War & Peace Show

war and Peace day tickets are £15 on the gate or £12 online - I've already booked for Saturday 21st....

 

Another gratuitous plug for a regular W&P attendee for you, Mike Gibb's rather spectacular SdKfz Foundation.

I enjoy the competition between the bigger budgeted collectors. From Wheatcroft Famo through fully provenanced PzJg.38t to Gibb Jagdpanther & Cadman's beautiful Staghound there definitely seems to be a friendly (?) competitive edge that does nothing but enrich the show circuit for me. All the most cutting edge private restorations seem to turn out for Beltring.

I hear a rumour (v. good source) that one of these gents has bought a second Pz.IV to go with his other that I watched break down c.5 years ago, fingers crossed this might mean they'll be able to cobble together a runner for this years show. Purely speculative but I do tend to get rather excited as the event approaches.anic: (I still reckon 1 day just isn't enough to see it all, I usually camp for 3 days and there's always stuff I miss)

Cheers,
Adam.

 

..thanks for the link again - although the site doesn't seem to have been updated for a while ...is the Jagdpanther at Beltring ?

 

Hope to see you again Adam - and maybe finally meet Martin!?

 

I really do hope so - I'll be arriving around 10:00 on Saturday morning and will make a special effort to look out for that stand this time.....

 

No worries - we won't have a coach this year, but we will have a Jeep. That doesn't help much, I know...

 

Are you near the entrance again, or are you likely to be elsewhere...?

 

Still waiting to here from my 'admin'...

 

Anyone wondering just how many trade stalls there are at Beltring this year may find this interesting....

You will need a stout, comfortable pair of boots.....

 

You guys seem to have oh so much fun in Europe.
