I notice that metal tracks are now allowed only on a case by case basis (presume carriers will be fine, armour more tricky) so it isn't quite back to the 'good old days'. Kind of like A&E.

Unfortunately the ferry company transeuropa ferries have ceased trading which was tied in with tanks in town which got us in the uk a half price ramsgate Ostend crossing £556 for a artic return looking at £1200 ish now:-(

Oh that's a bugger. Does anyone know how many tracked vehicles are likely to be going? I'm torn at the moment between TiT, great Dorset steam fair and rolling steel in holland that weekend.

Very pleased to see Ricks Cromwell here. Looking forward to seeing it on the move tomorrow.

I think it was the Brussels tank museum one not Rick's.

Oh really? Shame it didn't go on the run anyway.

The Cromwell belongs to the Belgium military museum and if I'm informed correctly it will move to the new museum at Bastenaken / Bastogne

 

 

And they did bring some other nice vehicles

Actually, it's been in Bastogne for more than two years now. It actually broke down during the Bastogne remembrance in december, two years ago. Was than rebuilt over a period of two years and was finished shortly before the Bastogne remembrance last year.

The Stalin was also in the process of being rebuilt in Bastogne.....as was a Renault UE, although I am not sure it's the same one as showed up in Mons.
