Good luck with the XXX Corps trip - I hope the management have ironed out some of the issues experienced on the last one - though I guess last time it was the Dutch and this time it is the French... so who knows what will happen.

Alas cannot go this time, hope you have fun.

Only problems I was aware of at Arnhem were muppets not doing homework before bringing arms and munitions all be it inert into a foreign country without doing their own due diligence (we are grown men and masters of our own destiny) As it happens I did do my research and I had no issues..... Unfortunately the above mentioned clowns ruined it for the masses and so the police clamped down (which was the right thing to do.... Their country their rules) resulting in a somewhat farce with regards to holding all weapons in one place, guarded by unarmed individuals (which made the whole thing a bit pointless) however, we came and acted like kids.by not playing by the rules.......so they treat us like kids. And our black powder was strictly monitored for the guns which was a shame.

Unless something else happened that I was unaware of, the XXX CORPS run 2014 has set the bar for all other shows and runs.....IMHO

This year, different country, different rules, all have been posted up on the companies page, relating mainly to what the vehicles must have onboard..... As time draws closer I am sure Mr King will append the firearms legislation, same as last time.


Anyway..

Back to the rather nice carrier that is the focus of this thread.

Welcome Mike

I think we spoke at W&P as I was one of the other carrier drivers. Great vehicle well done.

Thank you all again for the very warm welcome to the community and to answer all the questions in one go, almost certainly not going to France this year as I have too much else on though I did do Arnhem on my motorcycle and it would really take something to beat that !
I aim to have my carrier out by May for this season and Ben, I hope mine will look as good as yours but it is no way as rare!

Think I have just "twigged" who you are Mike... The bike gave it away, I think you were my driver at W&P when we spent some brass at the last reenactment

Cheers
