In late March, the Deutsches Panzermuseum at Munster put on display its newly-acquired Tiger 1, the seventh of the breed in the world and the only one in Germany. We understand that it was constructed from salvaged parts as a static exhibit and is currently missing many of its vital internal organs.

This year sees the 60th anniversary of the Morris Minor Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV), a milestone which will be celebrated at the Heritage Motor Centre on 10-11 August. An event is being organised by the Minor LCV Register, which is dedicated solely to the preservation, use, restoration and historical study of all Minor LCVs (both Austin and Morris) in any condition and wherever they are.

It is hoped that the two-day event will host the largest-ever gathering of Minor LCVs in preservation in one place. Alongside ex-GPO/PO vans in all variants and liveries, the organisers expect to attract a gown van, a Minor milk float, various caravanettes, an ice cream van and, of course, military Minors.

Among the vehicles booked to appear at the Yorkshire Wartime Experience (www.ywe-event.info/ ), 5-7 July 2013, are two particularly interesting vehicles, say the organisers, a 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III that was used by Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery during and after WW2, and a Vickers-Carden-Loyd Utility Tractor also from 1936.

Old Buckenham Airfield, Norfolk, is delighted to announce that it’s new military event, Military Revival (4-6 October 2013), has agreed an alliance with Bunker Bash, one of the UK’s most popular military shows. Bunker Bash has been held for the last six years, attracting huge crowds and filling 17 acres with military displays. In 2013 the show is taking a well-deserved break and putting its efforts towards ensuring Military Revival is a success.
