Thursday 28th June
 |
After
only about 20 minutes drive from our holiday camp site, we arrived at
Bolero HQ around noon on Thursday 28th June, and spent another 2 hours
setting up our tent and getting the Jeep off the trailer.
While quite windy, it was bright, sunny and
warm. Several vehicles were already there plus a small but growing
camp, based around two of the wartime 'Frying Pan' dispersals on the
North side of Parham Airfield.

| As
the afternoon slipped into evening, further vehicles arrived, boosting
the numbers of vehicles to around a third of the expected entry. Some
vehicles were driven, others brought on trailers ranging from small to
tank transporters.
Others weren't so lucky, and one or two
entries had mechanical failures on the way to the event, both in WW2
and modern vehicles.

Some
of the tracked vehicles were there or arrived on Thursday too. The
Sherman was there when I arrived, and a Halftrack delivered late in
the day.
I was a little
disappointed to hear the Sherman wasn't going to be on the 65 mile
drive on Saturday, but I'm guessing without selling off a small
country, Adrian couldn't afford the fuel for that!!
