The
Guernsey Military Vehicle Group is dedicated to restoring and preserving
military vehicles. The majority of our members own World War Two military
vehicles, however some of our vehicles date from the post-war period up to the
present day. Throughout the year we put on various military vehicle displays at
local events such as the Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club
Car Show and Guernsey's West Show . In addition
to this every five years we play a major part in organising the Guernsey
Liberation Day Cavalcade. We also hold
social events during the year (not necessarily involving the vehicles), and
support the service charities on the Island such as The Royal British Legion and
The RAF Association. The Guernsey
Military Vehicle Group is affiliated with the UK Military Vehicle Trust (MVT)
which is a nation-wide society concerning the conservation of military
vehicles.
