last weekend, i went to Ursel in East-Flanders to visit the annual Wings & Wheels event.
at the show, there was not only a display of over 300 military vehicles from World War 2 to the Present day, but also re-enactments of certain conflicts, a large militaria market and various other activities.
aside from the many vehicles, there were also a few aircraft, aside from the local Pipers and kitplanes, there wre also 2 visiting ex-RAF S.A. Bulldogs and a Fieseler Stork.

here are a few pictures, the rest can be found on my website.

Nils. Got any more pics of this little monster?  My dad would be interested in building it in 1/76th scale  ;D

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

i dont have anymore info or pictures on that.
what i can say is that this is a trainer version of the Scorpion/Scimitar.
the Belgian Army converted 24 scorpions/scimitars into this configuration, replacing the gun turret with a drivers cabin.
it was used to train CVR(T) operators for the ABL, until the CVR(T) was withdrawn from use in the 90's.
