The weather was bad, an lot of rain
However because of the muddy conditions, this also resulted in some nice mud trowing picture's Laughing

Also been there but sadly without the Priest, who should be there. Some discusions at the Brussels museum prevented us taking the Priest there ( sad story Crying or Very sad

).

Seen all of that, and a Chaffee from the Cavalerie museum, the Pz 68/88 from Zwijndrecht armour cars, a humber a lot of half tracks.

Maybe we should start a tread for who is going to what meeting, so we could meet for a drink and a lot off talking.

i can already say that I'll be at Tank in Town this year. I only hesitate between a French WW2 "Fusiliers Marins" uniform (as seen on M10 TDs from the RBFM)

or a Soviet one with PPSh and pilotka.

If you show up like an Russian soldier, you surely will be noticed

I don't think there will be an lot of them going around in Western Europe

Bob, Bob, Bob....you're forgetting the usual "soldier talk" that typically accompanies track maintenance (and pretty much any other uniformed undertaking). Wink

"Aalbert, my good fellow, would you please be so kind as to hand me the tanker bar if it's not too much trouble?"

I was today at the new Canadian Allied Forces Museum in Groningen.
Not that many AFV's but I found a M47 Patton and a Marmon Herrington.
