It is my website. I missed the renewal on the domain name, so will try to sort that out. The site is still hosted, so once the domain is renewed it should be up and running again. The site was hosted by me just before Alan Young passed away suddenly. It has not been updated with any details since 2015, although some pages have been amended and updated.

I would like to start a bid at £10 as I will be in the area of Guntree next week. It is almost certainly worth more though.

Only 7½ years for an answer! The 18 litre seals can be adapted to fit by cutting to size and gluing with a silicon glue. However I am on here looking for a source of the seals!

Right at the end of the sale. I wonder if that affected sale price? Thank you Lex.

90EL37 page 35 of the 2-3 October Ruddington sales, lot No. 816. Land Rover 88 G.P. Vehicle (series 88/IIa) Many thanks. Merlin.

Lex, did you ever scan the entry for my Land Rover?

On Saturday I took another look at the launcher and blindfire. I took a few photos using someone elses phone (smashed the camera on mine) so am awaiting the images to be sent to me. I just wanted to clarify that I have not found any Equipment Registration Mark on the launcher. In an earlier post I said that I thought I had seem a TM serial number there. I now think that may have been on the launcher that Trinity Marine have for sale as that is clearly stencilled on the side of the a frame. I did have a thorough search for you.

My guess is fusilliers, probably during its time as a pooled NI vehicle?

27BK21. There is a photo of it on the Op Banner FB Group. So now you have a photo of it as a Mk2! The photo was posted by Dominic Ostrowski, so he may own the image?

I got to view a few of the FSA and Blindfire trailers of 12 AD Regt at Thorney Island that were stored in the caravan park. Blindfire had a 08BX14 serial stamped on to the plate on the top of the a frame just behind the towing ring The FSA had a similar plate that was blank, but from memory had a very faint and faded TM serial number stencilled on to the a frame in yellow. A few photos for clarity!

Thank you Lex. That would be perfect.

Several years ago I asked if anyone had a 1974 Ruddington Catalogue to hand that they may be able to find one of my vehicles in? At the time it drew it blank, so I am asking again in the hope that a catalogue has now surfaced? Land Rover 90EL37 was cast for disposal on 8th June 1974 to Ruddington. If the catalogue is still not available, can anyone confirm the likely sale date and auction catalogue number? My other two Land Rovers were disposed of a little later. British Car Auctions in Tunbridge Wells in 1984 and the other was Struck off charge at Supply Depot Viersen, BAOR on 24th April 1980. Does anyone know if those disposal sites would have catalogues?

Fantastic to see the Thornycroft up and running. This thread has been excellent to read through and follow for the past few years.

Dave Dolan's words were 'Share away' so now you need to pose without the pancake! Dave was MTO driver for three tours between 1983 and 1987. Not sure where the pig picture was taken.

05BK41 This photo is from a FB Group I am a member of. The person sat in the pig is the owner of the photo, but I do not have his permission to post it. Therefore I have blanked his face out. I will send him a PM though and see if he is willing to make contact? In the meantime, enjoy...
