This weekend I helped out at the local Armistice Weekend event (You should
all know what Armistice Weekend is about), unfortunately I didn't bring a
camera and stayed there the whole weekend, so no photos. I got a ride in the
Bren Carrier and a mechanical mule, I got to wear some Roman centurions
armor too. They also had 1:16 scale RC tanks, I unfortunately didn't get
round to telling the guy about our tanks. There was a great turn out, the
chief of the army even turned out (Since NZ has 4 million people in it,
that's not actually that much of an achievement). On site we had:

2 Cromwell tanks
1 Centurion tank
2 Bren Carriers
A bunch of half ton trucks
A Wehrmacht Motorcycle
A No. 5 Gun (Artillery)
A Humvee
A M-113, modified to have corrugated armor on the sides and an enclosed
turret.
A Greyhound
A M-2 half-track
Some of the army's Bushmaster IMVs
A German WWII Half-track

We also had a Bell 47 Sioux fitted for M*A*S*H and a Hughes 500 dressed as a
OH-1, we also had a Super Sea Sprite on the Saturday.

I'll follow up with anything I've missed.
