Forgive me if I'm Wrong, but I think you will find that the anti-aircraft tank is a Vickers (?) Marksman.

According to Wikipedia, the only country actually deploying the Marksman at the moment is Finland, which mounts the turret on a T-55 chassis - so presumably the vehicle seen here is a demonstrator.

Great pics. Got to admit though they are a bit harsh on illegal parking! :lol: I like the bike though. A Matchless G3 if I'm not mistaken.
I really must get the Airfix Centurion and Chieftain and build them, been promising myself them for years.

All the best.

Thanks Greg,sorry i,ve only just seen your reply,been busy stripping the paint off of lots of warhammer figiures and tanks for my son.That Dettol reeks.
I think it is a G3 there, i've never owned a Matchless myself although had a few Beezas and Trumpets in the past.Looking forward to more shows as the show season is on us,hope it's gonna be nice for Crystal Palace and Duxford this weekend.

Cheers, Paul.
