Jack Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Over the last two week Myself, Jack and the rest on the Plain Military team have been working to get the MOD to allow us to have a classic military vehicle meet on the Salisbury Plain training area (SPTA). We have had the nod as long as we stick to the bylaws. We can go out for a weekend drive taken in some of the sights on and around the training area. Everyone is welcome to bring there vehicles of any size and shape as long as they are Military. The public will not been told about his meet up due to this being a trial run. No date has been set for the visit and this is were you come into play. When would be the best time for you all to get together? We still have a few thing to iron out but hopfully this should all be sorted shortly. We are hopeing to have the old Fowler Barracks at Ludgershall as our camp-site but the only thing is there is no water so if anyone has a water bowser at hand that would be helpfull. The camping area is less than a mile from all the shops you will ever need IE Chiness, indian, fish n chips Kantaness, kabab, tescos, summerfield and news papers. The ranges are 25 by 10 miles and consist of grassland woods and loads of old farm buildings that we can use to get some stunning photos for callenders and post cards. All road crossing will be coverd by the PM teams, latreens will hopfully be sorted but if not bring a shovel and a dungie roll. I am still trying to get hold of a large tent so if there are any out there it would be of great help. A small charge might be of use to bribe the MOD into letting us use the Driver training area but this might not be a good idear as there are some very large holes and puddles down there. The Impact zone main road can be used but we must stay on the main road and not wounder onto the grass. You can see some of the wrecks but you may want to bring your binnos. So thats about it if this goes well there is nothing stopping use doing this every year. I am going to contact Walter davis at Six wheel appeal to see if any of the TACR2 boys can give us some fire cover as ours want be ready. If you are interested in the visit please post here. Every one is welcome no matter what you own even Snapper in his Iltis. He has been promising to come down here for years so maybe this will do the trick. I have lined up some of the best photogrphers to cover this visit but you can bring your own camara just dont pock your leanse into any of the camps. SA80 rounds sting when they are being pulled out your bum cheeks. Hope to see you all soon and I will keep you all up to date with any imformation we get.

Jack Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ok chaps - lets get to work! Tony will post up more information as and when he has it. I think this is going to be a great weekend and a great opportunity for a lot of us to get together for the first time and if it was anything like the tunnelling day we had then this is going to be on hell of a good time. Yes there is going to be some politics about the PW guys having to go first (so the can find the potholes and smooth the way for us WW2 guys :whistle:) but this is a great chance for all of us to meet, with as many different vehicles as we can and have a great and enjoyable experience............ :-D So, as always, the dates and going to be the issue here, so I am going to nail a date to the mast and say the first bank holiday weekend of May - subject to Tony's agreement. Next, we need to make a list who can make it and what MV they are bringing :-D ....so please cut and paste the list and add yourself.

Jack Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hell......thought the those Essex boys would bottle it :whistle: Rowan good to see you on board - to a certain degree you started this!! :-D Picking up on something Mark said about this not being a public event so it best not be discussed on an public forum...... This is a good point and what I will do is make a board on here that can only be seen by those of us who have added their name to the list. The board will be for those of us attending to be able to see the time and the place etc etc or any other information that needs to be seen by those who are going. All other gossip, plans, announcement will be on the open forum, the only reason I am doing this is to protect Tony and HMVF from any unnecessary hassle......you never know who is watching. Jack.
