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

Some great pictures. In the first one I think thats our MP jeep in the background (the 40s one not the more modern one). Was a great day out, I was the 101st MP wandering around with the 3 British Provost redcaps.
