  1. found 3 old ladies rusting in limassol back streets, although not military one would make a great staff car, will try again tomorrow as this site doesn't let me upload any more photos for some reason

  2. Is it a mobile telegraph wire testing machine or remote demolition firing point? Dynamo charges up a capacitor type of valve or battery to provide electrical charge/ discharge etc

     

    Or an early type of load sensing apparatus

  3. Hi

     

    I will be taking a short trip to Cyprus later in the year, visiting old haunts at Episkopi, Dhakelia and Nicosia, and was wondering if anyone had any interesting details or whereabouts of WW2 MVs or ex greek army jeeps etc etc /sales or museums that I can call into - only access to the greek side and not planning to go to the north. I can also access all MOD sites on my MOD90 if anything inside military properties.

     

     

    Cheers

  4. Obviously was never taught his HRD (Harness Release and Drag) drills. he should have been pulling on one of the lower lift webs to collapse the chute or else the yankee drill of getting into a crouch run and run round it to collapse from apex lol

  5. Not a full report per se but a bit of footage from the parade through the town to the Kings park. after the marching contingent comes the vehicles from the WDRG (front jeep driven by me) and the Scottish Military Vehicle Group with some of the veterans unable to march on board, enjoy.

  6. Most army tents are draughty and have plenty of ventilation. We use a wood burning stove in a 9x9, bell tent, 160lber etc and no ill effects as long as not tied up like a kipper, even a flap loose will give good vent as most of smoke and nasty gases go up flue being replaced by the through draft into the bottom of the stove.

     

    for extra peace of mind put a monoxide alarm slightly above level you sleep at and position biggest snorer nearest stove- when he stops snoring then time to evacuate lol:D

  7. Reminds me when I used to drive from Glasgow to Turkey in an old volvo F88 then up to an F7 with trailers full of corn flakes and whisky lol. great days indeed freezing conditions to burning hot all in a 10 day round trip.

  8. Re landing craft, I might have it on camera as the car is fitted with roadhawk camera, would need to trawl the footage on the memory card

    ADDED- found it on car camera at 1159 hrs seen on back of blue truck flatbed, not very clear as i was travelling at 70mph
