(way too busy with work) I remember Neil asking me if I recognised what it was from when I was there some years ago and as there were a handful of bridgelayers sent out during the war, I guessed it was a spare. You struck lucky there.! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(way too busy with work) It is surprising what parts are still out there. I am constantly finding Firefly bits which I assumed would have become unobtainium by now.

BC312 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Hi Rick, hows the Covenanter progressing or has colvid put a stop on that so far. Edited November 15, 2020 by BC312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Its waiting its turn, although I do keep messing with it now and then. I collected the engine from the restorer on Saturday. Unfortunately not because it was finished but because he had changed career paths and can no longer do it. I will have to find someone else!

eddy8men Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 yes i wanted him to restore it as the supergun testbed but it will be used for the 183mm gun cent which is still an interesting project and very worthwhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
