My last posting was Bovington and your posts brings back memories for me.

I used to drive Centurions and Conquers tanks, good fun for a 20 year old who was not old enough to vote at the time.

Great pictures! Thanks for posting them. Looks like a must-see event.
I remember the first re-enactment battle I went to where they actually had tanks - one Sherman and one Hetzer. It was in Weldon Springs Missouri around 1980 or so. Somewhere I have super 8mm movies of it. No sound, just video. The Hetzer broke down and had to be towed out of the woods by the Sherman.
When I get my scanner working, I'll post some pictures of the "old days" of re-enacting.

Best Regards,
Mike
