Only keen on armoured vehs as I was a tech dealing with them during my NSF days which just ended.

Bad weather on Sat, drizzle can be seen in photos

Wish to go take this Saturday again at 2pm, hopefully there's a run then.

Yutaka, i was taking shelter under a tree so I didn't get much water, plus i was holding an umbrella when I'm not snapping. :)
 

Nice capture! Anyway can you tell me which are the contingents which passed you by from your side?

Hi Harrynkl, I can't remember what I wore that day but if you saw a rather big sized guy with a black Crumpler bag and a 70 - 200 F4 lens, then it should be me, if you're refering to a ponytailed guy wearing white shirt, nope :)

Huaiwei, thanks :)
If you mean the marching con, all of them marched past me. The mobile column splits at the Y junction so you'll get half of everything.

By the way, anyone got photos of the leopard variant parked by the road?

Most welcome!

I am surprised all of them matched past you? Tot they tend to march off in two separate directions with one headed towards Beach Road and the other towards your side? Was there a change?

Don't think so. That's for the mobile column.

Erm I think there is a miscom here haha.

I am referring to the time when the marching contingents march off (as in...leave) the padang. Usually the GOH will all march past the president in the traditional way down St Andrew's Road towards the CBD, but the supporting contingents has had various ways of marching out, usually to save time. The last time it was held at the padang, they marched up to the president and then split in two directions such that half the contingents march towards the CBD and the other half towards Beach Road.

So this is the thing I am concerned about coz I need to know where to position myself to catch different contingents, unless you are indeed affirmative that every single contingent, including the supporting contingents, actually marched pass your location (i.e., all the contingents marched pass the president in the traditional way and marched off towards the CBD)?

Many thanks in advance for the info!

As far as military and uniform groups are concerned, all of them marched past me, as well as the civilian organizations holding flags and humming "left right left right" :bsmilie:

BUT, this could be applicable up to NE Shows as last year, marching contingents U turned back to F1 Pit after floating platform, only towards Preview or actual day then they marched the full route around Padang. I was involved last year (read : arrowed) with last years mini mobile column so I'm not entirely sure if it's Preview or Actual day.

Anyway don't worry, i was alone where i stood, only later on did 3 or 4 more people join me. The rest ( A LOT ) all stood at the other side of the Y Junction where you can see the performances.
