The Virginia Museum of Military Vehicles had it's open house last weekend. Jobert, Jay and I where there as Philippine Scouts. There were a lot of tanks and armoured vehicles in working condition displayed this year. Our favorite of course were the M3 Stuart tank and the three Bren gun carriers. Here's one of the carriers. More pictures to come.

Greetings Gentlemen, Don, Jay and I attended the VMMV open house this past weekend. It was a beautiful day. The sun was out and the temperature was very comfortable. We arrived around 10AM. We were pleasantly surprised to see the M3A1 Stuart displayed outside and Don's most sought after Bren Gun/Universal carrier. There were 3, yes 3 Bren Gun/Universal carriers. We hope that you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed being in them. Don and I in front of the OD Bren Gun/Universal carrier. On the move in the Bren Gun/Universal carrier.

Wow! Great pictures of tanks and all. I especially like the Spetnaz with the BMP-2. How often do they hold this kind of event? Post more pictures please!

Greetings Gentlemen, Hi, Joseph! How have you been? The VMMV open house is held once a year. I've attended this show before. However, this is the second year that we've attended as Philippine Scouts. Here are some more pics as requested. Ingat. Jay with the Desert Bren Gun/Universal Carrier With the Scorpion tank With a 105mm Howitzer Don with the M5 Stuart Milspec

Thanks Rudy and Philip. No I did not use any tripod. It was my daughter Kathryn taking the pictures. We didn't plan that shot, we were just on the way back to the parking lot.
