discussion Military vehicle display

[Peter Gillson]

Hi all

I have been lucky to have been to see a display of military vehicles, here are a few photos.

the first couple are of a German field kitchen which was working - they were selling very tasty beanjar - a type of bean stew, similar to the French cassoulet.

Looks to have been a good display, weather looked OK as well.

Looks like good fun, very similar to the show I usually attend each year called Wartime in the vale at the Ashdown WW2 camp in Worcestershire. I’ve been the last three years in a row and it’s the great atmosphere at the show that keeps me going back each year. Was sad it didn’t run this year as it would have been during the lockdown .

Looks a good show Peter, and nice photos. Here in Rugby we have Tanks, Trucks and Firepower over the Bank Holiday weekend. https://www.tanks-trucks-and-firepower.co.uk/
It was excellent last year but the weather doesn't look so good this time.

Andy - yes, a nice little display considering it was only vehicles here on Guernsey.
Carl - our normal agricultural shows were cancelled due to Covid, but a group of farmers organised this show, which was primarily a vintage agricultural show (loads of old tractors, old thrashing machines etc), the military vehicles were a bit of an add-on, but nice to see.
Peter - that looks a really good show.
Steve - always nice to get to see the real thing.
