Castle Drogo 24th/25th September 2011

Some photos from this Military Event. This year we were given a new running location, brilliant, as it was right where the public came in, so plenty of interest and the running ground as you can see from the photos was great.

New covering on bridge proved to be effective, also doubles up as a handy workbench.



King at rest



King on the move.



Apologies for the crushed beercans.



Plenty of public interest.



There's a Tiger in there somewhere.





Little & Large







Comet before the mudguard got ripped off.







Comet now looking more realistic with front mudguard having been ripped of by the fence.



Mr Churchill showing disdain for the Tiger.



But the Comet got the thumbs up !!



Debris removed from the idler and road wheels on the Panzer and the Comet after the event.

Hi Adrian.

Yes the weather was kind although we thought Sunday was going to be wet as it was raining at 10 am but the blue skies appeared and all was well. We had a fly past and fly around by a Hurricane on the Saturday which made the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. I missed taking the photo when he was pointing to the Comet and giving the thumbs up.

The RSM will be taking you to task over that missing mudguard .


Regards

Thanks for the photo's lads....worth a thousand words....

I just can not bring myself to run my Comet over the lawn and rough ground.....my Iron Duke looks so spick and span.
I envy your hard working tanks, maybe next year ....Mick
