Autokaci Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The K6 and C15a are not more than 10 minutes away from where I live. I also go there often enough to buy iron profiles...angles, box etc...! It is a pity that they are left to rot there after being salvaged from another place a few years ago. The owners are not into old trucks....much more into dragsters!!! The old Tilly is of a good friend of mine Clive Micallef and it is one from his fleet of army vehicles he has all nicely restored!

Great War truck Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The fist one is a Marmon Herrington snogo (i think). Very rare outside the USA, actually quite rare within the USA. So Jack, where were they taken. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Not sure if this is the best place please shift if needed. Its not complete just a portion of what I believe is a super cannon of some kind perhaps a "rail gun" but could be mistaken. From the Life magazines site. "Ruins of a bomb-damaged Krupp gun factory after an Allied air attack on this devastated city in the Ruhr Valley. Location: Essen, Germany Date taken: July 1945 Photographer: Margaret Bourke-White" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 found this so far a artist concept of what the rail gun looked like ? will keep looking for more information like name and spec's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 found this so far a artist concept of what the rail gun looked like ? will keep looking for more information like name and spec's That's a railway gun. A railgun is a hypermodern weapon which blasts a minute projectile at enourmous speeds. Its kinetic energy would blas apart a tank. I do like those big railway guns, no9t very usefull though, only for blasting big fortresses like Sevastopol. The Germans wanted/build 4 fixed guns in the French cliffs to shell London. They got bombarded to ^$#&@$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 That's an interesting shot - all of it construction equipment - shovels (some truck-mounted), cranes and crushing/screening plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 82 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 At the end of the 1970`s, as a spotty faced student, I was asked whether for a 100 Pounds, I would ferry a Unimog 404 from a field in Kent to South Wales. For a student, that was a no-brainer, and I was given a lift to Kent to be confronted by a field of Unimogs (apparently, the dealer had purchased the whole batch from the Bundeswehr)... Fast-forward 35 years......I had long forgotten about the location and names, but then came accross a fellow Unimog fan in the West Midlands who showed me pics of the unsold Mogs which were still at the same place - trees growing through the engine compartment etc......

Austin Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I found this Bedford MW mk2 on Flickr (a photo site) under a set of pictures called 'scrap yard'. Certainly looks in good condition. Also on the same set is this apparently roadworthy Austin K2 ambulance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les freathy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Number 83 it would appear is a converted 40 ton Dyson/crane tank transporter trailer originally built in WW2, some survived well into the 1950s and i would suspect this to be one of the demobbed trailers from that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul connor Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 When I was a wee nipper. My Mother and Step father of the time used to drink in the New Inn in Hadlow Down, Gerald who owned the place (now passed on) used to have loads and loads of trucks and ex military vehicles behind the pub just rotting into the floor! I used to play in and around them.... long gone now.. wonder where too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 the New Inn in Hadlow Down, Gerald who owned the place (now passed on) used to have loads and loads of trucks and ex military vehicles behind the pub ..

Richard Farrant Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Paul, They were the only ones I could spot when driving by, but I did not realise there were that many there. Another place across the road had some interesting vehicles laying around at one time, I am sure you know where I am talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
