It would be nice to know who is in the photos, where possible, so to be able to put names with faces! For those of
us on the other ends of the globe it's nice to see...

Lovely pictures Marco :D

> No, Sunday was better! :-)

Till it wasn't - we tried to have a meal at Restaria Loon and had to scuttle inside to avoid the downpour :shock: :roll: :lol:
So glad we'd packed everything away by then. Made for a memorable meal though :lol: :lol:

A little bit further than Wiltshire, UK to Columbus, GA 😉. I’ve been to the US Cavalry and Armor Collection twice now (and a wonderful collection it is too ❤️), so transatlantic travel can be done !

See you there 😁,

Nice to see our 222 getting some attention before it lost a special bolt and sat in disgrace for the rest of the show. Must have been the only time it ran. :D

Only just started going through the photos I took and I was really off my camera game over the weekend. Think I spent most of the time removing my tracks until the 'almost unscrewed axle' offered up a potential root cause. I de-mudded my Hetzer today and found the leaf springs completely mud-logged and one suspension arm seized. All fixed now and the axles are going back in (with loktite this time) so I don't have the same problem again.
Photos to follow now I'm processing what I have.

I hate to think how much mud has ended up under the mudguards of the Churchill, the wet weight is in the order of kilos, once it has all been swept up I will post a photo. I did have one unexpected stowaway, namely a Dutch Slug, lurking under the righthand mudguard! Should I report it to Immigration, how would it fare in Rwanda?
