doobietoo Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 So this is going on in our village over the weekend, http://heyevent.uk/event/vpjjki5yxfv7ya/broadmayne-d5-with-armour-embarkation-2016 I will be wandering down tomorrow more out of curiosity than anything else as I am not really into army stuff. Any tanklickers want me to throw up a few pics of what trundles past...?? Uncle Jimmy and Sheefag 2
spartacus Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Um, yeah, if it's not too much bother. I'm not a full on tank licker but I do find then interesting. I can recommended the tank museum at Bovingdon for a good day out.
doobietoo Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 went out last night for a wander round as I do and was met by surreal scenes in the village, many of our local residents have put up flags and union jack bunting and there were lots of people walking around in WW2 uniforms and suchlike..... I walked home with the "timewarp" music playing in my head.There is a 40s dance going on at the village hall so expecting even more dressing up tonight....
AlabamaShrimp Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I'd like some pictures as well please. These kind of thing are interesting but I don't know it does seem a bit strange. Like why do most of them dress up as Americans?
doobietoo Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 Because most of the troops and armour stationed around here was American I guess.....
Uncle Jimmy Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Kinda surreal. If it was near I'd go along and ask some dumb questions.
AlabamaShrimp Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Because most of the troops and armour stationed around here was American I guess.....But round here they weren't and people still do the same. Not saying it's a bad thing it's just something I don't get.
doobietoo Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 In order only as far as they came past, I have no idea what they are so feel free to add details .... more to come.... AlabamaShrimp and eddyramrod 2
doobietoo Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 There is nothing to beat the smell of unburnt fuel in the air..... Skizzer, KruJoe, AlabamaShrimp and 1 other 4
AlabamaShrimp Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Thanks for the pics. Never seen an armoured jeep like that one and both those M3 and an M5 tank
billyboy406v6 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 They are all dressed as Americans, cos they won the war everyone knows that ! Great pics of some very interesting stuff. Not a tank licker but like old stuff.
