I'll be there with the Sherman V. There are four Shermans coming from the UK.

I'll remember your box this time Marc......

A '43 vintage JS Robertson will be personally delivered from Canada for the duration of the event.
The first time ever seen in Europe. J.

I will be there as a spectator one, two, hopefully three days. The vehicles on the square in Valkenswaard is something I love to see!

Adrian, I am looking forward to seeing your Sherman in real life on Dutch soil. Is it back to British spec and original markings after it's acting in FURY?

Does anyone know if any of the tanks will also be at Tanks in Town one week before Project 70???, september 6th and 7th???

Alex

Oh yes, I have spent many hours, with help from my new crew, refurbishing the Sherman. I took the engine out and cleaned inside and out before a repaint.

Tracks going back on this weekend!

Sounds like some serious work/service Adrian. I think people (me being one of them) often underestimate what renting a vehicle for a movie can do to a vehicle.
Looking forward to the XXX corps event!

Sounds like a good MLU turnout!

Just got word "Gunner" Mike Calnan will be there too with the UK-based "The Garrison" (http://www.thegarrison.org.uk/) as the Troop Commander of the 5.5" gun troop.

See http://www.historicaltours.eu/vehicles.html for a vehicle list. Here are pictures of some of vehicles which will be participating:

My CMP Ford F15A, just fitted a tan tarp over it so I can sleep in the back.
Camouflage netting will be added at the event.
