Some of our forum members in action. Armor driving on pulic roads...always a treat

Delden's historic centre was returned to 1945 style...no "modern" cars allowed, people in period fashion and flags everywhere. Nicely done!

Rare T975....let's hope we'll see some Canadian markings on this one soon.

Here's another Ambulance Jeep in Canadian livery. Nice to see Jeeps in "other than 82AB Div" markings....

Wireless Operator of RCCS at RCA (5th Armoured) HQ in Groningen in April 1945.

I believe this was in the local School.

Not sure what the little armoured thingy is behind the chap in the pic.

Photo from my collection of 5th RCA/RCCS material.

Hope it is of interest

Following the Maple Leaf Up route, Assen, 2015. Driving the RNLA historic collection’s Chevrolet CGT during the Final Push event was quite an experience.
