MVT's Heaton's Bridge Inn
Display 2014
.jpg)
OVER 5 April and 6
April 2014, it was not just the Grand National that was stopping
traffic, as over the weekend, the Heaton's Bridge
Inn, Burscough had a surprise for motorists. As people
passed they could see a large Howitzer field gun and a tank
parked outside the well known landmark pub. They were on display
as part of the Merseyside and Lancashire
M.V.T. Groups. (The Military
Vehicle Trust) free event to publicise the group and to support
the local venue that has been supporting them for several years
now. It might not be one of the largest displays, but it was one
display not to have been missed for local military vehicle
enthusiasts. The event was a joint event, organised by members
of the MVT and the pub, and is now held twice a year, along the
banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, on the B5242, Heaton's
Bridge Road.

On display were a good selection of battle field
and operational support vehicles from the US, UK and
Switzerland, to name a few. The vehicles attending ranged from
Land Rovers and Jeeps, through to 4 ton trucks. That is not
forgetting a very large Mighty Antar Tank transporter/trailer
and Abbot self propelled gun. Parked on the car park was a fully
restored tank, along with a Howitzer field gun with Foden Gun
crew-bus, surprising motorists as they came over the canal
Bridge. These are a few photographs of the Saturday's
activities. We cannot weight see what the
M.V.T. do at the next
one, later in the year!
