Dirk,

I can see why you are disappointed. But as I understand it, the primary function of the vehicles in this parade is to transport veterans, hence the request for vehicles which can carry passengers. Many Jeep owners will be disappointed, too!

On the other hand, there is a tendency to forget the major Commonwealth contribution to the liberation of the Netherlands. Therefore I personally would like to see some Canadian specials to freshen up our collective recollection of the past!
