was here a member of 69th Field RA who took part in both days’
battles from the hilltop position overlooking most of the show area. A
25pdr and a Command Post set up also took to the arena on both
afternoons to give a demonstration of a calling for fire support by a
FOO (Forward Observation Officer).
The show
organised by Ken Pugh and Stuart Wright, enjoyed roasting weather,
and vehicles could be seen in a number of fields. There was a
particularly large US camp set up and a separate field full of MV of
all periods. Rare sights included the 1916 Albion, the Vickers
Carden-Lloyd, one of Monty’s Rolls Royces, an Alvis Tactica, a WW2
T34, an M36 Tank destroyer and a 1934 Austin 7 APD.
