Hi All,

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!

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

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???

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.
