  1. Maybe a "relative" of your Matador? http://www.aecbus.org.uk/pictures/slt154f_mandator_alton09.jpg
  2. And flying! OK, it's a replica, but by my reckoning, the first 262 in British airspace, since November 1945. IMG_6220.MOV
  3. Russia! Vadim Zadorozhny Museum, Arhangelskoe, Moscow
  4. No, 24" tyres, fit 24" rims. 26" tyres, fir 26" rims. 24" is a common size, lots of mountain bikes are 24", however 24" road bikes are a common children's size. eBays has dozens of hits. Tyres in Wheel Size:24 in, Compatible Bike Type:Road Bike | eBay
  5. Free if anybody wants to collect from NG32 3JE.
  6. Sherman Specialized Vehicles (free.fr)
  7. The company is still registered as being active. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09677864
  8. Crude can be refined to produce different amounts of products, petrol was originally a pretty much unusable fraction, paraffin was what was sought. Plastics tend to be produced from gaseous precursors, rather than from oil per se.

  10. The Stuarts (Honeys to be exact, as they were in British service) often had their turrets removed when used in the recce role, the 37mm being of little use post-42-43. Some pictures in this MU forum post. Stuart VI Recce (was: Stuart Recce replacement) - MLU FORUM (mapleleafup.net) The artillery tractors appear to have undergone more radical surgery, having a rectangular cut-out in their top armour, rather than just a turret removed & collar fitted around the aperture. ultravanillasmurf: M5 Combat Vehicle Stuart Gun Tractor (Stuart VI) I doubt if any turreted Stuarts remained in British service for very long after WW2 ended.
  11. They have been penetrated, in 2006, an RPG-29 penetrated a Challie's low frontal armour.
  12. Photo of the beast at Beverley.
  13. Highly likely to be a political move, so the Germans will send Leopard 2, that the Ukrainians want. Deploying a dozen or so, nearly obsolete tanks, that weigh 28 tonnes more than anything currently used there, with potentially limited ammunition supply as it's no longer manufactured, isn't going to be of much use. Add in the necessary spares, crew training and they'll be of little use. Also, modern tanks need to be used as part of a combined arms deployment, so the promised 30 AS90s will be of more use, I suppose the question there, is where have they found 30 fully functional AS90s & when will these & the Challies actually be sent?
