Colchester Military Festival - 15th/16th July
OH MY GOD! - HOW MANY PEOPLE!!
There were hordes of them. They destroyed the display, they pestered us, they ran us ragged and that Sun....But it was worth it. One day of complete mayhem and one day of "Where did every body go" syndrome. It was intense but good.


WAR & PEACE SHOW, BELTRING - 19th to 23rd July

Well what can I say about this one....GAWD it was hot....TOO hot. We were not situated well and the traffic pass us was light but we got a very good response from those that did seek us out. Unfortunately a family emergency meant that we had to leave on the Saturday so we missed the two busiest days...

We also had a Fox CVR(W) to bolster the display which was on loan from J.Penton (Thanks for this John). Again we failed to get uniformed shots but we did provide crew for another FV432.


Scott as Commander of the FV432. We are gutted we did not get a picture of his face when the driver went over the Knife edge.


How not to wear your beret which was hurriedly replaced for this picture of me in patrol order with the PRC349 Radio.
