Hi folks, just a quick note to all of you that managed to make it !
We had 10 carriers plus the Loyd and the Polish Tankette and covered pretty much all the manufacturers. Maybe we can arrange it again in a few years and get more ! It was a real pleasure meeting the guys we talk to on here face to face to face, especially the ones from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Hope to catch up with you all again soon. See you all next year ! Andy ![]() When I can work out how to reduce the size of photos I will post on here, meantime they are on facebook !

I still have the carrier smile as we are calling it. Once you drive the carrier you can't but help have the smile. They are such an honour to drive. It was great to see all the carriers out. My crew and I had a great time and was delighted to break a few records at the show. Main one being two and a half laps of the arena, usually have had a problem at the one furlong mark! Didn't know carriers could do a tail out slide but saw Ben do one and so we followed. Look forward to seeing more photos and it was good to put faces to names of the NZ and Canadian contingent. Andy thanks for your arena work and whisky!

Just a thought, how many of the carriers from W & P are on the XXX Corps run ?
As long as I have fixed the F30 akle I will be carrying 43 Recce kit ! And if not fixed will need some classy transport !
