During fording too much water came into the hull (One should close all holes before fording...) and into the cooling air fan. To prevent damage of the fan, I had to stop the engine.

The "Twickenham-Offroaders" tried to tow the Kettenkrad out of the mud pit with their REO truck. At the first try the rope broke and the Kettenkrad rolled back into the pit, deeper than before.

The second try was successful. After I had drained the hull, I could restart the engine without problems. But...

A clean job was necessary...


In July 2002 I went to the WAR & Peace Show at Beltring again. For the last time.

Unfortunately the War & Peace Show is distant history today (2025). After new management in 2015 (Rex Cadman retired) and a temporary change of the venue to the horse race circuit at Folkstone (2013-2016), Covid did the final strike.

The last War & Peace Show took place in 2019. An attempt to revive the show in 2023 has failed.
RIP.
