Whenever people are asked about military vehicles, the first things that usually come to mind are jeeps and tanks. Although those vehicles did make up the majority of vehicles used by armies across the world, they are only part of a much larger and wider ranging selection. These include trucks, transporters, tracked vehicles, armoured personnel carriers and heavy artillery guns.

The preservation of military vehicles movement began in the UK in the 1960s and has continued to gain momentum ever since. Now, many vehicles live out their days in the hands of preservationists, who take them to events and shows around the country.

In this book, Royston Morris presents a wealth of full-colour images and informative captions to showcase the variety of vehicles regularly on display.

Royston has been interested in transport since early childhood, when he was always playing with toy cars, lorries and buses. In 1975 he became interested in trains and got his first camera as a birthday present. Since then, he has combined his two main hobbies of transport and photography and has taken over 30,000 transport-related images, featuring cars, trains, commercial vehicles, bicycles, aircraft, hot air balloons and horse-drawn vehicles. He is still taking photographs fifty years on and has a Flickr site which is regularly updated.
