Hi Clive, I've just managed to get hold of a copy of W.O.12243 1958 on Ebay. What I would like to get hold of is the handspikes that are stored on either side of the carriage, about 4' long, I have know idea what they look like or how they would of been used, the other bit I need is the leather box that is on the gunners shield, it hold the light for the sight & spare batteries. I would also like to get the correct clinometer for it, it shows how to use it in the book but no ref to what type, any ideas?? There seems to be very little info out there on the MOBAT, all I keep coming across is for the WOMBAT, can you answer this one? I know the CONBAT stands for Converted Bat, but what is the conversion? why you don't stand behind a MOBAT/WOMBAT..four-fiths of the propellant gasses are vented to the rear.

Hi Richard, my Ferret's exhaust shield is painted in the same paint as the rest of the Ferret it's been on there for 3 years with no problems, gets quite hot but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Cheers, not a bad bunch yourselves :wink: The "Chinese" Jeep has been in bed since Beltring but I start it everytime I'm down the barn, always on the button now, the Saladin's still going strong too. Yep we will be in the same place hopefuly.

See you there, your neighbours from 2005..
