Military vehicle parts suppliers in France and Belgium

[Big D]

Hi all,

My wife and I have organised a trip to Europe in June to coincide with the 70th Anniversary of the D Day landings (yeeha!).

We will be staying at a Bed and Breakfast in Normandy for 7 days before travelling on to Belgium, Holland and Germany and then returning to France and staying in Paris.

I wanted to take the opportunity to visit some of the military vehicle parts suppliers and military surplus stores in France and Belgium while we were there.

I have heard there is still a lot of NOS parts with suppliers in France and Belgium and I thought I might be able to pick up some parts for my White M3A1 AOP Scout Car restoration. I'm also interested in any of the general military surplus stuff that might be over there.

I was wondering if anyone can give me some names of places and dealers that are 'must sees' along the way.

Does anyone know of any dealer or supplier there in particular who might have White Scout Car parts?

I'm aware there are some good swap meets in and around St Mere Egliese and Carentan over the June period around the celebration times so will also be checking them out.

Any ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks.
