GoranWC51 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hello everyone, The Swedish group consisting of 10-12 vehicles (mostly Willys MB's/Ford GPW's and Dodge WC's) will be camping alongside the Big Red One museum outside Coleville sur Mere, a stone's throw from the US Cemetary and Omaha Beach. We will arrive on June 1st and stay until around June 10th. I will be riding in my 1944 Dodge WC51 marked as an ambulance vehicle of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force [a far cry from all 101st/BOB marked vehicles ;-)] (See picture of an original BEF Dodge WC51 ambulance) My Dodge will be going to the paint shop soon for a complete new paint job. Recognizing fellow HMVF members: What about printing out the HMVF-logo (see attached picture), say 5 x 20 cms (aprox 2 x 8 inches) and putting it in the outer upper hand corner of the passengers side windscreen?
