MV's lost in Amsterdam fire
Yesterday morning I was on my way to a scale modelling event and I saw a big cloud of smoke coming from Amsterdam. In the evening I learnt from the news that a number of sheds were lost.
This morning I learnt that one of the sheds was owned by people of the Dutch Military vehicle club "Keep them Rolling" and that several MV's and tons of spares were lost in the fire. I have heard different stories. some say Jeeps and Dodges, others say Jeeps, a Kubelwagen, Schwimmwagens and an Opel Blitz.  Alex

Really bad news indeed!
This is the site where many a Tuesday evening was spent swapping strong stories, coffee and parts. This is a great loss to the people involved and to KTR, as this site was really the cradle of the club. H.
