Jolly Jeeper Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Went to Nesscliffe MV Gathering on Sunday in the Hotchkiss. Here's a few pics of some great heavies and a Dakota flypast. Turned up early on Sunday morning so maybe I missed most of the event on Sat but I'm not sure I'd drive 150 miles each way to it again.

Jolly Jeeper Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 There were a couple of Scorpions (I think) there. Don't know too much about Postwar armour. JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joris Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Nice pictures, British trucks always appeal to the eye imo. Was the truck on the first picture (what is it?) towing two guns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Jeeper Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 It's an AEC Matador towing a 25 pounder and a limber. I owned a Scammell Explorer 6x6 like in one of the pictures above for a while but it's a Matador that's parked in my fantasy garage/on the lottery win list. Had loads of Airfix ones when I was a kid... JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
