Default Rolling Steel 2012, KTR Twente-Achterhoekweekend September 2012

"Rolling Steel 2012"....."KTR Twente-Achterhoek weekend"....."Tanks in Twente", all names for the same event, held two weeks ago in Sint Isodorushoeve in the Eastern part of The Netherlands.
Just two weeks after Dutch club Keep Them Rolling (KTR) celebrated it's 40th Anniversary, the club celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the "Achterhoek-weekend".
What can I say....it was awesome. The special theme this year was "Red Ball Express", so Jimmy's were everywhere, but the organization also managed to attract some very rare and heavy trucks and also a lot of trailers and engineers equipment. Apart from the American vehicles, there was an excellent selection of Commonwealth vehicles. I wanted to post some pics of the event, but to be honest, the hard part was making a selection!

Anyway, enjoy the pictures, and also have a look here for to movies I made.

Thanks for taking time from your personal life to spend a warm autumn afternoon in the sun photographing old trucks, tracks and tents. Your sacrifice is noted (wink). Did you find refreshment at the mess truck?

Realistically, that is the wrong era of Canadian flag. It ought to be a Red Ensign, which resembles the modern-day Ontario and Manitoba provincial flags. Although the Maple Leaf replaced the Red Ensign a generation and a half ago, there are still many people who are angry at the thought.

The flag might be wrong, but did you notice that the Allied Star is crooked? This was a common practice with the Canadians who did not was the American style star on their vehicles.

BTW: Great photos and report.

Regards Rick.
