What war at the flea market?




There was no war.  As we followed the ambulance from yesterday around to the back of the flea market, we were utterly surprised to find what looked like a large army encampment.  All kinds of
military vehicles parked in a variety of configurations. 

The jeep in the top photo is a 1952 model, which means it comes from the Korean war years.  You'll notice the motorcycle is from WWII, 1942.

We'll show more photos tomorrow and explain what is going on here.

    I usually see a few old military bikes like these at the annual bike meet in Haninge. I wonder if this is some sort of bike meet?

    This is fantastic. Jeep from the Korean War. Well maintained. Motorcycles of 2 World. How many soldiers lived drama on these machines. I admire people who respect the history this way. I look forward to further reports. Sincerely, Peter.

    The army ambulance from Monday appears to be being driven by a snake of some kind... ;-)

    This brings back memories of Steve McQueen. I have to go with movies cause I wasn't here in WW2 unlike some of you. . .
