On Sunday I went to a local Living History event run by The Military Vehicle Trust. The MVT celebrated its 40th anniversary this year and is dedicated to the preservation & conservation of all forms of military vehicle. The MVT also raises money for ex service personnel and has close links to the British Legion.

The show was larger than I had expected and will almost certainly become a regular event in my calender.

Aside from lots of Living History groups there were also a group of veterans meeting and talking to visitors.

There were also a group of traders on the site. One item that caught my attention was this 1944 MP's helmet selling for just £30.

Another eye catcher was this PkwIII. I'm not sure if this was an origional or a replica but it certainly looked good.

I've posted the rest of
my pictures on Picasa.
That is a great looking PIII. Whose is it ? And is it a runner ?
