LIKE THOMAS GRAY, the 18th century poet, historic commercial vehicle enthusiasts "frolic while 'tis May." They will begin on May 1 by celebrating the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society's silver jubilee with the London-Brighton run, which the Wincanton Group is generously supporting for a further three years.

The following Sunday what is claimed to be the largest event of its kind in England will take place at Dartmouth Park, West Bromwich. This caper is the Sandwell Historic Vehicle Parade and Transport Show, which is divided into 23 classes and will include a 25-mile procession by 300 vehicles from Oldbury to West Bromwich.

Among the attractions will be "a World War II re-enactment battle" — a gentle rejoinder to Moscow's blast of threatening military might with which the once-merry month unhappily begins.
