Whittingham warrior

That is certainly true with the Telegraph, a picture of a Warrior IFV upside down was captioned as a tank. If simple things cannot be done properly think of all the subjects we know little about, all the misinformation that the press can slip in. . . 

Very much a case of don't believe what you read in the press.

I saw this in a copy of Classic Military Vehicles, I wonder what happed to it?

A Bridge to Far, the German vehicles looked like a jumble sale on tracks made by Blue Peter in a hurry.

Have you put up your advent crown?

Almost any documentary on W.W. II has a mishmash of film thrown in randomly. A favourite is a Vickers Medium driving across the screen.A film recently shown on Dunkirk had American Christie tanks chucked-in.

Does anyone have any information on this late production Lipe clutch as used on Sexton and Sherman.

The fixed steel disc is 0.942" thick.

The disc has seen much service and has worn down to 0.266" . It needs to be recovered, so information on the original thickness is required.

Regards.

The route to happiness

1) So, set up a 'museum'

2) Write to other museums and foreign powers asking to either borrow, loan or donate vehicles.

3) Sell off the donations or go one step further and sell the loaned vehicles as well.

4) Invest money in income reversible trouser bonds.

To late its already been done! a number of times!

*For older members, Madness was a popular beat combo of the 1970s and 1980s, with Suggs as lead singer.

I would suggest that you raise £250,000 which would entitle you to have a chat with both Boris Johnson and  Risi Sunak. Money doesn't speak it shouts

There is one on Milweb from Marcus Glenn that needs a bit of tarting up for £7,500

I agree, tap out some bar and attack with the wire wheel.

Plenty of polishing coming up
