History comes alive in Winchelsea

[Ryan]

Here's some pics from saturday. The weather held for most of the day with only some light rain for the final ww2 reenactment.
I've never been to an event like this before and I must say I hope the winchelsea event is successful and continues. It was truly great. The way the vehicles and equipment was presented within their camps and dioramas was terrific. And all the reneactors in their gear and going through drills and such was engrossing.

Here's some more pics of the static displays. All the reenactments I captured on video.

Here's some pictures from today, sunday. Firstly of the church service held in the morning and of the reneactment in the afternoon. The weather was good for the crowd although a little cold and windy and I would guess there were twice as many people there today compared to yesterday.

Here are some more random pics of both sat and sun.

Hi Ryan,

Good photos, I recognise a couple of friends in the background. Incidentally it is nice to see that Daimler Dingo again, still looking good after seven years when I completed the restoration for its then owner. Shame it was not at Corowa, being British and all that

regards, Richard

Hi Richard, I had a great time. That Dingo really looked great up close. Would have been good to see it driving but while I was there it was static only.

Thanks Jack, look forward to meeting it again !

Well done with your Marmon Herrington, a very nice restoration

[jack neville]

Thanks Richard. Will probably take it again next year with all the final bits in place, (winch etc). Now working on a matching desert coloured 39 Ford 1 ton ute to compliment the Marmon. Ready for next year might be a bit ambitious but you never know.

It's on again this weekend.
I managed to catch a couple of hours there this afternoon and hope to go back tomorrow. Another great collection of vehicles, kit, diaromas and battles. Hope to get some photos tomorrow.
One thing I did like was the vehicle parade in the afternoon around the battlefield arena. Made me feel like I was at some UK event like tankfest or something ( well that's what I asume from reading magazines anyway. )
Always good when a Stuart tank throws up dust and dirt.
One day of it to go 10am to 4pm tomorrow!
