Degsy Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 This story was going round before Normandy last year but nothing happened,there was lots of armour there but you still need to check,try the French equivalent of the MVT or the Belgian MVT.

Richard Farrant Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Apparantly it is something about armoured vehicles being in the same classification as firearms. I think the French can get around it by clubs or museums owning the vehicles. We were warned about taking armour to Normandy last year, but those that did, had no problems, it may only be French owned ones that come in to it. I understand that vehicles taken to France to take part in an organised event are not a problem. This is from a guy who is a member of one of the French mv groups.
