People may be interested in the entrants paid and signed up for the Normandy trip from Australia and New Zealand:

Harley WLA !!!!
Studebaker 6X6
Chevrolet 3 Ton 4X2
Dodge 1/2 Ton WC
Morris Radio Van
Jeep 3 of
GMC 1 Ton Panel Van
Chevrolet C15A Radio Van
Chevrolet C15A
Chevrolet C15

We have a Dodge 3/4 Command Car, Lynx, Dodge 3/4 WC and 2 more Jeeps as probables at this stage. That's about as many as I can handle.

Not bad for a year out!

The Normandy convoy is well and truly full. Despite my better judgement I allowed the numbers to run out to 18 vehicles. There are 5 on the waiting list and more inquiries each day.

We have 3 Kiwis with the rest Australians (although there is a Dutch Australian planning to park his jeep in Holland at the finish).

We had enquiries from Canada and several other countries about joining but most could only come for part of the time which was not in the plan.

If the interest is there I am considering another trip in say, September 09, starting in Northern Europe and doing WW1 area, Normandy, Italy, Greece but going via Gallipoli to Istanbul to finish. Drop me an email if you are interested and I will see if the numbers justify planning.

I will do a full list of vehicles going to Normandy shortly.

A further update on the Normandy trip. We now have a growing list of reserves and I am more seriously thinking of a reverse trip in September finishing in Istanbul (via Gallipoli).

Quite a nice variety of vehicles - only 6 jeeps. When everyone gets their photos to me I will put them up here.

The British Military Vehicle Trust have massaged the Normandy bookings to allow us all to camp at Etreham. Having been in this campground before it is very pleasing.

Here are a few photos of the Normandy convoy. As can be seen there will be a number of newly restored vehicles on the trip.
