Great day out, many thanks to everyone for putting it on and a special mention for Chris Fry for fixing my tank when I broke it and (hopefully) diagnosing the root cause of my power comsumption issues. Camera issues (I forgot to charge it!) meant I didn't get much in the way of photos but a couple came out just right...

The new electronics were good to see laid out and to hear it in operation.
The talks were a great addition to the day.
A good day out, many thanks to all who laid it on for us! Steve

Hi Everyone,

After what Chris and Stephen said, there is not much for me to add except for:
Lord, give me strength to change the things I am able to change.... and patience to endure the things I can not change :-) A bunch of Tiger and Panther variants, Leo II, Famo, 222s, a few 88`s and smaler ones like Hetzer, Stug III, 251, etc.
