Debrief
I have barely recovered from the event - what a fantastic experience it was!
Will post more photos and videos later, but for starters here is one of me and Jim Burrill who travelled all the way from the USA to sleep in a small tent and ride in an 80 year old armoured car for nearly two weeks. Hats off to you Jim! It was great meeting you and hope to do so again in the future.

What a fantastic video and some lovely vehicles! I just wish that such technology to capture the event had been available back in 1985 when I was on a similar tour with John Marchant.

Nice to see that particular aerial base on the side of that HUW, Ed!

Morris
I spotted a Morris-Commercial PU8 in the parade, in front of a Standard Tilley. Or am I seeing things. Does anybody know who owns the PU8 ?
The tanker outfit suits you Hanno

Ed, John's HUW is now owned by a Dutch MLU member who has been busy restoring it for the past few years. The HUW made it's first appearance again at this years Race to the Bridge in Arnhem. IMG_20240914_140941.jpg IMG_20240920_162139.jpg IMG_20240920_162128.jpg IMG_20240921_161959.jpg IMG_0901.JPG
