Well, for better of worse, I've pre-booked my ticket to the event and will most likely be there on the first day. Have to say that I liked Beltring ( it just felt 'traditional' to me ) and view the change with misgiving, but we'll see................

I would like to do that drive someday. What are your typical highway speed limits? Out here in the Western states we can usually go 75 mph (120 kph). There is a new highway in Texas that has an 85 mph (137 kph) speed limit!

Most Highways in European Countrys are limited to 120 - 130 kmh.
Portuguese highways are limited to 120 but hardly no one respects that. You find most cars passing by at 140, 150 kmh, lol

Hows it going at The War & Peace show guys? Can anyone give us an update.Its been a scorcher today!!!!

[Martin Bull]

I have to say that somehow, I preferred the venue at Beltring. Getting into the place yesterday morning was rather chaotic ( and we'd pre-booked tickets ) but I guess that can be put down to new-venue glitches. However, Beltring just seemed well-integrated ; you could walk around and see everyting whereas the vehicle park at Folkestone seemed to sprawl forever ; we gave up in the heat.....

The stalls were rather disappointing, although that may well be due to the recession. I went home happy enough with an 8cm mortar round, V1 rudder post and good haul of MDASDA china plus a couple of decent books.

But I doubt whether I'll go again next year ; it'll be Ciney ( or something similar ) for me.............
