On Sunday Dennis and I went to see a Military Vehicle display in our local area. For part of his National Service he was out in Korea, with the Royal Army Service Corps. and we managed to buy a replacement cap badge for the one he'd lost (or I'd lost!!), also a black beret to display the badge when he goes on parade with the North East London Korean Vets. Association.
He was delighted to see this lorry, having driven a similar one whilst serving in Korea. Then double excitement when we saw the gun as he'd been responsible for a similar one, again in Korea.
The lorry is an AEC Matador.
World War 2 favourite....The Spitfire.
Model tanks.
Radio controlled medium sized model tank.
A real one, and what a cloud of dust that kicked up!!
This enormous vehicle, nick-named 'Little Chicken', did just one mile to the gallon, avoid following that up the motorway!!
