40 years of "Keep Them Rolling"
 
5 Attachment(s)
Last weekend the Dutch Historic Military Vehicle Collectors Club "Keep Them Rolling" celebrated it's 40th anniversary. Many vehicles, their owners and other interested collectors gathered in Barneveld.

Attached are some photos of the CMPs present. I got them from various KTR members, mine will follow later and I think Alex will chime in as well.

Enjoy!

Hoi Hanno
Those are great photos. It's amazing how you Dutchies can get more vehicles to an event than we have in the whole country. Brian and I were lucky enough to get to the 25th anniversary and it was such a great time. I still have some KTR Dollars to spend. Stefan just sent me this photo of what he took to the event so I thought I would pass it on.
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Barry

Hi Barry,

What could one expect with so many collectors in such a small country? For Canadians, this event would have to be considered to be in their "back forty" :D

I think the total tally stood at 150-200 vehicles, the majority Jeeps, Beeps & Jimmys but with an increasing number of British and Canadian vehicles. On Sunday there was a classic bicycle tour, typical Dutch eh?

I missed Stefan, as he and many others left early Sunday morning after a wet night and a very wet forecast for the rest of the day. By the time Alex and I got there, a large portion of the participants had already left to dry out at home. The 2 pictures show a local TV screen grab of me in a poncho following a C15, plus another one showing a view from a dry spot in the main tent.

Jaap, a pity Hanno and I missed Stefan and you.....would love to have had a chat and another look at FAT and C15.
but.....there were still some very nice MV's to look at, including one of my favorits, the C60X from Johan.

Something else that I don't want to withhold from MLU. Hanno and I visited the museum at Deelen airfield afterwards. The pic of the Dodge D15 door was taken there.....it looked like someone left the door at the KTR 35th anniversary, but it was actually a leftover from the large Deelen vehicle dump (late 40's).....and found in 1996!
