Bank holiday Monday, the nicest day weatherwise so far in the Easter holidays, what do you do? Jump in the jeep and head off to Portsmouth! To Fort Nelson on Ports Down Hill to be more precise.
The Royal Armouries Museum there was holding a "World War 2 Weekend". Displays, demonstrations, talks and reenactors - very good too! I especially liked the firepower displays - 25pdr artillery, 105mm gun carriage, rifles of all types, sub machine guns and machine guns. The rifle and machine gun displays were done by some excellent reenactors who had clearly gone to a lot of trouble - well done to them. There was also time for a good look round the museum of artillery and the Fort itself.
The jeep was parked up outside the Fort with a good number of MV's from the local area, it looked very well.
A 40 mile round trip, great weather, great driving, excellent event and still time to get back to the local for a couple of pints before tea

Some photos of the event - but sadly, not very good ones

Today the canvas top came off and because the weather was so nice, the windscreen came down too.
Amazing feeling, hacking along at 40 with the air rushing hard against your face and chest, eyes watering behind the sunnies and a big grin on your face

Engine running smooth, oil pressure 50, falling to 30 under load at 10 at idle, temperature steady at 140 degrees - apparently it should be 180 degrees but I'm happy.

Beautiful driving and so much quieter than having the tent up and all flapping around.

I took some pics to record the event - the dog got in them again somehow????
