Enigma Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 A few guys from a re-enactment group I know organised a MV/living history weekend to commemorate our liberation. The site was next to a motorway where some schools were demolished. With lots of events that weekend there were about 50 vehicles. Lots of Jeeps and Dodges but also a M16 halftrak, M8 Greyhound, White scoutcar, BMW with sidecar and even a Dodge WC 43 (veeeeeery scarce). I arrived fridayevening at midnight and luckily I could borrow a tent. Next day a MV drive in the area. A nice gesture was to take a little detour to drive past 2 retirement homes. The weather was hot!! Unfortunately my Dodge still has ignition troubles, have to chance coils after a while. Still we (mum, brother and his kids) had a great time. On sunday it was visitors day with lots of people due to the nice weather. I walked around as a Highland medic. Some of the younger guys had dug foxholes and stayed in the almost all day baking away!!. Hopefully next year a new edition. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a264/T214/WaalwijkMei2007056Small.jpg[/img] http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a264/T214/WaalwijkMei2007053Small.jpg[/img] This is me and the Dodge.
