Default Mud and movies

The local MV club here in past years had the occasional mud bash trip in the bush . These days the precious Jeeps are deemed to be too valuable to treat this way . Get the MB or GPW muddy - Hell will freeze over before that happens again . Nowadays they are treated like show ponies , polished and pampered til they shine !

The Covanteer tanks . A Late night movie often screened here has people running around saving a rare bird called the TAWNY PIPIT . The film was shot in the UK during WW2 , it has some great close up scenes of Covanteer or similar tanks on training .
The army uses the birds nesting ground for training purposes .
Cannot think of the film's name ! Old age again .

Mike
