Thanks to David, Brian and Denny for the company and entertainment.

Started off pretty chilly but ended with shirtsleeve sunshine :-)

Back again tomorrow, if anyone is in the area.

Adrian,
Thanks for arranging. A good show, with good company at a great little museum. Between us, we managed a sizable turn out of tanks and a number of suitably themed displays as befitting the spiritual home of tank repairs in the field. :roll:
I look forward to the REME model show later in the year.
David

And we weren't there to break down so it must have been.

Next outing should be interesting if I get things worked out and running again. :D

Oddly enough, apart from a few missing collars and split pins on the KT and JT, and a flat battery on a Tiger, Denny's tanks ran OK.

On Sunday we were joined by Steve, giving his Cromwell and Tiger a quick shakedown before Militracks next weekend.

We probably spent more time arguing about which weekend various shows were happening than anything else ! :lol: :roll: :lol:

We had nice area of long grass from which to ambush the visitors.
