Ah yes the crusader the a2 the a1 and Matilda the crusader at the moment is at the moment by far my fave to look at but for driving it’s the firefly or t34 that get used most as the are the best runners

Have this same issue with our local gun range which has been there since 1936. All the houses around it are constantly trying to get it shutdown even though it predates 90% of those property owners.
