Starting with our 7th Annual Gathering, we are inaugurating our own HKFW Youtube Channel. Here we will be presenting videos from our events as well as detailed vehicle presentations. Watch, enjoy and like!
After the COVID-related cancellation last year, on September 4&5 we could resume our traditional Fall Gathering for the seventh time - again supported by the 3rd Reconnaissance and Artillery Battalion from Mistelbach. Brilliant Indian Summer weather brought more than 600 guests (all perfectly recorded according to the applicable 3G-rules). The Battalion again brought one of their M109A5Ö self-propelled howitzers as well as a "Husar" Recon vehicle, while the Vienna Military History Museum contributed the Saurer APC prototype and their Daimler Dingo scout car. For the first time, our friends from the Brits Living History Society joined us and prepared a "very British" camp for the duration of the event.
As we approach the first September weekend, we are confident that this year we will again be able to hold our traditional fall gathering. Together with the 3rd Reconaissance and Artillery Batalion we will be presenting Austrian Military Motorization from the end of WW2 until today.
For the first time, we will have four technical presentatiuons on each of the two days of the meeting:
„Die Durchhaltefähigkeit des Bundesheeres stärken"
Großflächige Stromausfälle sind in Österreich glücklicherweise selten – Experten sind sich allerdings sicher: Die Eintrittswahrscheinlichkeit eines solchen Szenarios steigt! Um im Falle eines sogenannten Blackouts trotzdem handlungsfähig zu bleiben, investiert das Österreichische Bundesheer viel Geld und Know-how in seine Autarkie und in die Schaffung moderner, unabhängiger Sicherheitsinseln.
After the COVID-related cancellation of our 2020 event, this year we are looking forward to continuing our tradition and host the 7th Annual Fall Gathering at our facilities in Prottes, northeast of Vienna. As for several years now, we will open all of our depots and our field kitchen will again supply all of our visitors with goodies. Like last year, the 3rd Reconnaissance & Artillery Batallion from Mistelbach will be present with currently active vehicles. For the first time we are planning to have presentations on specific topics of Austrian Army Motorization - based on actual vehicles in the exhibition.
Based on the current COVID situation in Austria, we are confident that we will be able to host the meeting - however please keep visiting our Web Page and our Facebook presence for any updates between now and September. Probaby the 3-G rule (Tested, Recovered or Immunized) will still be in effect by September.
