I would just like to thank all the exhibitors, re-enactors and visitors that made this show a great success even in the face of the wettest (and bloody cold) May for 10 years.

Again two Stalwarts did stalwart service pulling some heavy stuff about together with a FV102 Striker, which must have been exciting for some happy campers, and we must comment on Andreas and his KK that showed just how amazingly strong these rare vehicles are. I wonder if the hundreds of MOPs dragged in and out of the carpark realise what a rare treat it is to be KK powered.

What a pleasure too in meeting our own Mike Calnan albeit all too briefly because of being called away for duties elsewhere.

A short respite until September and then we start doing it all again. . . . . . . . .

Thanks for that report, Richard... I was going to ask you for one tomorrow. I miss you and the rest of the crew, and yes, I believe in the KK legend from first-hand experience!

We are safely back home, the Kettenkrad is in the garage again. It saw a lot of towing service at the OVERLORD SHOW.
It did just that, for what it was designed for: Driving in the mud, where other vehicles fail. We've had a lot of fun.

Best regards from Germany
Andreas

My thanks to Richard for his warm hospitality and a chance to run about in a Stollie (backwards at 30 mph!)

I have finished the acquisition of the Quad 20mm Polsten and it is now in Bristol awaiting shipping to Canada.

On my way to Kenya in a few hours and will try to post from there!

Cheers! Mike
