War & Peace Show 2009 (uk)

[bigduke6]

Just to remind and inform anyone about the War & Peace show at the Hop country park, Kent, UK, 22nd-26th July 2009.

I went last year for the first time, i expected a lot of displays and mainly military vehicles..., i was amazed, i didnt even see the vehicles, i spent 6 hrs walking around the trade stands, private dealers etc.
I can only describe it as the biggest car boot sale of anything to do with militaria, the only bad thing i can say, is i didnt have the time to see all the stands and even attempt to see the vehicles, there are many dealers from all four corners of the globe, i recommend it to anyone if you have the time. For details google "war & peace show" i myself will be travelling by train, very easy to get too and a bus runs from, Paddock wood station to the show ground, but i think i will be going home by hire car due to the fact i will have more cash on me this year.
2 examples from last year £40 for a repro set of pads for the No4T, also £20 for an original set !!!!!, i came home with both.
Some items are not on display and you may have to rumage through boxes etc to find some hidden jems, but they appear.
I will be there on the first day untill the gates close i may even stay for the night and continue to see the rest of the show, if anyone on the forum is going let me know would be good to put a few faces to the names.

Hard to say, think the weekend is more busy with familys, coach parties etc, i went friday last year, if your on your own, or a few going would say during the week, also depends on what your interest is, see the web for the day to day advents, i,m going just for the trade stands and the milsurp stuff...
