The annual War and Peace Show, held at the Hop Farm at Paddock Wood in Kent has an internationally-recognised reputation, which is justifiably deserved. Attracting many thousands of visitors and participants from all over the world this unique event celebrated its 21st anniversary over the five-day period 16 -20 July 2003. This year's attendance figures were just as impressive as always, with nearly 4000 vehicles on site, to make it the largest show of its type in the world. The vehicles ranged from the great to small ranging from bicycles to a full range of tanks, including M60 and M5 Light tanks, M8 armoured cars. German Hetzers and artillery. As usual the show came with all the surprises, thrills and excitement which one has come to associate with War and Peace, or Beltring, as it is popularly known, and makes it such a great place to take research photographs.
