N.O.S. Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 :sweat:Nice link - is it me or are the guide prices way off??? To me, some seem high, others seem low but it is difficult to form a view on their condition from just one small picture and limited info. The guide prices could possibly bear little relation to the actual prices achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 :sweat:Nice link - is it me or are the guide prices way off??? Certainly looks that way Jack but there is some pretty rare stuff in there amongst the common items. Auctioneers are very often wildly optimistic but there again some people seem to have money to burn if you look at the prices that have been paid recently at auctions in both Europe and America. At the moment a lot of things are cheaper here than on mainland Europe due I suppose to the economic situation and the strength of the Euro against the pound. We have been looking for a s/h tractor recently and have noticed on the web the massive price differential beween here and the Euro zone so it's no surprise that the big dealers here are selling into Europe and buyers especially from Eastern Europe are buying up everything in site at the big auctions.

les freathy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Following up on the discussions on large fuel tankers i have never been sure if this model was produced late in WW2, it shows up on a few pics taken in the late 40s and often in the 1950s with Sabres and Starfighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The Air Corps markings on the trailer date it pre June 1941, after that it became US Army Air Force although the pic could be a bit later as I don't suppose all equipment was re-marked overnight.

weasel_nut Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Here are some pictures from the USAAF 15th AF Shuttle Raid to Poltava Russia on June 3, 1944. My father participated in Operation "Frantic Joe" as a B-17 pilot with the 97th Bomb Group, 342nd Bomb Squadron. Vehicles and Ground Equipment were pre-staged for this mission.

Joris Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Fantastic video on Youtube of B17s taxiing and taking off: Something went wrong... Search for USAAF and you'll be amazed what's on youtube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) i dont think this one has been here before autocar semi tanker 8144T - well done Les, most unusual. Where is it taken I wonder - do these guys look a bit Persian/Iranian maybe? Difficult to make out style of caps. Edited September 9, 2009 by N.O.S.

Adrian Barrell Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 8144T - well done Les, most unusual. Where is it taken I wonder - do these guys look a bit Persian/Iranian maybe? Difficult to make out style of caps. It's a French truck so if not in France, probably Algeria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Another nice reo shot, well why not two hen I first saw the photo's I thought it was a wrecker pulling a B17 fuselage on a full trailer, but on re-looking it is a semi-trailer. So the Reo has wrecking gear up behind the cab, and a fifth wheel at the rear. What model would that be then? Anyone any more photographs?
