Land Rover Owner International Show 2018, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 15th September 2018.
About this photograph.
The soft stuffed toy on a military Land Rover is the Pink Panther, a fictional animated character from The Pink Panther movie series.
Those who knows something about the British military could understand what it is about. But if you don’t know, I’ll explain. This is in reference to a series of military Land Rover painted in pink and used by Britain’s SAS.
The Special Air Services, best known by its abbreviation SAS, is a special forces unit of the British Army formed during the Second World War. They specialise in behind-the-lines raids and covert reconnaissance, some years after the end of WWII, they evolved to include counter-terrorism and hostage rescue.
In the photo, the Pink Panther is used as a reference to the vehicles they use, which is a Land Rover 1968 Series IIA, 109” wheelbase vehicle, register 10 FG 57.
The reason they were painted in that shade of pink was because the colour was found to be most effective camouflage for the operations carried out in Oman, hence leading to the nickname of Pink Panthers.
The whole Land Rover can be seen in one of my photos here www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/50104457193/
About the event.
Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine aimed for the Land Rover enthusiasts. Sometimes the title is subtitled as Land Rover Owner International. The magazine is published by a company based in Peterborough, United Kingdom, and had been publishing the magazine for over 30 years.
The magazine would host an annual Land Rover show, known as Land Rover Owner International Show followed by the year the show is being hosted. The show is mostly hosted at the East of England Showground on the east outskirts of Peterborough.
The show would feature a Live Action Arena, where various Land Rovers would drive around the arena, while customised and modified Land Rovers would show their off-road capabilities over a rough ground in the middle of the arena. Included in the show are Club Stands, displaying various Land Rovers, which are often members of various Land Rover organisations (For example: South West Land Rover Club, Wales Land Rover Club, Ladies Land Rover Club, etc., in additional to G4 Challenge, Camel Trophy, RNLI, etc.). There would be stalls selling spare parts, merchandises, food and drinks, etc. Plus some funfair and events for the kids.
