If I meet him-I'm buying a Sherman.
I agree it would be nice to get in free (although I've only got an FFR landrover-I go to see the older stuff). But £25 is a drop in the ocean even compared to spares for my vehicle (and as I think Hanno said the price of getting there is the major factor), and if that's what it takes to make it a big show it's what I am willing to pay. I also think that at least some of the vehicles should have at least reduced entry. It would be intresting to see a breakdown of the public versus exhibitor takings.
On the reenactor front it would seem a good idea to get them digging quad bike traps and maybe putting up latrines and field showers instead of runing round like loonies.
On a different tack, where do you keep your vehicles-I'd love to get a FAT one day, but storage seem's the main problem.
