Like 2006 our fire base came under attack with some
breathtaking pyrotechnic effect. This was extremely well received by the public as they were actually on the fire base with us
during the attack. The noise was unbelievable: a quad 50 gun truck, an another gun truck with a 50 and 30 cal, one M60 and half a
dozen M16 plus the VC AK 's firing all at once while incoming simulated mortar rounds are falling just a few yards away from you tend to send your hart beat racing!
Luckily enough this was only for show but you can just about imagine what our troops did and go
thought when all that stuff is happening for real!
Please share a thought for them .
And for something totally different now,
never seen at Beltring in the last 10 years
MUD!!!
Yes Rolling Thunder did over do it this Year and order the "MONSOON" to add to the realism.

Welcome to
Beltring 2007.
Due to popular demand at the 2006 show,
this year we brought back the VC tunnels
with the addition of
an US Communication bunker. Our fire base this year had grown as well with the addition of
a 155mm Howitzer.
