Not to mention Carl Brown's running M4A4 Multibank powered Sherman which I
had the pleasure to assist straining on the idler adjusting wrench (they're
still a bit slack) and have my head inside the engine compartment - running.
The 18T Famo owner does also have restored as new German armour and had
promised several things including his Panther but ultimately didn't bother
to bring it.
The original question was "what is Beltring ?" and this is almost
unanswerable briefly, suffice to say walking the lines of vehicles is a two
day job at least without stopping to chat and its not a selection of jeeps,
jimmies and Dodges. . . . . . . . . . . I'd guess well over 3000 MVs but
Nigel probably has a more accurate figure and of course any number of MV
list people in person, Hi John.
Don't take our word for it, you need to be there.
