Discussion or not, this is one great set up and photo. It really jumps out at you and is so realistic with all of the drums, jerry cans and other tiems laying around with the truck in the background. It is fantastic. Thanks.

Oh for a wide angle lens!, what you cant see in detail is the M16 Half Track, far right, the 1943 40mm Bofors AA gun mid right, and the "convoy" of four/five deuces off-screen to the left, parked up by the WC63.

I know as I was flattered to be asked to be part of it. My thanks to all concerned, a GREAT Weekend

No Rule...Good pictures with good interesting backgrounds get to be a "star" on the front page for a week.

I will accept a comment from the other side crying "foul".

You have to admit that his 352 is a darn good looking truck.....

I would encourage all to send me pictures of their trucks in action. Whether it be at a Reenactment, Event, Parade, Museum or just a "Bombed Out" building in your local Neighborhood.

I am however....still waiting for someone named "Jack" to send me his picture for the star page (not the red one) :D

Anyway I don't take the credit for this lot, they go firmly to the 514th QM and Sarg Mick Wilson.
