ArtistsRifles Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Alas - I'm away the next two weekends :cry: Of to Weston Super Mare to take our existing caravan back to the dealers ready for hand over next weekend. Then after collecting the new van we're off to Wales - ostensibly to try it out but I suspect the wife is trying to lay some rather unpleasant ghosts dating back around 30 years!! Hope you all have a good time !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the first time a four gun troop of 25pdrs will be fired since WWII from 11am and 3pm. Re-enactors - Live firings - Military vehicles - 2nd battalion 95th rifle drills (Sunday only) - Military radios - Medway Military Vehicles The Garrison living history group will present a full troop of four 25 Pounder Field Guns, complete with original WW2 limbers and gun tractors, together with jeeps and all the troop Support Vehicles. The troop will land in formation from the Woolwich ferry and enter the museum grounds, deploying and firing as in action in Normandy 1944. This is the first time that the public will have the opportunity to see a complete troop of field guns like this in action. There will be more live firing throughout the day as well as an ATS display to compliment the fantastic exhibits on display in the Museum. looks good, we will go on the sunday in the jeep steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FV601 (R.I.P.) Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Well looks like the show season has started with a bang We took part in the "Invasion of Woolwich" this weekend which entailed the first turnout of a battery of 4 25 pounders at the seasons opening of the Firepower museum at Woolwich Arsenal site SE London. All in all it was a great weekend with the vehicles all leaving in convoy from Tilbury Fort in Essex and then to the Woolwich Ferry where we were allowed to fully occupy the ferry with Military vehicles. We were lucky enough to have the event covered by ITV who showed it on the 5 0'clock news on Saturday. We have a bundle of photo's which are in the process of being uploaded and will soon be posted. Thanks for attendance go to Medway Military Vehicle Group, The Garrison living History Group, Battle for Europe Re-enactment Group as well as members from Essex Armour and Softskins and Members of the Coalhouse Fort Project. A great weekend well attended by the public and enjoyed by all those who took part. _________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
