  1. Old Topic I know, but if anyone happens to have saved copies of the docs mentioned here, I'd be most appreciative of a copy myself: FV987957 iss 05.pdf FV987957FI iss 01.pdf FV987958 iss 05.pdf FV987958FI iss 01.pdf Hakenkupplung NATO hitch.pdf Cheers, Alec.
  2. That's an excellent example! Like the note for when its used with the No.3 Cooker. The "Trade Pack" No. 4 of 240 did make me chuckle, the Military didn't do their orders by half eh!? Alec.
  3. Hi Folks, Looking for a couple of the Remote Stands for cooking over the spare H-Burners from a No.4 Sankey Kitchen. Supplied to go in the vehicle rather than included in the trailer so they often go astray. Please PM if you have ones to spare, thanks. Alec.
  4. Oh they most certainly have been! The one from your Ipad anyway. Coincidentally I replied earlier. Alec.
  5. Still looking if anyone has any in the back of their storage sheds/bottom of their scrap piles! Cheers, Alec.
  6. I have spent many hours perusing the site. The search terminology can be a nightmare but if you persevere its amazing what turns up! Alec.
  7. Due to the proximity of the exhaust manifold/front pipe to the "Dash", it may or may not serve as a fire-wall Superb job as always, nicely thought out and always good to see things being bolted on. Alec.
  8. This site is a continuous source of surprise and information! A Nuffield Jeep, a bob-tailed lightweight Jeep, never heard of one before! Will be interesting to follow this refurb. Were they mass produced, or a limited-numbers type thing? Alec.
  9. Patents are a fickle reference source i'm afraid. Something that was on the 10th variant may reference the initial patent, just to cover themselves so to speak. It is a good starting point though and generally shows what they were thinking and where they were going 👍 Alec.
  10. Mine looks to have the same source, I cleaned it up many years ago bu the same page tear is there. Easy to work out the missing wording though. Clive, the front page I have on the '62 document has been defaced, probably to remove the "Restricted" markings and the WO reference. At the bottom of the page is quoted 1962 and J2-JB 10912. The VAOS I have with the equipment list is Section J2 57/Vocabulary/382 dated June '39, this is the earliest version I have found in my research on the Hydra. It also lists items that were quite rapidly phased out so its a bit of a red-herring in terms of what was subsequently used in practice but its useful for the early stuff. The '45 57/General(A)/4196 is also a really useful one made by the DCS as it shows the later improvements and what was in-use at the end of the war. A number of these were improved again and the '62 document is really representative of what was in-use until they were phased out in the 80s. Alec.
  11. Its War Office Publication J2-JB 10912 (1962) 👍 Alec.
