Hi all

We are now in Pickering and are set up in the Northern Events Arena. It was not terribly well signposted today, maybe better tomorrow, but it is on the left on the road from Molton about 1 mile before Pickering. If you look out for a Circus Big Top it is opposite this. We are in the middle of the hall which is not very big so should be easy to find.

The event looks really good, we have been in to Pickering which is full of re-enactors and military vehicles, saw a man having a lot of bother changing his tyre on his M2!!

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow, any problems give me a ring.

Gill

Looks like we need to enter Mark for "Strictly Come Dancing"

That Pz III is looking like a sweet mover though

Hi Paul,

Nice photo's mate, couldn't resist eh

. At least I'm smiling.

Great day out as usual and the re-enactments were a bonus

See you in 2 weeks today all being well.

Thanks Antony

Anthony, I'm beginning to wonder if you have a fetish about stripping tanks!!

Hi All,

I managed to catch some of the action with the Marder III.

I loved these three kids, the youngest one never flinched all the way through the re-enactment, even with all the explosions, he just tucked into his ice cream, when he had finished he just reached across and nicked his sisters, then a real battle broke out

.

Oh nearly forgot these two photos.

Here's Antony, wishing we would all go away!!

"ScheiÃŸe" I never saw the shell coming!!!

Hi Paul W,

Great action photo's and the photo's of the re-enactment are quite good too

Thanks for lending me your allen keys.

To Mark & Gill, I nearly forgot but thanks very much for the cap and Mark thanks for the battery exchange. You'll be all glad to know I've now ordered a proper battery charger

See you soon,
