simonsfotos Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) This was the first time that I'd been to this event more to have a look at the military vehicles than to photograph the aircraft. There weren't that many there among the hundreds of other vehicles but what was there was a nice mix. Here are some pics of each of the vehicles (being a bit new to this, there are some for which I can't give details as there were no 'boards' to tell me what they were though I'm sure someone on here will let me know and I'll then update the thread!). Also, if you happen to be the owner of any of these and want copies of the pics then by all means get in touch! I have other angles of each vehicle. Too many for this taster. 1944 Chevrolet C8A 1944 Willys Jeep & Ford GPW 1942 Ford GPW Landrover Defender - Truck Utility Light (High Specification) - Wolf Ferret Scout Car Landrover Lightweight Landrover Lightweight - RAF Police Don't know this one I'm afraid! 1963 Thorneycroft Antar Mk3A Ballast Tractor (if anything this big can me so this was gorgeous!) 1942 AEC Matador Gun Tractor (now with logging rear end but otherwise restored in REME markings) 1956 Thorneycroft Nubian RAF Fire Tender Bedford QLR (very appropriate this as I'm about to start on the IBG model kit of one of these!) Dodge Weapons Carrier Dodge 1/2 ton WC9 ambulance Plymouth Staff Car Landrover Ambulance 1940 Morris Commercial PU8 MkII 8cwt FFW Edited May 9, 2009 by simonsfotos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Landrover Defender (exact type?) That was my Truck Utility Light (High Specification) = Wolf I had booked in the pig but the prospect of achieving an extra 20 mpg for a one day show was somehow far too tempting.

fv1609 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ok then, how's this: It's SCHEDULED to take place every early May Bank Holiday! Sorry wasn't trying to nit-pick, it was a dig at the UK weather. What I always forget, rain or not, airfields are drafty places. This year I had to buy a couple of £3 woolly-pulleys from a stall & put them both on!

simonsfotos Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yes that is the trouble with airfields, no shelter! Well the buildings get in the way of the runways:) It goes someway to explain why the boot of my Fiesta has permanent residents in the form of windproof and rain proof over gear! Well, during the summer anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
