Well time is fast approching when we will be sitting in a field in Kent either covered in mud or dust. Looking forward to seeing anyone from the forum there , we are back on our normal plot on the living history field opersite the shower block. I wont have the Comet there this year but look out for the carrier (Puddle Jumper) or the Daimler armourd car (Fray Bentos 3rd ) i wont list the modern armour or you guys will stop talking to me ( yes Richie we are taking 2 CVR Ts so you can get excited !!! ).

So whos going then ???? And Kevin have you told your wife you are coming down yet ?

eddy8men · #5 06-07-11, 20:38

i'll be there in the carrier, shame you won't be taking the comet, i was planning on scrounging a cabby

Ben · #6 06-07-11, 20:54

Me too, see you there....

carrierbarry · #7 06-07-11, 23:00

Hopefully all being well with transporter I'll be there Friday, Sat & Sun with carrier.

Can't wait to see the carrier Rick well done. Will your Dad be with you?

Shall we all try and get into the arena together sometime Saturday, or perhaps we could gather somewhere for a photo shoot?

I'm afraid I'm only coming for a one day visit on Friday. Ron

hi barry
i wouldn't go congratulating me just yet on the carrier as there's still plenty to do but finished or not as long as it's still running i'll be there and hopefully the old fella will tag along for a day or two.
even though it's not ready i've foolishly booked it in for a show this weekend and it's down for the battle reenactments so even though i've got no rad or engine armour i'll have to go, so tomorrow night i'll be fabricating something from ply to at least look the part and make it safe to be in the back. i do wonder sometimes if this hobby was a good idea

is anyone up for a carrier race when we're down at beltring ? i reckon there'll be 5 or 6 carriers there and i don't mind stumping up for a crate for the winner, which of course will be me with my light weight ply armour

we can use it to put out the flames from yer ply engine covers hehehehe.

shaun · #11 08-07-11, 00:09

i didnrt realise De havilland made carriers as well !

eddy8men · #12 09-07-11, 00:15

the wooden wonder

thinking about it, it might look even better if i varnished it the same as they do with those classic italian motor boats.

RichardT10829 · #13 09-07-11, 11:44

ah yes some nice venere work would be just the job

how about a wallnut dash to go with it that would look awesome... you carrier could be the Gti spec of carriers.

carrierbarry · #14 10-07-11, 15:15

Just been sorting the carrier out all good for W & P. Thats the easy part. got to get transporter lorry MOT this week , hope she pass's.

All being well shall we all meet up at Shaun's corner 11.00Hrs Saturday ?

What do you guys think?

Barry

eddy8men · #15 10-07-11, 19:15

sounds good to me

Marc van Aalderen · #16 10-07-11, 22:58

Hi,

I'll be there but without the Carrier this year.

Cheers,

carrierbarry · #17 10-07-11, 23:10

Shaun is that ok with you matey, or would you prefer we meet elsewhere?

Seems like the best place to meet up for everybody with carriers or on foot. Perhaps we should meet up with Nigel help lunch his book.

Guys thats fine with me, we will have our big 18x24 tent up so if its wet there will be under cover space to chat.

paul visser · #19 11-07-11, 11:44

Hello Guy's,

I'll be there with the Loyd. Don’t know where our place will be, but there won’t be 10 loyd's i guess. We will bring 7 vehicles and a 40mm boforse.

Look for the banner with Collection '39 - '45 I’ll be there.

Would be great to meet you all there.

kevin powles · #21 12-07-11, 00:22

Hi Barry, What type of transport lorry do you run to carry the carrier?. Have you a couple of pictures of it, just interested to see what you have so perhaps i can go for the same.

thanks kevin.

carrierbarry · #22 14-07-11, 10:30

OK

Spread the word!!

Shaun's corner. (Living History Field opp shower block, Just as you come over bridge.)

Saturday 11.00 hrs
Don't be late!!

Bring the carrier or on foot!!

Someone tell Nigel and any carrier owners you may see at the show.

Barry

kevin powles · #23 15-07-11, 17:22

Richard, Did you manage to dig a tunnel down to norwich station ?. I will be leaving on Tuesday morning.

If any one who wants there carrier exhausts brought down to Beltring let me know, I know Barry does.

RichardT10829 · #26 15-07-11, 22:18

Shaun i know it is seriously lame ! i am still trying to figure out a one day hit and get down, but there is a lot going on (personal wise) up here at the moment so i am really struggling.

Marc van Aalderen · #27 15-07-11, 22:21

Hi Ritchie,

Should you be able to make it let me know please. I wont have to mail your speedo parts then. I will pm you my uk mobile number.

Cheers mate,

carrierbarry · #28 16-07-11, 18:46

Richard
Have you ever been down to the show?
If you go to one show a year it has to be this one!!

Barry

RichardT10829 · #29 16-07-11, 18:56

Barry i have never been to any military show....ever...... i know this one is the big cheese of MV shows so it only makes me more gutted that i cant make it down... plus the following facts:-

Nige is releasing his book !
Loads of members of the carrier family will be there !
Its a mint event !

Marc van Aalderen · #30 17-07-11, 16:01

Ok Richie,

Not this year but 100% next year. This will be 30th W&P, we are trying to get as many carriers as possible together for that show (as in a previous thread) and yours should be finished by then which makes it +1

Cheers,
