Monster crowds for Shropshire Truck Show

Thousands of people visited the Shropshire Truck Show to see monster trucks, vintage vehicles and motorbike stunt riders.

The show took place on the Oswestry Showground, in Park Hall, on Saturday and Sunday.

Among the attractions was special guest Keith Duffy, of Boyzone and Coronation Street fame, who was at the show yesterday to sign autographs.

The show saw more than 400 trucks on site over the weekend, a car-crushing showdown between monster trucks and a chance for visitors to ride and crush cars in monster truck Red Dragon.

Other entertainment included freestyle motocross display stunt team Air Raid FMX performing air jumps and tricks and the Flingsby Fire Fly stunt plane staging air displays.

There was also a full rescue recovery demonstration in the main arena with trucks and other vehicles simulating a massive crash recovery.

Hundreds of working, custom, vintage and American trucks from across the UK were on show and all the latest products associated with them.

Jason Lunn, director for the show, said: "People of Shropshire and across the region have come out in their masses to support us.

"I don't know the exact figures, but numbers are definitely up on last year. e have been lucky with the weather. It has been cloudy with sunny spells and although it threatened we didn't have any major rain."
