Men of steel day

[David Ellery]

What a day yesterday was ,Im still buzzing from all the excitement in getting 17 tracked armoured fighting vehicles and assorted softskins together for a play at Ohinewai , beside the Waikato river here in the North Island. Tracked armour numbered 17 in total, consisting of a M3 Stuart, M41 Bulldog, Vallentines, M113 APC, FV 432 APC's, Chieftain, Hotchkiss SPZ 2, Scorpion, Halftrack, Loyd , LP2 and British carriers. This event was well organised and well attended by MV's as with the public who for a cold coin donation got to ride in some of the vehicles.
All proceeds from the gate went to the Waikato Child Cancer Foundation, a worthy cause.

Hats of to the organisers, it was a great day and I look forward to the next one.


Cheers David...
