Default liberation parade

Maurice its all about small time club mentality...I have came across it many times even here in the UK.....we are lucky here in the north of the country that we have so many great ambasadors..i.e.Tom Bewick with the Ford and Denny Thomson with the Matador prepared to travel great distances to honour our veterens...I recall one time in Eindhoven Denny and I where stopped by the Burgomiester and given a silver medal each...he said he was so pleased to see a British vehicle in the midst of so many vehicles from the USA!Its like Arnhem there's more make believe wanabee Paras there than ever served in the Airborne!cheers malcolm PS cant see Dirk or Stephen leting anybody take the P**s out of them.

I watched the program on the Apeldoorn parade on the national TV and a good friend was in Apeldoorn to give a "live" report.
For purists the parade definately was disappointing. Just as expected....Canadian vets in 101 AB Dodges. There were a few Commonwealth vehicles around, even a very nice C15A, but they were largely outnumbered by American Dodges, GMC's and US Chevy's.

It didn't seem to bother the vets though; they were having a great time.
