Rlangham Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Bit self-explanatory really. Anyone know of any events where WW1 vehicles are likely/planned to turn up this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The Daimler should be doing the AA run in a few weeks time. I will get back to you on some more later. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 On Sunday 3rd of May we are taking our FWD Model B on the London to Brighton run. Joining us will be another US WW1 FWD Model B, a civilian McCurd lorry (which although a civilian is of the same type used by the ASC during the war) and pershings Doughboys the WW1 US Army Living History Unit. We will be leaving South terrace car park at Crystal Palace at 7:40 and should be at Madeira drive for around mid day (hopefully). It will be interesting to have two US military scheme Model B FWD's together. Something not seen in this country for a very long time. This will be the longest journey undertaken by either of these FWD's since their restoration. Wish us luck. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bill Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Detling Living History Show presumabaly. No, this is the London to Brighton Historic Commercial Vehicle run. This is what we are taking (very slowly!). All prayers for a dry day will be gratefully accepted. Cheers! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Steve I think you missunderstood that post. Look at Rob's first post. Bit self-explanatory really. Anyone know of any events where WW1 vehicles are likely/planned to turn up this year? Usually there is something at Detling. We took the FWD once, but it was an expensive hike out.
