Tanks in Town Mons (BE), Aug. 29/30 2009

[kettenkrad]

Hello Chris,

I looks like I should go to Mons 2009, too.

This year I had some trouble with my company getting vacation for that event. I could only get vacation for Friday and Monday. So I think I'll leave home on Friday morning.

I wanted to complete week before Mons free, to have enough time to prepare the Kettenkrad for the event but like every year, there is not enough free time before.

I didn't book a hotel until now and I hope there are still spaces.

Hope to see you at Mons! (What about Hanno???)

Best regards
Andreas

... and 2 Blitzes so far: A C30 and and F60L

And a Fox Armoured Car, or is it a Humber?

Chirs, Lucky you! I have to wait another two days to enjoy these vehicles.

Great to see three of the Brazil Stuarts in action.

I believe I have seen that C30 Blits at Tanks in Town 2007 as well.....It's restoration wasn't completed then, so I am looking forward to seeing the progress on it with my own eyes.

See you on Sunday!

Alex

p.s. For those interested in scale modelling; Resicast has an open-house on Saterday-afternoon. You will find them in Havre, just outside Mons.

Andreas and I had today a small international German/Swiss MLU-Meeting

My brother and I had a lot of fun riding as passengers on Andreas Kettenkrad through the woods A very powerful little-go-anywhere beauty. We even met the guy who filmed us last year when we rode on the Kettenkrad. A small world. And Keefy, yes, I interviewed Andreas. He did a fantastic 5minish speech. You'll get it soon.

We also had a ride on a APC, very bumby.

Haven't met Hanno yet, he's somewhere around.

Greetings
Chris
