mentions. Certainly the text is written by a native English speaker. I just had a vision of the early morning briefings - "Leesten verry carefully,I shall say thees unnly once" David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scammell4199 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Please excuse my ignorance as to how military units are organised but would a 7th Armoured Division Jeep be welcome? Failing that i might have to quit work and get the Scammell done. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I would kill to bring the Scammell on this event (metaphorically), but unless I win the lottery I haven't got a chance in hell of having it done by then. Sorry. Might come as a spectator. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm not really into the whole uniform thing so don't really want to be infantry, I'm interested to know what vehicle you might want me to drive though. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
