Your point about negativity towards post war kit is interesting. While we haven't had any issues when displaying kit, several MLU Members have told us about problems they have had with visitors.

We would like to learn more about this matter from MLU members either in this open forum or by PM.

I too would be interested in hearing these issues, this will be my first year showing the halftrack

Sometimes difficult to interpret what is actually meant in a reply/post but perhaps what was meant by "anti post war kit" is simply a greater general interest in WWII vehicles and hence the desire from organizers to have WWII vehicles participate in the events as opposed to post war. General public awareness of anything WWII is greater than post war. Not as many events, movies or shows based on post war when compared to WWI or WWII. Thinking back to when I first considered the purchase of a mv, my initial desire was for something WWII because of personal awareness. That changed and I'm now the proud owner of a 1961 MK 2/3 Ferret.

Not sure if this has been looked into but with regards to the Toronto Parade, does anyone know if the Dutch Consulate has been asked about post war vehicles participating in the parade. I am relocating my store that weekend but I would have been thrilled to participate in the event.

Hi Terry

While I can't speak for the Dutch Consulate, I know they have had a good response for WW2 vehicles to participate in the parade, to the extent there is currently a small waiting list. There may also be a static display of vehicles, separate from parade participants.

Brian Gough took his HUP and Les Fisher took my C15TA in the Liberation Parade in Toronto. It sounds like they had a good time and they promised me more photos. The couple that were his passengers are 94 (him) and 91 (her).
Cheers,

Barry, thanks for posting the photos.

Good to see the memory is kept alive in Canada as well as the Netherlands

Met hartelijke groet,
