Beltring 2007
Well what can we say about Beltring.
It Rained
It was very muddy
We had the Bren Gun Carrier on Display.
Paul arrived on Tuesday as the Carrier was transported down to the show. We parked her in our display area which had been saved for us ( a very big thanks to Gregg and the living history field team).
On Wednesday night Ieuan and Michael turned up and John and Rob turned up latter when we where in the beer tent.
Lee turned up on Friday and so did Phil
Alan turned up on Saturday.
So the group was ready for action.
If you look at the photo`s you will notice that in some she is just plain green in others she has her mickey mouse camo on this is because we painted the camo on in display on site.
We decided to dig some trenches, areas where planned and shovels where at hand, but due to needing space to move the bren carier in and out of display, we decided one was enough.
Once it started raining most of our display was under cover.
Soon the mud was getting deeper and it soon became a mud bath outside the display.
I would like to thank all the boys in the group for helping with the carrier.
A BIG thanks to the German groups for allowing us in their displays to take some photos and also to the 29th American group for letting us near their display of the V2 rocket
Also big thanks to John Norris for mentioning us in Gun Mart (October issue). We also got a photo of us in Skirmish.
In the photo below you can see the carrier in plain green, you can also see the boys starting to dig the trench.
Well it was the 25th Anvs show and i think it was one of the best
We had a great time, especially riding around in the carrier and sliding around the corners with it.
Here is a very small film of us leaving the display, the reason why it is so short is because the person filming us was also the Cqrriers escort and so had to walk in front.
( Film to Follow)
Well we all went shopping and spent to much money and we all spent the night in the beer tents spending to much money but then again thats Beltring for you.
