Larry Hayward Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I thought Detling was a little light on vehicles this year too. No sign of the WW2 German stuff owned by the Sdkfz people, who own the Jagdpanther. I wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 'Ang on, you see someones camouflage, so their there? :dunno: Well....................Yes he is not on here so I assume he is with his camo netting, never seen him without it :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Just got back from Detling. the vehicles were in there usual place at the far end. As the emphasis was less on WW2 this year they wern't so prominent in the ring. nice show though I enjoyed the couple of days I did manage to get there.

TooTallMike Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well....................Yes he is not on here so I assume he is with his camo netting, never seen him without it :whistle: Hi fanclub! Grasshopper and I went to the site on Friday to drop off the GW trucks and partake in the barbie before coming back. He was working on Sat. and I wanted to do my annual pre-Bethune maintenance & inspection. Along with some other fun bits of steel-butchery. We went down there again on Sun. night (mmm... beer tent...) and were there all day today (Monday), me with a slight hangover (see above). Met up with Lightweight, LW junior & Mrs LW, Karl Joynes, Sean with the Irish registered 101, Clive Stevens... who else? Had a lovely day wandering around chatting and actually looking at the other displays instead of spending the whole time working on our vehicles (apart from changing a flat 11:00 x 20 on the M55 and trying to make the brake lights work) Vince also got stung by a wasp so it wasn't a complete waste of a trip :whistle: - Mike ps. the netting ISN'T MINE (or shorty's); we just keep the vehicles running. I'm NOT a re-enactor hence could not face 3 days down there. Some of them are wierd. Good wenches though :naughty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas pinkie Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 The show is getting smaller and smaller each year, but Tootall was right about the wenches, and their scafolding!!!!! :-D :-D :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean101ryan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Oh, so you were TooTall Mike! :-D, should have clicked, what with HMVF shirt as well :oops: Enjoyed the show, admired Karls DPV, drank far too much and spent very little despite large wedge in pocket! Also eat very well thanks a cook trailer installed in the mess tent with very good chefs! Definitely down on numbers, as for reasons, don't know but some opinions were bandied about; don't know enough background to repeat them here.

Tony B Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hey guy's there are several reasons. The one why the Garrison wasn't there is one of them. still I liked it, always have. Trouble is when you start reenacting as a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
