Jessie The Jeep Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Anyone in the South East/East Anglia area going to the 493rd Bomb Group open day at Debach airfield this year? Bodge and I are going, so I hope that doesn't put you off! Trade, vehicles, re-enactors, a great museum set in the control tower, and possibly a fly by or two. Here's a few pictures from past years to get your juices flowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Oops, did I just trip over this thread and kick it to the top of the pile? Never mind. A great event for anyone not going to France on 6/7th June. Hope to see you there. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanter Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Was a very good show last time we went (our ambulance and jeep can be seen behind the other ambulance in the second from last pic) unfortunatley we're on the wrong side of the channel could be at loads of shows that weekend!!! Hope all who go enjoy themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 So far, the likely list of familiar faces will be me, Lynne, Bodge, Clive Stevens, and Paul Marriott, and if that isn't enough to draw the crowds in, I don't know what is!!!

Jack Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 :goodidea: Well I was going..... only kidding! I'll be there with the Sherman. Tell Bodge I'll wear a steel helmet this time.....:goodidea: Good point! Bodge just texted me asking if that was a step on the your Sherman. I tried for about half an hour to explain that in fact it was your head. You just can't get through to that lad. :sweat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Will be great to see you and the Sherman in less muddy conditions than Route to Victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Bodge is a liability, but can I have a ride in the Sherman if I promise not to kick you in the head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Marriott Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 We now have a new visitor centre ( posh word for tea hut!!) next to the ambulance shed and able to supply the avid traveller with tea and coffee. Plus the big bonus for this years event fully plumbed toilets, so theres no long walk back to the tech site for a pee!! Will post some pictures of this rather impressive structure, all constructted by OAP's except for myself of course!! As for the HMVF crew well up here in Suffolk two's a crowd so with five or more we can have a party. As for the 493rd, they flew their first combat mission on D-day and lost two B-24's in a collision over the beaches, so for those unable to get to France Debach will do nicely.
