CANADA Day in Preston Ontario

[charlie fitton]

[QUOTE=Jordan Baker; just wondering what time we would be done by back in the park? Geoff, You and Sally are still going. I'll bring the Jeep, if so

Depend - how long are you going to stay at the pub after?

Pde over by 2.30 or 3 pm , after that - who's guess

[Jordan Baker]

Well I'd like to stay but its more of a case of where do I park the UC.

Ok I'll get my travel plans setup for pickup for 2:30pm and the truck is booked.

Gents,

Do you guys only do 1 parade a day?

I am able to do a late day parade in Stratford, so I can't linger too long at the watering hole...

The weather was great, thanks Dave... cloudy but dry and cool enough for young and old alike to avoid overheating. I have to say that I was amazed - it looked like the whole damned town was out in the streets for this! Talk about revitalising my faith in the people of this country - I've been living in Toronto too damned long now...

We had three carriers out, Stewart's T-16, Jordan's Mk.1* and Charlie Fitton's Mk.2*, and in addition one Willys MB (Jordan's) and one Ford GPW as well as two Iltis's. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of veterans out for this, but the carriers carried a couple; all of our vehicles followed the regimental pipe band and received a tremendous reception by the public... particularly entertaining for the crowd was when Charlie shut off his carrier and had his HLI troops rig a tow chain from the T-16 within a couple of minutes - you'd almost think he broke down or something...

Anyway, situation retrieved with due honour and appreciation and we carried on to the end!

Pics will follow shortly. It was a damned good run!

Kudos to those who participated... we will attend again.
