LATEST COVID 19 LOCKDOWN POLICY
as from September 14th 2020
As a charity and responsible public organisation, we have a duty to ensure our members abide by Government advice and we keep the safety of our members and the public paramount. Although lockdown restrictions are changing regularly, the core guidance has not changed the MVT‘s existing policy regarding the organisation of Area Meetings and public events; they continue to be suspended until further notice.
However, in the light of recent changes to the law, in particular the “Rule of 6”, we request that members also adhere to this guidance and do not meet up and/or attend events in groups, in the name of the MVT. This also applies to organised road runs, as these can be seen as a means of transmitting the virus between areas.
As a direct result of these new restrictions, we will continue to suspend the Vehicle Verification service for the safety of our volunteer inspectors.
Members are also requested to follow additional local or international restrictions.
We all know our vehicles draw immediate attention where ever they go, so let’s be vigilant and follow the MVT’s Code of Conduct and behave in a thoughtful and responsible way.
Please stay ‘Stay Alert’, not just for yourself but for everyone else.
The arrangements for local area lockdown and the related Government guidance are being updated regularly.
Please check for the current Government guidance and any local arrangements at all times.
Welcome
GOODWOOD Revival 2019
GOODWOOD REVIVAL 2019 D-Day Tribute Parade
In a serious departure from the norm, the Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex was awash with khaki earlier this September in a very special D-Day commemoration parade.
The South Hampshire Military Vehicle Trust amongst others supplied more than 90 historic vehicles, many of which were instrumental in Operation Overlord and the wider World War II effort, took to the Circuit, making up what was possibly the largest, and slowest grid it’s ever seen.
From amphibians to American airdrop motorcycles, the parade had everything, including a Corbett Heavy Wrecker towing a Sherman tank and the only working Ford Lynx in Britain. Waving from the open cabs and tank turrets were soldiers and land girls, dressed to the nines in period costumes.
