It was probably from a green goddess fire engine

Just been watching "Axe men" on Ch 5, Wed.&Fri. interesting to see yet another use for a Sherman tank hull, it has a crane built on it used to operate the aerial ropeway to haul timber out of the forest

There is no quick & easy way, if you have the use of a car lift and gearbox jack then take the g/box/t/box out from underneath, could try struggling with Jeep up on axle stands and use trolley jack to lower/refit g/box, otherwise its engine out. Whats happened to the clutch? slipping, burnt out? problem may be caused by a weak pressure assembly consider changing that too

Interesting film prop co. liquidation sale, inc Humber pig lot 31, ..by the way its in California http://www.rap3d.net/rpsv/rhino.html

My local airport, that would be good

6 - count me in too on this,( London)

I wonder if they came from the Royal Army Medical Corp training centre@ Keogh barracks nr Aldershot, they used to have numerous training aid vehicles there

This site is 15 - 20 miles from the Hankley site, I don't think its recognised or even known about, I used to live nearby and thought I knew all the installations, but was not aware of this, never seen any reference to it, the land its on is Crown estate property, access on foot or bicycle is I believe ok

A Sisu ?

This is what I said in the opening thread, there is the replica Normandy sea wall on nearby Hankley common http://www.thetimechamber.co.uk/Sites/Military/AtlanticWall/AtlanticWall.php

Geoff sold it along with other vehicles to the owner of Bastogne museum, I was on the delivery trip

I know of most of the "stop line" defences in the area, this is in the middle of nowhere, right on surrey/berks border in the centre of a former military training ground

Found this 1943 song sheet "The Rhythm of the Jeep" .....all together now.... Jeep Jeep thats's what they call it, Just needs a GI to hold it, Bounc-ing o-ver road and lane, driv-ing this tune round my brain. Have you ev-er tried THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP its a gal-lop and a wriggle not a creep, You must find a lease.and-len-der, who is just a sol - id send-er but be carefull you don't end up in a heap When you hear a rat-tle and a little hoot Then its time for you to shake a dainty boot---- All the book-ies will be leap-ing and the Ser-geant Ma-jor weep-ing When they get THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP You bend your knees-- and then you boog-ie to your partner with a Beep - Beep - Beep - Beep, You cud-dle up, but you had bet-ter watch your drivin cause your'e tak-ing a ride in a Jeep. Jack and Jill no long-er ling-er on a hill Now-a -days they're Su-sy -que-ing with a will At the Palais you will find them with the gang all there behind them Jiv-ing to THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP------ Originally recorded by Kay Cavendish Words and music by Vera & Frank Baron

Agree with Richard, the last pics are the sad remains of an E83W Ford. The upside down chassis and engine is possibly Rover, look closely it has an "underslung" chassis which goes under the rear axle

Me in proper Jeep cruising mode, get the full experience, bugs/tree branches/mud in face....

In the stretched 432 with a drain pipe gun barrell !

Same goes for the all the post war Hotchkiss Jeeps made to look like WW2 ones, often claiming to be original, or Jeeps built using new repro parts, body/chassis, they are all considered replicas

Possible WW2 Concrete anti tank defence training structure? near Bagshot, Surrey/Berkshire border, situated where it is it woulnt have been part of any operational defence system, This is on Crown estate Land, the two white objects on the aerial photo are covered water resevoirs http://www.panoramio.com/photo/7696428

Just to ad, went on Saturday in Jeep, a good show, well organised, good display of MV's even the weather was amazing, ...when leaving alas M2 was closed which caused all sorts of other mayhem getting home
