  8. Hence the quotation marks; using here as a generic term rather than specific. I assume folks will - from pics and description - know what they're buying. But cheers for the info.
  9. Decent original 1951 dated WD issue Briggs BMB, 1952 dated W & W, and double-sided 1951 PSC 5 gall steel jerry cans. Original paint, I suspect. Wouldn't recommend putting fuel in them, though look sound enough to me - better as diorama props or to dress a period vehicle I would suggest. Anyway they are what they are. £12 each collected from west Kent. May be able to post, don't mind looking into that if you want - or organise your own courier; no problem.
  10. Bog standard 20L (5 gallon) steel jerry can, maker marked 'E'. Sorry, doesn't have any fascinating markings, dates, insignia, etc, etc: it is what it is. Probably more as suitable for a show prop, for 'dressing' a vehicle, etc, than for actual use (though, as far as I can see, it's sound). £7, collection from west Kent. Might be able to post - happy to look into it if anyone's interested. Or arrange your own courier.
  11. Four vintage 'flimsy' pattern Valor steel fuel tins. No, sorry, they don't have any fascinating markings, dates, insignia, etc, etc: they simply are what they are. I see these more as suitable for a show diorama, for 'dressing' a vehicle, etc, than for actual use (though, as far as I can see, they're sound). £6 each, collection from west Kent. Might be able to post - happy to look into it if anyone's interested. Or arrange your own courier - no sweat.
  12. Thanks, gents, for input. Ideally looking to get in touch with owners to see about an event late summer next year.
  13. A longshot, but do we have any WW1 era vehicle owners in the Kent/Essex/E Sussex area? If so, could you drop me a line, please? A friend is trying to organise something for the 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War, next year. Many thanks, in advance.
  14. Isn't the answer a bit more basic than this? If you put a noticeable red cross on stuff, it simply gives the baddies a convenient aiming point. Can remember reading about a Soviet army observer at a NATO exercise expressing complete incredulity that there were vehicles with big red crosses on, buzzing around the battlefield. His response - 'Those would be the first things we'd shoot at!' Seems, 40 years on, our military may have taken that on board...!
