Support troops
and vehicles entering the arena...
|
|||
|
With 'Martha
and the Vandellas' blaring loud over the tannoy, the American GIs enter
the arena, swigging beer, to carry out a routine patrol in Viet Nam...
|
|||
| A blinding flash and a napalm strike is swiftly followed by some local Vietnamese resistance arriving on the scene, taunting the Americans with flares, throwing beer cans and generally making a nuisance of themselves... | |||
|
They are hotly
pursued by the GIs, whose commands can be heard over the tannoy, as support
arrives...
|
|||
|
and they
are eventually caught, wrestled to the ground, and arrested, much to
the delight of the crowds of spectators on the banks of the arena...
|
|||
|
The Axis forces
later take on the Allies in a battle for ground up and down the arena...
this is Normany 1944...
|
|||
|
When it's
all over, even though blank rounds are used, all weapons are checked and
double checked before leaving the arena...

Elsewhere around the show ground, there are lots of other things happening... Click here to see more pictures of Saturday... |
