G-day from New Zealand


Recommended Posts

G-day guys. I am an owner of a Dodge 1943 WC51, 43 Willys MB, and am restoring a 42 Ford GPW presently. I also have a Bantam T3 Trailer that is on the road a Willys MBT awaiting restoration and an L5 pack Howitzer that i am restoring (Looking for Trigger and firing mech bits and a slipper)

I am a committee member of the New Zealand wing of the Commemorative Air force, and on Committee of the Royal NZ Artillery Association (I'm ex Guns). I collect WW2 and Vietnam era Kiwi and American artillery uniform and equipment, plus the odd bit of British and german gear.

 

See you on the boards

Hopefully a few pics will be attached below. The Skippy towing the L5 belongs to a local museum. We are looking for a Slipper, trigger mech, breech block (We have the ring) and firing internals and LBM for the L5 cant mount the propper barrel or muzzle brake yet without the slipper.
