  1. He he The Merlin gets a mention by most people on here though. It would get my vote too, along with the sound of a proper V-twin Top of the list though: "Dinner's ready!"
  2. About the same time we stopped using imperial measures (supposedly)
  3. Lindsay: you beat me to it! Everyone: please come along to Colchester Garrison. It's a cracking event and the perfect warm-up for Beltring. The EAFVG kettle will be ON.
  4. Excellent: for the first time in ages this doesn't clash with something else. Duxford here we come! :captain:
  5. Some great photos there, Tom. I particularly like the one of the Mog with a bale on either end I notice on the MogForum that theres a MogMeet in June. Anyone planning a visit?
  6. Shot on location on the Western Front in 1916, Battle of the Somme was produced privately and proved more popular than the official films that the War Office had made during the war despite being shockingly graphic. Audiences, well aware of the real conditions in the trenches, seemed to prefer a film that didn't try to pretend that war was easy or fun. In this extract from the silent 80 minute documentary, a wounded soldier is carried on the back of a comrade through a trench Something went wrong...
  7. Hi Tomas welcome to the forum
  8. Welcome to the forum, Julian Yes: why not show us some photos of your models?
  9. I've been looking at this website: http://wielverkenner.blogspot.com/2008/08/verkenningsbak-op-marktplaats.html Lots of photos of his fantastic restoration of a Verkennings Laro. This photo is also from there: One of them might even be Heidi It shows the branch catcher quite well, and you can also see the windscreen cover (something else I'm looking for)
  10. Well, he doesn't look 82 in that photo :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:
  11. That looks the absolute dog's ... mate ;¬) What engine did you use?
  12. Welcome bor, 101 looks good driving through the porridge
  13. Thanks - you're a mine of information I have been looking for photos of Dutch Laros on the net but they're hard to find. Heidi's restoration is making good progress - thanks in no small part to my friends Jim, Steven and Timo over there in the Netherlands. I'm always looking for Dutch stuff. If you come to Beltring this year we'll have a beer together :beer:
  14. Yeah, come on! Show us some piccies ;¬)
  15. Welcome, and yeah: Catweazle is right... it never stops ;¬) Enjoy yerself!
  16. That's what this hobby is all about ¦¬) Once you have finished your restoration you will be THE EXPERT and you can share your knowledge with the rest of us here on the forum. Gareth
  17. I also have the technical handbook. It mentions another variant of the 109: Terreinmeetdienst Voertuig - Ground Survey? A soft-top with a full-length roof rack. do you know how these were used? Gareth
  18. :iloveyou: Thank you! Thank you! Now I just need to find one This is the only major part that is missing from Heidi, so fingers crossed...
  19. This is a Commando/Verkennings Voertuig - which translates as Command / Recce Vehicle - of the Royal Dutch Army in the 1980s. This is what my Laro (Heidi) should look like. I'm still looking for the front brush guard, so if anyone out there can help drop me a line ;¬)
  20. Three words: not very good at maths :confused:
  21. That's a cool looking lorry you've got there fella :¬)
