Nice pictures. I can attest to Medieval Times being a jolly good, er, time. Not cheap, but managable if you can wrangle a group together to go.
Incidently, as a sidenote that I'm sure everybody will be interested to know, I live three blocks away from Medieval Times in Toronto.

I'm still getting some humor from having pictures of guys in platemail neatly bookending a nice piece of field artillery. Is it just me or does it just cause a little chuckle?

Actually, they fired that piece off while I was there, during the artillery demonstrations. They also let loose with some older cannons. Basically, they fired that gun as well as everything in this picture:
It was, of course, fucking loud.
Some more pics are at http://www.stardestroyer.net/Mike/Family/ in the "2005" section.

In that album of yours, I believe that unidentified APC was known as a 'Bren Carrier'-- driver, Bren gunner (that's the machine gun on the carrier there, in action it'd have been down on the fairing or sticking through a firing slot) with some passengers in the back. Used by the Brits in WWII and some time thereafter, I believe-- designed to provide a light armoured vehicle to support forward advances, if I'm right.
Excellent pictures, incidentally...
