Men of Steel 2009
This Kiwi event ran to two days this year, held this last weekend.
Weather was perfect, and the venue superb. It was held in a big sand mine, with plenty of space and a good track and play area. Vehicles included the local Chieftain, M41, Valentine III, a Scorpion and a Scimitar, Abbott, two 432, two M113, BMP(?), Hotchkiss, a 251 replica half track and a US half track, and 5 carriers. Also a ferret and M8 armoured car. Forgot to add: M3 Stuart and Hotchkiss. Plenty of soft skins too. and a MASH chopper in action. Quite a few Kiwi MLUers were there, so no doubt there will be pics posted soon, once people get home. Rob Last edited by Rob Beale; 08-11-09 at 19:55. Reason: additions to list

Here are some pics:
Two Kiwi carriers: an LP2 as built in 1942, and an LP2A as used in the 1950s as a MMG carrier.
An M113A1 as sent to Bosnia in the mid 1990's A Universal Mk I Carrier A BMP doing the compulsory Car Crush! (The Chieftain was under mechanics care at the time. The BMP didn't have the weight to do the job as well as a MBT) Rob

A few more random pics. What a weekend! Didn,t know where to look, where to point the camera & what to drive next! I think my highlights were driving the Valentine & Diamond T, getting the Scammell stuck, playing a bit harder in our carrier, meeting heaps of good buggers & basically everything else about the weekend! Roll on 2011, or when ever the next one is.

Awesome weekend. Couldn't have been better. I got a drive of a few carriers and the abott, but the hi-light was definitely driving the bayfield mule. It was an absolute laugh bouncing around in that thing with APC's cruising past and everyone pointing and laughing at us. ROLL ON THE NEXT TANK DAY!! Big thanks to the organisers and everyone that made it along.
