Show of the day: US -German fight
German howitzer
and boom... you can feel the pressure wave in you own ears. Plenty of noise and smoke.
Flame-thrower
the black smoke marks big blast
I was on the far side of the arena and the scene was partly hidden, so I have no other "action" photos, but in the final ride all machines several times went around the arena.

but this one is not original but made from Czechoslovak OT 810 which is quite usual way.
There is still enough of OT 810.

nice event
Wow, vypadá to jako parádní akce. Já mám v plánu již příští rok na Bláta, to je něco podobného . Tohle ale taky nevypadá vůbec špatně :)
Určitě je to akce jiného charakteru Bahna a Tankový den. Tady je zblízka na okruhu vidět historická technika a jsou tam i dost vzácné kousky.
