An update from the 69th Field Regiment Display :

For anyone thinking of owning a classic military vehicle, maintenance is key. We have been working on the equipment we are taking to Foxfield. Fortunately we have the use of JMA Transports yard. Everything has been washed down, but the main focus of our attention has been stripping and cleaning the breach mechanisms of our guns to ensure smooth reliable operation. We also have additional components to add to the 6 pdr anti tank guns sighting mechanism. As these are cast components, a certain degree of adjustment is required.

This years event takes place on May 18/19th!
