hotel magnum Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 well now theres a conundrum, only wwII vehicles but Hotchkiss post war jeeps are ok, that does not seem fair, as most of the veterans of the time are no longer with us we are surely showing our respect for them, so it would not matter what vehicle was used, I can see the point of military vehicles only but cannot see the point in an age restriction, do we not respect all of our forces even those currently serving, this is not a criticism just my thoughts, alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 this is opening a can of worms , there are events in the Netherlands for all era veterans , with up till now vehicles allowed , but Market Garden is about remembering September 1944 . M201 Hotchkiss discussion is another one , but what about Phillipine bodied jeeps and chassis which are replaced ? GMC`s with post war made Bodies from Germany … so a difficult discussion , but they want vehicles which look correct for 1944 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Baz Hi, planing on registering the OYD for Market Garden 2019: https://omg2019.nl/en/. Having never participated in a overseas event. I was wondering if there are any groups/convoys heading over from the UK that we could join/tag along with. Does anyone know if there are there any plans to travel to Arnhem? As I cant see anything mentioned on the organizers site. It seems a shame to make the trip without visiting Arnhem. We’re based in Cambridgeshire it seems ferry from Dover to Calais/Dunkirk main / best bet. Any advice is welcome. Thanks. Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hello Tyler, You may want to consider using the Harwich - Hook of Holland (Hoek van Holland) ferry as that might be an easier journey. There are no organized trips to Arnhem but feel free to drive up there from our base camp, it should take you around an hour to get there. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
