Default What a blast!

We three Kiwis enjoyed ourselves at War and Peace. The hospitality of Shaun, Steve and Brian was appreciated. It was great to meet Ben and Ritchie at last after following their posts and seeing the results of their efforts.

For the record we counted 15 carriers including the Carden Loyd and Polish Tankette and Nigel's 3" mortar carrier project.

Watch this space as we in New Zealand are challenging the Aussie carrier record from the 2005 Corowa Year of the Carrier!
So far we have 31 carriers coming to the Wings over Wairarapa airshow in January next year. There will be a range of carrier variants including the two original Bren survivors!

Rob

Looks like a good time for all. Sorry I couldn't make it. Did any of the show awards go to Carriers this year?
