Some more photos from Frome Showground on the Sunday. Luckily the rain held off but you can see it was a close thing. The early desert tigers were in their element with some scale sandstorms blowing down the track in the afternoon as it got very windy.
I only managed to attend on the Sunday with my Tiger and Pershing and it was enjoyable with great company. Thanks to those there as I got some useful tips.
Sounds like it was a quiet day on Saturday but, despite the gloomy weather forecast, there was a much bigger attendance on Sunday. I made it 8 of us, with 15 tanks (although Adrian was so busy fixing other people's stuff that he never unloaded his Sherman fleet )
A couple more photos:
The overnight rain had left lots of muddy puddles to play in, some of them pretty deep. It's quite impressive the bow wave that a Panther can produce
Thanks, as usual, to Denny and Adrian for the organisation.
All the best,
Chris

Great turnout despite the forecast, sorry I had to leave a bit early but wasn't feeling great. Was a great day meeting new people and talking tanks. A massive thank you to Adrian for sorting my Churchill, it will now turn on grass and mud!!!
