MVT DDAY24

The Military Vehicle Trust is the World's largest group of ex-military vehicle owners and the only charity dedicated to “keeping our mechanical veterans alive”, and we are about to embark on a great crusade.......
On June 6th 2024, it will be 80 years since the start of the greatest seaborne invasion in history and people from all over the world will gather together in Normandy to mark the anniversary of the D-Day landings. There will be the greatest ever presence of MVT members in France this June; over 1000 people will be travelling with an impressive range of 300 vehicles including motorcycles, staff cars, jeeps, command cars, ambulances, trucks, tracked vehicles and armour. Whilst there, they will be attending a wide range of commemorations, including large national events such as the parade at Bayeux, Gold Beach Remembers at The Normandy Memorial and the National Event at Arromanches. There will also be scores of smaller gatherings, commemorations and acts of remembrance during the week which our members will attend and we have been invited by numerous museums and organisations to provide vehicles for their events.

The MVT have put together a comprehensive package of support to help our members get the most out of their visit, whether they are new to Normandy or seasoned travellers.

Meanwhile, back in the United Kingdom, many of our members will be attending events up and down the country to commemorate the historic anniversary.
