The War and Peace Revival 2013 - formerly known as "Beltring"

[Ganmain Tony]

Was great to meet you Nigel, thoroughly enjoyed your conversation.

The living history display you lads did was very impressive and a credit to you.

Could have easily been passing you a note as a dispatch rider from headquarters in Alexandria.

Your carrier is a beauty by the way if I didn't say so on the day...

I suppose I shouldnt have been surprised at the amount of German equipment that was at W&P - but I was.

Anyway, there were a couple of impressive displays of German equipment as well

Perhaps someone could identify the individual pieces in this set of photo's so everyone (including me) knows what they are...

From my limited knowledge - anti aircraft gun.... 20mm?
75mm Pak L/48 anti tank, same gun as on the Mark IV? Perhaps?
Half Track (either German or Czech),
Opel Blitz Truck (Dont know the truck on the left),
Panther and Kubelwagon (possibly replica)

I don't often post on here, but thought I'd share some photos - it was great to see Dirk again and meet Peter. Also chatted to (I think) Maurice (judging by an earlier comment) Wish I'd known it was you as I'd have loved to swap notes on the F22.

Here are some photos anyway

Harry,

Indead, that's a composite 20-cwt trailer. See http://youtu.be/aGYF-0AWWWE for it being towed behind the C15TA.

Well Harry you'll just have to come over here next year and see for yourself.

MacArthur has made noises about it and I'm sure there are a few WC members that could be talked into it. Next year is big in many ways, 1914, 1944, etc.

This year was good, almost too hot. Quite authentic for the desert groups.

Nigel, I don't know if you got my message about the 11 set for sale but it was very pricey.

Just discussing that with Claire. Any advise as to where to land in Europe? 2 airports for Paris thinking of 3weeks June 1 to 21

Noooo it gets worse. Reviewing the photo's, I think that was Maurice's F22 on the trailer. I was that close to it and I didn't notice.

To be fair it's very different to mine (different fuel tanks and external battery box), but I'm guessing it was the one as it had the big wheels and the trailer hitch was in the FGT position.

Good to meet you too Tony, and thanks for the chat break from my duties! Really enjoying my carrier at the moment, and W&P was great, loved the dust for obvious reasons!
Will be down next year.
