Just put our web site photos up of our display at Beltring http://www.514th.co.uk/w&p2006.html
Hard to say what the best part for me was,
It would be a close call between the 31 truck Red Ball convoy or
the battles riding in on a Sherman tank operating the 50Cal and turret gun

25th Aniversary
Well for you guys thinking about it, the War&Peace show is 25 years old next year, and will be bigger and hopefully even better.
The Red Ball Convoy WILL surely happen again, so time to get planning. 18th - 22nd July, Paddock Wood, Kent.

So why not be part of it ? Let us know you're coming and we'll fix you up.

When I was over there in 1989, a fine gentleman by the name of Rodney Rushton? I think, lent us his CCKW "Daisey Mae"
What a GREAT time I had!
