Armitice day in NZ
This weekend Armitice was once again commemorated in a small North Island town called Cambridge. who's sister Le Quesnoy in France was liberated by the 3rd New Zealand Rifle Brigade in 1918. Its a 2 day affair with activities ranging from a victory dance, militaria market, MV parade,and re-enactments groups which are a real crowd pleaser, each year this event is becoming larger, it was good to see so many varieties of vehicles from horse to the latest imported tracked armour. So heres a few pics for those interested...

 : Thanks for the update on what appears to be a great way to draw attention of Remembrance Day. Was the M113 for sale, or had it just been bought?

m113
Hi tony, I'm not sure who brought the m113 along but it is one of the many that your contact has brought and was displaying 4 sale signs. I must admit I'd prefer to take the wife shopping in one of these instead !

Dave Ellery:
An international news shot, seen here near Toronto Canada, showed a naval vessel, off the shores of NZ, being blown up. Is there anything of historical importance about this event?

@Jon
I've been travelling around NZ and saw the F69 in Wellington Harbor before she was sunked. She's now a dive wreck. "The former HMNZS Wellington (F69), a Batch 3 Leander Class Frigate, will this Sunday become a living reef off the coast of Wellington, the capital and most vibrant city in New Zealand!" More infos on F69 Greetings from Christchurch NZ Chris

Armistice Day
For a small town it is quite an impressive display of heavy duty hardware.

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, and co-incidentally the Australian ship HMAS Canberra (named after the capital of Australia) has also just been decommissioned and is planned to be sunk off the East Coast as a diving attraction.

Hi Tony,
The M113 was on loan from the army museum waiouru! I don't think they will be to happy if they find out there best apc is for sale! Not a good move for others who may wish to "loan" vehicles in the future. Brent Delaney.
