Is anybody going to the War and Peace Show at Paddock Wood in Kent?

Probably heading over there on the Sunday, its local to me. Theres already a lot of vehicles and kit gathering in the area, spotted a couple of tanks being trailered in this morning, and a sodding great big Ural truck heading out for supplies. Could be a bit muddy this year, then again there was an impromptu mud wrestling competition the other year when it rained.

We will possibly be going on Saturday depending on the conditions underfoot. We have friends that went yesterday to set up as they stay for the whole week. They have a 7.5 ton truck and were towed in by a Manitou fork lift. They run the radio controlled tanks. Apparently the walk ways are like the Somme at the moment.
