Just received the message below from Gerald D Przenislawski and I am passing this on here.
If you have a serious interest to join, please contact him and post your interest here. I found the previous event in 2014 unforgettable and I plan to be there in 2019. I think many of the MLU members who were there in 2014 will join again also. Please post here so we can gauge interest among MLU'ers! Quote:

Absolute no brainer..... I will be there !!
|
With another carrier Richard? :)
|
unfortunately no, even if one was to arrive on my door step tomorrow I would not have time to get it where I wanted it before the event.
besides I have a Cromwell ARV to drive for the event. |
Hope to have the Firefly there.

Excellent! I can't wait.
I still have fond memories of the 2014 event....Watching the tanks startup in the morning on a middle of a Valkenswaard shopping street was a sight to see! Also quite unique was that several vehicles were repainted and appropriately marked just for this event. Alex |
I had a ball with the PIB last time, I would love to be able to once more.

but something is in hand...... it will be there, and it will be on the road. |
Only just noticed this post, I did the 2014 event on a motorcycle, 2019 will be in the carrier for definite! One not to be missed.

We are coming to the 2019 D-Day and buying a vehicle "of some sort" in Europe. Unfortunately we will be on another project in September.
If anyone wants to do Market Garden and not Normandy get in touch with me and we may be able to work out a type that suits us both. I will buy it, get Green Card, Registration etc and the new owner can take it over drive away and then sell or ship it home if a non-Euro resident (I suppose all British will be non-Euro residents by then!)

Local newspaper publishes a heads-up for next year’s “Garden 75” event organized by Liberation Task Force.

Hi, planing on registering the OYD for Market Garden 2019: https://omg2019.nl/en/.
Having never participated in a overseas event. I was wondering if there are any groups/convoys heading over from the UK that we could join/tag along with. Does anyone know if there are there any plans to travel to Arnhem? As I cant see anything mentioned on the organizers site. It seems a shame to make the trip without visiting Arnhem. We’re based in Cambridgeshire Any advice is welcome. Thanks. Tyler |
Hello Tyler,
"OMG 2019" is another event, it is not the same as the "Garden 75" event organised by Liberation Task Force (http://www.ltf-hq.com/index.htm). I know there are many British participants coming over for Garden 75. It may be best to contact the organisers of OMG 2019 via https://omg2019.nl/en/ ? Re. taking a ferry, I would take the Harwich to Hook of Holland as it would save you a lot of driving. HTH, Hanno Quote:

Tyler,
It's a bit confusing, but please note that "Garden 75" (Liberation Task Force) and "OMG2019" are two different events. OMG2019 has the finish in Nijmegen, but I presume Garden 75 will join the Ginkel Heath airborne remembrance, just like in 2014. In 2014 some of the vehicles from the Liberation task force also registered for the annual "race to the bridge" event, which does go to Oosterbeek and Arnhem Bridge. Alex |
Thanks for the reply's.
Quite a few people have now pointed me in the direction of "Garden 75" LTF which upon reading does seem the better option. So I've just registered on the LTF "Garden 75" website, Hoping I'm not too late. Is the annual "race to the bridge" event, which does go to Oosterbeek and Arnhem Bridge on this year? |
Tyler,
The race to the Bridge is organised by the ABWO, Airborne Battle Wheels Oosterbeek. You will find their website and contact info here: http://www.airbornebattlewheels.nl/ Alex |

O.k. people, later this week the British participants will start moving out and cross the channel by ferry to arrive in Holland next weekend.
So who of us will be there? Would be great to meet up with MLU members somewhere during the week. To name a few: Paul Clark will be there with his C15; Marc van Aalderen with his Universal Carrier w/6-pdr AT gun; Sjoerd van de Wal with his Morris C8; Martin IJdo with his freshly restored Hillman Tilly. Andy Mitchell has his F30 back on the road. Paul Visser will take his Fox, Austin 10, Carrier mk1, Inter Halftrack and M7 priest. And Shaun Hindle is coming over with a large group with 6 vehicles. I heard Jordan Baker is joining him. Any other MLU-ers from Canada or elsewhere teaming up with the British? I will be driving my F15A. Hope to meet you there!
