514th War & Peace photos

Post by mick.wilson »

Just put our web site photos up of our display at Beltring http://www.514th.co.uk/w&p2006.html
Hard to say what the best part for me was,
It would be a close call between the 31 truck Red Ball convoy or
the battles riding in on a Sherman tank operating the 50Cal and turret gun

Well for you guys thinking about it, the War&Peace show is 25 years old next year, and will be bigger and hopefully even better.

The Red Ball Convoy WILL surely happen again, so time to get planning. 18th - 22nd July, Paddock Wood, Kent.

So why not be part of it ? Let us know you're coming and we'll fix you up.

I am sure we could find a Jimmy for you to drive, and camp up in our display with us.

Always looking for more troops if any of you guys come over (especially one's with American accent's)
