Hi Chris
We got the cent sorted, just a fuel problem that let us down durring your visit, we look foward to your next visit.

We will take on the tracked vehicle course....Unfortunately my driving skills restricted the vehicles completing the designated course by getting bogged on the 4th crossing !!

We were looking foward to seeing the wheeled vehicles have a go as well but due to lack of time the 12km cross country course dident get started.

All you carrier guys should start planning your next group visit.

Phill
As you can see we are looking after the old girl !

Kind regards

good idea Tim, you take your carrier and we will take ours then we have to have Keefy come along with his movie camera to document it all.

ditto!!

A few truths. No outing with armoured vehicles is complete without getting one stuck. Likewise, they are always larger in pictures than in reality (not saying anything about anyone's girth here either). And, it never ceases to amuse and amaze me that the appearance such ferocious beasts can be tamed with the addition of a curious boy or pretty girl.

Default Some more of the action

Just a few more, note the tow strap been tested to destruction....a man should take better care of his toys, but then that would be a little dull just having them sit around and have to clean the dust off them every time we had visitors.....

Kind Regards

Hey Mat,

That underside shot of Armaggeddon is the pic of the bunch. I'm surprised that you can still make out 11 BA 76 on the lower front plate.

Cheers

Phill
