This was a two day convoy and one day static show around Norfolk and Suffolk to commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the US Army Air Force arriving in England. There must have been about 60+ vehicles involved over the weekend.
Fantastic , A verity of softskins with the best ones leading the pack Look at all those CCKWS !!!Tippers Cargos 352's 353's chevy's and dodges and all the rest what a convoy .
I'm not sure there will be another ever quite like this. 'Operation Bolero' was a one off, touring several of the old 8th AF bases. Whether the organising team does anything similar in the next couple of years is unknown. visit....... HMVF dot CO dot UK for a report and purchaseable picture CD of the event.
Thanks for getting back to me so fast.I will look on the web site for the info.I will be moving to Italy in 2 weeks time.I'm realy going to miss all this.Will still be coming back and visiting the usaaf airfield as often as poss.
Damn, this looks like WWII Army... Where and what was this operation for?

Do any of you remember the B17 flypast about 10 years ago maybe more, a fantastic experience.
I was up there about 10 weeks ago and can not believe this happened. Nice one!
