Classic Military Vehicle  |  CMV August 2013
I don’t know about you, but I always viewed the War &
Peace Show at Beltring as the epicentre of both the
show calendar and the UK military-vehicle scene in
general. Since this issue of CMV is published a few days
before its replacement (for want of a better word), The
War & Peace Revival, I’m about to find out whether that
remains the case. I’ve no reason to think that W&PR
won’t seamlessly take over the W&P mantle, but what
do I know?
Well, one thing I do know is that this month sees
another cracking issue filled with the usual huge variety
of subjects. The CMP heavy utility has always been a bit
of a favourite of mine and I’ve been meaning to feature
Rick Curtis’s wireless version for some time. He’s had it
donkey’s years although it looks like it was restored last
winter, probably because it doesn’t see the light of the
show arena as much as his turretless M5A1.
I’m not quite such a fan of the Land Rover (you can’t
like everything equally can you?) but I couldn’t resist
the trio of ex-British Army Landies that members of the
Ulster Military Vehicle Club brought over to last year’s
W&P. I held the piece over for a few months because
of the unrest in Belfast earlier this year, something
which illustrates that MV enthusiasts in Ulster have
considerations that the rest of us need not spare a
thought for.
Also in this issue is the last episode of Nigel Watson’s
series The Carrier Story, while Paul Hazell’s Project
ACRT rolls on as he sources a few bits of missing
equipment and prepares the body for paint. Fairly
obviously, the ACRT
won’t be at W&PR,
but we will; CMV
has a stand placed
strategically between
the grandstand
and the arena
where you’ll find all
manner of deals on
subscriptions and
back numbers. As for
me, I’ll be slogging
round festooned
with cameras as
usual. Hope to see
you there.
