Vintage Military Vehicles at Firepower
Home This small website is dedicated to provide photographs and interesting additional information for those interested in Vintage Military Vehicles. On a number of specified weekends throughout the year Firepower, The Royal Artillery Museum in South East London, host the attendance of privately owned vehicles formerly used by the Armed Forces, many former artillery vehicles. Annually the weekend of the February School half term is one such event, and later in the year vehicles visit for special activities, such as firing a Royal Salute. Details can be obtained from the main web site www.firepower.org.uk A major supplier of vehicles and displays is The Garrison, based in Tilbury Fort, Essex www.thegarrison.org.uk and the Invicta Military Vehicle Preservation Society (IMPS) www.imps.org.uk If you have a preserved military vehicle, of any period, and would like to attend a future show, please contact us at: firepowervintagevehicles@zoomshare.com Remember the last vehicle weekend in February 2008 saw 40 vehicles draw up outside Firepower in glorious summer like weather. We had a grand time. and this is illustrated in the photographs. The oldest operational vehicle on our Parade is now from 1929! It is probably unlikely to be called back into active service!
