  1. The Pioneer in the land warfare hall has Daisy written on the headboard . I wonder if the museums Explorer has the same name ? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  2. Good to see this old girl rebuilt and not broken for spares ! Lovely job too ! :-)
  3. Came home yesterday to avoid driving my Pig in the rain as a forty MPH jet wash for nearly 3 hours last year taught me a valuable lesson Have to say the toilet block near us was well maintained and cleaned regularly even though occasionally blocked it was rapidly sorted ! The shower blocks where also fit for purpose ! The noise til 4 in the morning one night was a spoiler for me also , I hope the new man in charge will have a fix for this as it seems it may be someones idea of a tradition :mad: Stall holders where down as where vehicles on display in my opinion but still worth the agro and expense for me personally ! Loved the British Army Challenger display I still prefer the hopfarm though :angel:
  4. Rick I am baffled by the museums lack of interest in these British historic artifacts and have decided to offer my BergePanther wreck to another museum :-) Well done for trying mate ! You are a credit to your hobby :-)
  5. Hi mate , very sorry this post is upsetting you , I just thought it might help if you knew Antarmike has left the forum ! Once again sorry for the offence reading this thread has caused !
  6. But very very welcome at War and Peace revival mate :-)
  7. Oh dear mate , nothing serious I hope ? On the way home ? Maybe you should stick with the Pig from now on :-)
  8. Fantastic ! Any history relating to this Hippo please ? Have you just found the winch ? Of course loads of pics would be appreciated ! :-) Sadly the youtube video of a convoy of these at operation Grapple on Christmas Island has been removed by CH4 for copyright infringement !
  9. Hi Scott , the link is to the chap who is saving her's facebook page , I just thought the more who see it the more chance of some help with parts for him ! Best wishes Andy :-)

  11. Have you seen this one Robin ? Something went wrong...
  12. Very nice ! How I hope to have mine one day :-D
  13. Rumours of an Explorer birthday party at Great Dorset Steam Fair this year but not seen anything in print mate ! :-D
  14. Hi Rich , I used a block and tackle attached to between the roof hatches pretty straight forward once you have the bulk head armour out of the way ! I didn't take the gearbox right out , just enough to replace the clutch if I remember correctly but it was a long time ago so don't quote me on it ! Good luck mate ! :-D
  15. Hi Nigel , just found this thread and love your collection ! My Pig also suffered from steering stiffness and it was caused by the upper bush in the steering column being tight due to corrosion of the inner column ! I sussed it by fully dismantling the column but I reckon if you jacked the front wheels off the ground and lubed the inner colum at the top and allowed the oil to run down into the bush whilst moving the wheel lock to lock it could improve it ! Keep up the good work mate ! :-D
