My World War 2 visit to Lyta's school has become an annual trip now. This was the third year I've done it. The Year 6 class are just starting to learn about WW2, and what better way than some hands on learning.
We had talks about rationing and the Blitz, the 8th Air Force and a British Airborne soldier's equipment.
Mr Barrass, Deputy Headteacher, was taking the year 6 class today, so I felt he should get in on the action, and suitably dressed him
up in flying kit, and later gave him some 'off roading' experience in the Jeep around the school field! |

When I got home, the Jeeps were given a wash down to get the grass off from the school field, and the mud off Jessie from the BBQ last weekend. |

Afterwards, I stripped the roof and sides off Jessie ready to be parked up on Hope's side of the garage for winter maintenance. There's been a few starting issues I want to look into, and a number of areas of rust that need dealing with. A couple of these will require welding close to the tank, so the fuel tank will have to be removed. So Hope is still accessible for the rest of the year on the right of the garage, while Jessie is now off the road. | ||
