Good idea Ed. Are youngsters required to bath in hydraulic fluid and break track before they can participate?

[Ed Storey]

What fun would it be if you cannot get your kids to perform the basic maintenance on an AFV. Nothing harmful about vehicle fluids, little grease and oil would be good for them.

Just home after the morning show. Plenty of familiar faces from MLU and from the Cold War Collection. The highlight (for me) was to see and feel the M3 Lee running up and down the gravel back lane. If you have heard an M113, you will remember the squeaks and clicks. The M3 has none of those noises.
