Held on the last weekend of June every year, this year the
week leading up to the show was unbearably hot but the show weekend was quite
cool fortunately. At least it was dry. Friday night we suffered a thunderstorm
which was fun in a marquee! This year we were at the opposite end of the display
line, near the public entrance which meant we had plenty of interest in the
tanks and our displays. We had to pay for the privilege of attending the show
but I think after the display we put on we should be able to come to a better
arrangement next year. We shall see. Thanks to Ann Fox for the photos.

| What a line up! |
We had a great range of models
at the show... |
...which made for a great
display. |
Jim had various dioramas on
display... |
...including his latest model,
a Kettenkrad. |

| The great thing about the
tanks is that you can get amongst the people and so they can appreciate them
for what they are. |
Dave's Firefly did actually do
quite a bit of running over the weekend. |
Garry's Tiger goes out for a
run (take the gun cover off before firing the gun Garry!). |
Howard's T34 amazes a little
one. |
Robin's Tiger complete with a
full complement of nodding dollys! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Johnny's Sturmtiger confuses
the crowds ("Surely the gun barrel's missing Mr?") |
Dave's King Tiger deafens the
public. |
This was Mick's first outing
with his Tiger and his first show with the UKTC. He was keen to do it all
again! |
Humpy takes his JP out for
some tank surfing... |
...and The Italian Job. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Just to prove a point Richard
hopped on for a ride which was great until... |
...whoops! The towing cable
gave way!!! |
Humpy's twins start to crush
cars by using teamwork. |
The Panther stands back and
watches while the JP goes for it! |
Is this the battle of belly's! |

Once again Mr Cusworth's
wicked sense of humour came out Wings and Wheels... |
|
...with a 1/6th scale wheel
clamp for an inconsiderably parked Tiger! |
