To complete this documentary we visited the Dorset Steam Fair, where a vast collection of military vehicles are deployed and put through their paces every year. These included a 1972 Alvis Saracon Armoured Personnel Carrier Mark 6, a 1968 Alvis Saladin Armoured Car Mark 2, and a beautifully restored 1938 Morris-Commercial Quad, Limber and 25 Pounder. We also visited Boxted Airfield in East Anglia, where again we were spoilt by another selection of rare vehicles, plus, as a bonus, there was an excellent flying display of a 1/6 scale B17 Bomber. Lastly, as a special feature, we show you footage of a Ford Sussex Barrage Balloon Lorry restored by Eddie Smith who is President of the East Anglian Fighting Vehicle Group, who also kindly helped with the commentary on this programme.
