Invicta Military Vehicle Preservation Society and the Kent and East Sussex (preserved steam) Railway get together for a joint venture rally at Tenterden Town Station.
This will be the second time that the two organisations have got together and a highlight of this year's event will be the running of special military freight trains, loaded with military vehicles and hauled by genuine World War 11 railway engines.
