Once again our first show of the year and well attended with a wide range of Armortek models on display.

Thanks to Denny for organising the event and providing tea and cake, Chris H for buying me breakfast and everyone for attending and making such an interesting display.

The highlight was Chris B organising an impromptu cavalcade around the show ground - video available on FB.

I managed to install Denny's replacement Audio Module in his Tiger, after the Post Office lost the last one, getting his Panther MGs lighting up and fixing the smoker fan, sorting out Gary's Tiger sound sync issues and moving Holger's Chieftain receiver to a more accessible location.

I also found out how far the M4A3 will run without an end connector. Sadly, we didn't find the end connector, even after several people had done a walk along the cavalcade route for me.

Adrian.

Hi Adrian

Thanks again for sorting the sound sync problem on the Tiger. Next time I remove the batteries and modules I will make sure I reconnect them correctly. :?
Here is a photo from Saturday.

I was only there on Sunday, but it was a great event with a good turnout - thanks to the ‘usual suspects’ 🤣

And it was nice to see Allied stuff rivalling the Panzerwaffe for a change 😁

All the best,

Chris

It was an event characterised by more Tanks repaired than broken at the end of the day.
I made a field repair on a Churchill taking out a link on each track which has made a great improvement on the track tension, meaning that the links don't catch on the mudguard. The tracks now have enough stretch to low this to happen! It kept the visitors amused!
