steve fuller Posted 16 June , 2018 Share Posted 16 June , 2018 Hi all, Sandy Town Council in Bedfordshire are staging a centenary event and would like to include a physical display / stand(s). I believe they initially liked the idea of a vehicle, presumably for the impact, but I cant imagine there are many 100 year old vehicles available outside of national museums, so any displays may help to add flavour to their event? Any ideas, suggestions, etc. please? Many thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 16 June , 2018 Share Posted 16 June , 2018 Do the folks at Old Warden (the Shuttleworth Collection) have anything - they at least would be reasonably close? It has been decades since I was there but I seem to recall vehicles of various types in amongst the aircraft. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Nice thought Chris; I have dropped Regimental Museum trustees a line as I believe one of them has a personal connection to the site but I'll pass that idea on in the meantime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not involved but was asked and said I'd ask around on here. Thanks, I'll pass the info on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 18 June , 2018 Share Posted 18 June , 2018 "Raster Scanning" (John W.) and Piper (Richard S.) both have nice collections of photographic images. Piper's focuses on the Highland Division's time in Bedford and most are shown here I believe he worked with Bedford Library on their recent display. Raster has photos from all over Bedfordshire relating to WWI -- they may be folks to contact -- although neither seem to have been frequent visitors to the forum in recent months Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
