I was in Weert today, very briefly. The "staging area" was not open to public, but I did see several vehicles parked on the other side of the fence; Austin K6, C15A, several Bedford QL's and MWD's.
Lowloaders of the Dutch army were supplying more vehicles....I think I saw Andy's F30, an Austin K2/Y, Bedford QLD, Hillman Tilly, and a Matador on the open road. Lovely vehicles!

A quick update: event is going very well, with some hiccups and confusion along the way - just like 70 years ago!

Mike Calnan was riding with me yesterday, this was the first time we met in person after corresponding for many years (since before the internet....).

Search YouTube for footage, e.g.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg7crwT1N0s
Spot the CMPs - I am at the very end of the column.

Look up "Bailey Bridge Son", there should be some footage of that crossing too.

More later when I get back,
Regards,
Hanno

Hope everyone got home safely.

Great to meet a few members of this forum - had an excellent time - no doubt the excellent weather helped.

Had one break-down - distributor came loose - outside an Italian Ice Cream parlour... the manager of which then invited everyone to have a free ice-cream... very nice it was too... will have to "plan" break-downs on the next trip!

Cheers

Tim
