Usual line up then... Andy if you can get the Pig that far why not come to the Bunker Bash in May... not that much further down the road (26 miles):-D

Alf and the cotraversial champ.

I dunno who this bloke was but he stood around all day with his hands in his pockets ,especially in the cafe.

A very poor turnout again,i think if the musuem doesnt do some advertising this is going to die out.I think we have tried to help them but they need to do more.Mr Bs efforts might reap more rewards else where.

The fact it took me 1hr 40 mins to do the fairly short journey home may just of finished for me.:argh:

PS there was also a lot of litter blowing about,something about a show later in the year,Ministry mania or something.

Andy :pfrt: I was working on a new toy to tow bwhind the Dodge! Couldn't use the 'Vehicle' Young Paul disappeared with it all day. The 2 pounder is the Musuem's newt toy. came from Artuillery School at Larkhill and wa sfiring live sheels last year! There is a possibility that it may be seen shooting at some of the shows. Amazing little gun, over enginnered to a fare the well. Three ways of firing, three ways of traverse and the sights are boggling. Pity they were obsolete when introduced.

Hello,

 

I went to Firepower on the Saturday. Quite a few Land Rovers (pictures below). Couldn't take mine though needs bit of work. Hardly saw any public there. There was an article in the local Mercury newspaper about it being on, but, never saw posters or anything like that in the area. Quite happy with the parts I bought to mount a man pack radio into my FFR, just need to get a radio now, have to be a bit at a time.

 

REME Series 3.

 

 

Lots of radio equipment in this one, gave me ideas for mine.

 

 

And a nice 90

 

 

I enjoyed the afternoon and had a look round the museum as hadn't been for a while.

 

Thanks,

 

Martin

Cheers for pic's guys,...............didn't realise there was as much in museum as the pic's show,..............nice 2 pdr...... look good behind my MW. :-D

[saracenstump]

was even less on saturday and only half the museum was open,poor really i think but nevermind i think some of the kids got their photos taken by the local paper on saturday and a local tv thingy took some film but can't find it yet?

[AndyFowler]

Yeah only half the museum was open Sunday as well ! Didn't stop them charging FULL admission price to my sister and her son ! Luckily someone left a side door open of the other half and we had been right around before a rather irrate elderly gentleman came in and shouted that nobody was supposed to be in there :stop:! Very professional museum :confused:! As we were walking around I did think , not much security in here ! :-D
