Next Year
18 mouths ago I took 6 Ferret armoured cars into Hyde Park, London and performed a dance routine for the Queens Jubilee.
This weekend I am taking 4 Ferrets into Earls Court, London to take part in this years British Military Tournament (Formally the Royal Tournament) I was thinking ahead to next year, (The 70th Anniversary of the D Day landings) If I can persuade the powers that bee whilst I am there. Who would be interested in doing something with 4 or 6 carriers ? Just an idea at the moment, But now is the time to plant the seed. Barry MKII |

OK
Today we had 7 dancing Scorpions / CVRT's 4 ferrets doing a display with the White Helmets. Even a 150ft long U Boat. Surely we can do something with 4/6 carriers next year. I have planted the bate in the production office and I am waiting for them to bit. I will post more later. The Royal Tournament is well and truely back !!!!

I took part in it in about 1985 as a young squadie. The main thing that stands out in my mind form it was the smell of horse crap etc .
