Jeep & Vehicle Road Run Day 2021

Vehicle Run 2021
September 2021 Open Sunday

Even though petrol was a bit hard to find locally, around 50 vehicles went on the annual jeep & vehicle run this year. 

Such a turnout was much appreciated, especially after the recent lockdowns and restrictions.

Additional Attractions

Jeep Day 2019

The weather forecast was most unfavorable and we think it put off many visitors. However, in reality it was, on the whole, fine and was well attended by those who were not put off. We had a convoy of 32 vehicles and a group of re-enactors who camped for the weekend.This year the groups display was that of the military police.

We also opened our new nissen hut called the 'The Motor Pool Worshop'. This new display depicts a working repair and service workshop and also houses some of the vehicles we have here.

On the day, some lovely ladies came dressed up as Rosie the Riveter. Much fun was had by all.

It was also the day to show off the new gasoline station and it was set off by our Tanker Truck

Jeep Day 2018

We had a record number of vehicles this year - 61 we think in convoy. Quite a sight to behold. Travelling along the farm tracks and through several villages. Thank you to all those who cheered us on and also to the drivers and passengers who took part.

Our May vehicle run 2018 was most successful and again, the weather was extremely kind to us.

We had all sorts of military vehicles going around the farm tracks and much fun for all.

On May 28th 2017, following our previous successful convoys, we had another military vehicle run around the Farm tracks of Debach, taking approximately 1 hour. The weather was extremely kind to us and we had a record number of military vehicles taking part.We were also joined by a group of re-enactors who posed for us around our latest edition - a Maxson M45 Quad Gun Turret.

As an added bonus two years ago we celebrated the 70th Anniversary of V.E. Day and despite the rain, had a very good time. A selection of photos taken at the event are shown below and more are to be seen on Neal Murrays website at :-

JEEP DAY

The 2017 Jeep Day was a great success, breaking all previous records.We were blessed with fine weather and 49 military vehicles including a half track, went in convoy around the farm tracks and rural roads. Members of the public were numerous and they gathered to see the spectacle of the convoy and visit the various Museums.

Glenn, a friend of Brain Ward, flew his helicopter to film the convoy and we hope to bring you some pictures of his trip in due course. Just at this moment we haven't recieved any snaps but we are sure they will follow.

Open Day 2017

Below we are still showing pictures of the 2016 Jeep Day.

All vehicles were checked and double checked for performance on the day.

The tent was primarily put up to keep the dancers dry if we had rain. However, when the side was rolled up the wall was not high enough to view the dancers heads! The Excelsior Band from Woodbridge were amazing and they played many 1940 style tunes which created a wonderful atmosphere.

The South Staffordshire MVT group made our event even more enjoyable by travelling in their military vehicles to Suffolk, camping out for several days and joining the convoy.Our thanks also to Jordy, Steve and their group of re-enactors.

Our thanks to everyone who came along and we hope to see you all next year.
