wings and wheels - oldtimer wheels!

And I'm talking really old... WWII-period!

Next to the wings section, the largest part of the "show" is the reinactment of the wartimes, including the vehicles...

I'm not an expert on these things, but these looked special or historical!

There were Brits - RAF, look at that!

Nice pictures Omag. Just for info, it is not a Sherman, but an M22 Locust.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

An Austin K2 Auxiliary Towing Vehicle. Thought it looked familiar. One was based at Shoreham when I was a lad. :) http://www.fire-engine-photos.com/picture/number1376.asp

I once built a model of the first German tank shown... can't remember what it's called.
