We were invited by the Paris Military Collectors Group to have a look at their vehicles stored in some large sheds loaned to them by the Defence Department. Henri, who is known to many in Oz and who went on the 2005 trip to Alice Springs, escorted us through the Paris traffic to their sheds.
There was a large variety of vehicles ranging from Dragon Wagons down to pushbikes and they were very impressive. They also had Sherman tanks, one with a new old stock engine.
Their club members meet there regularly to carry out work on their own vehicles as well as the club vehicles. They were very hospitable to us and made us feel very welcome. We were treated to lunch and drinks.
It was a magnificent collection and we were all very envious.
