Default 70th Liberation remebrance events: Carrier spotting

During Dutch National televised coverage on one portion of the 70th Liberation remebrance events, this one in Wageningen on May 5th, 2015, there is an opportunity to see what is possible when there is heartfelt will to recognize and remember significant historical events. About minute 1hr:33min a young lady drives a Dingo along the parade route towards the reviewing stand. She is following a MK-II* Universal Carrier, which is towing a 6 pdr AT gun.

The carrier driver is an MLU member, the Dingo driver is one of his family members. While there is a unplanned stop in the parade, the carrier is in front of the reviewing stand. Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, and her husband, Mr. Pieter van Vollenhoven, walk from the reviewing stand along with the Canadian Minister of National Defence, Mr. Jason Kenney. They approach the carrier and spend minutes speaking with the driver and Canadian guest passengers.

Good job Marc and Pauline.
