    try contacting Templepan on here ,he is the GMC owner or armourer doug who was one of the passengers,if you get no reply ring me and I will give you Dougs number ,or you could just walk down the green and knock his door Nigel

    in Rickmansworth on thursday I spotted a bren carrier project on a blue lorry heading towards the m25 ,was it somebody on here?

    youll have to get a hair cut then Jack ,youll never get that lot in an original dr helmet,you are right about one thing though we undoubtedly get some of the best views when the tanks are driving straight at you on roundabouts etc Nigel

    I think I probably speak for the other DRs as well as myself when I say there is nothing quite like the feeling of keeping the big stuff moving ,its what the bikes are for ,I dont enjoy riding on motorways and a quiet sunday round the lanes can get a bit boring but nipping past a sherman or jimmy in the convoy is another thing all together.The best buzz Ive had since riding with 143 other wartime bikes in Normandy in 2009 Nigel

    rise above the doom mongers and dissenters Jack if this year is half as good as 2 years ago it will be the event of the year and those that dont come will never know what they have missed Nigel

    should have kept your helmet on Rosie,I bet Jack is having the same problem
  19. ford 369

    there seem to be a fair amount of higgins boats surviving in Normandy,1 at utah beach museum 1 at the grande blockhaus 2 ouside a private museum near omaha 2 at the omaha museum 2 at grand camp maisy,there was 1 at the isle of wight tank museum as well but this was a post war one used in saving private ryan,I will try to get some pics in Normandy when I am there in august Nigel

    being an early twin tube frame shouldnt it be service brown?
  22. ford 369
    if its the same as last time just look for the massive sign showing a tank at the entrance,it was huge ,at least six inches across!!
  23. ford 369
    sorry thats no good ,not correct wartime camouflage pattern,it should be made in the same material as Denison smocks,apparently Keith has Jacks permission to remove any items of non conforming clothing
  24. ford 369
    check out the cios Jersey website ,many of their bunkers will be open liberation day ,the Palot steam museum is well worth a look as is Damian Hornes liberation museum in St Ouens bay,then theres the underground hospital in St Peters valley and the castles in St Helier and Gorey plus the fort at St Aubin as well as some excellent pubs and restaurants all over the island Nigel

    presumably that would be a bsp thread so might be worth trying a plumbers merchant
