Parts of our journey today hosting a motor tour of the Assault Training Center. Moving images taken just after we sheltered from an intense hail storm. Had a couple of breakdowns - well the vehicles are over 80 years old - and took an hour longer than planned as we had so much to tell. Huge thank you to our passengers and drivers.
