"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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoRlVZnJv2E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-2zh7PSmp4 Alex

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.
