Hi Bob, yes and no !!! I had a buyer but he has been very ill and I am not sure whether the deal will go ahead. I might well be looking for another lost soul to buy it.

I have a good body for a WW2 Simms spotlight model 6AIB/3 and am looking for a glass and reflector. Does anyone have them? Alternatively I would sell it and another which is missing a few other parts.

Hi, there is a company which specialises in the supply of Ferret spares www.ferretspares.com. They should be able to help.

Bargain price at 25pounds. I would have one if I wasn't selling my Ferret.

Lastly the 2 parts lists for the 10 ton knocker 6x6 . One is in excellent unmarked condition .the other is well thumbed. If you need more info let me know.cheers Doug

Next are the 2 service manuals. One has a damp damaged cover the other less so but both are good inside with a bit of rust on the cover inside off the fasteners. There is a section in each which looks to be a later addition covering the transfer box which is in a blue tinged copier paper which has faded slightly but is original.

Hi, attached are some photos. Ill do it in 3 stages so not to confuse myself. First is the Matador Maint Manual which is a bit thumbed on the outside but nice inside complete with shadows.Doug

Hi yes I can get you some photos. I am reliant on my wife to take them so will get them to you tomorrow.cheers Doug.

I have for sale two Service Manuals for Matador. One is in very good unused condition but with minor rust marks on the cover from the binding clips and the other has marks on the cover and on some pages. There is also a Maintenance Manual and Instruction book which is a 1951 reprint of the 1945 publication. It is unused with some foxing to the intro pages and the cover is a bit tatty but intact. I also have two Illustrated Parts Lists for AEC 10 ton GS 6X6 dated 1969. One is in excellent unused condition and the other is in used and well thumbed condition. If anyone is interested or wants more details please let me know.

Clearing out my old manuals and have a few parts lists for sale. These include BAT, 3 inch mortar and 105 mm gun. Message me for more info. Happy to post at cost anywhere.

Thanks for that. The bottom left tool seems to have an end that duplicates a firing pin and seating for a round but what it might do goodness knows.

Does anyone recognise these armourer's tools? I believe one is for de-carbonising a gas plug seating but I don't know what weapons these service. They are for sale if anyone is interested.

GPMG cleaning kit with tools as shown. 30 pounds plus postage.

Two nos headsets - DLR No5 S and DLR No5 LL and Microphone hand No 3 for sale. Guide prices taken from ebay are 85 pounds for the No5 S, 95 for the No5 LL and 40 for the mic. Let me know if you need any more info as these are not my area of expertise.

I have an original Lee Enfield No4 telescopic sight mounting for sale. It is stamped AR 6693 and is in excellent condition having had very light use. Let me know if interested. Not sure what the marks mean whether they are a manufacturer and part number.

Parts now sold.

Much obliged thank you. Doug.

I have a number of parts and accessories for SLR which are for sale if anyone is intererested. These include an original IWS /top cover mounting. Message me if interested and I can get photos ( my wife takes them as I don't have a smart phone).

Hi Clive, I have a number of old emers and wartime publications relating to WW2 armour and more recent. These include AEC and Humber Mk4 and Centurion gun tank. Might you be interested?

Looking for someone to move a non-driving Snatch from Tadcaster LS249DW to Banff in Aberdeenshire AB452LN. I believe it weighs around 3.5 tons and is a rolling vehicle but non driver. No exact date required to move it but as soon as can fit in with anyone's schedule. Contact me on my email is best douglasmatheson@btinternet.com.

Hi Dave, sorry but I have limited knowledge of Centurions, it is my friend Peter Thompson who owns one and a cent arv. All I have by way of publications is a ISPL for an early gun tank and a servicing schedule. The Tank Museum have copies of the Centurion Haynes Manual which is cheap and gives some insight into running the Cent. Let me know if I can help further. Doug.

The big clearout continues and I have found a box of parts which are mostly Albion CX though one or two may be Scammell Pioneer. The tacho is Albion and is in excellent condition as is the air tank and front grille. Not 100% sure about which vehicle the speedo came from or the air pressure gauge.. Open to offers.

I am disposing of a small quantity of 58 Pattern Webbing and wondered if there was any interest? I have 3 large packs, one of which is unissued and one hardly used, an unissued Browning holster, an unissued yoke, a used bum roll and left hand pouch. There is also a bino case and a couple of plastic mugs and a cap-combat. These are all that I have found so far but there may be a couple more items.
