6 X 6 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Andy, thank you very much indeed ! Talk about thinking big. That was a really wonderful project for someone. I think I can remember reading that the rocket was to be auctioned at the end of that W&P. I wonder where it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Anyway, I've decided to have all my future posts vetted by a both a legal expert, and defence specialist, before submitting them in order avoid any future misunderstandings. Don't waste your money, you'll still be misunderstood :rofl::rofl::rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin, one of the guys who helped to build this, is also a member of Easy Co, so will ask him when next I speak with him. I believe he, and the reenacting group he belongs to, are planning something else, for W & P this year.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find the back ground and story behind the building of this replica rocket and setting it up at W&P very interesting. It would would make a great thread, with 'photos, somewhere on the forum. I look forward to hearing more. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettkitt Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 The Ferret doesn't look too bad, where is it? Chris Chris the MK 4 Ferret was for sale on e-bay a few years back. A lot off the important bits for the MK 4 seem to be missing. http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/other%20variants.htm Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripp Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I wonder where it is now. I had someone come to look at some bits I was selling a couple of weeks ago. He lives in tenterden I think, and he told me he has it at his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scammell4199 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I know exactly where the said reclamation yard is, I drive past it every day on my way to work. The T34 has been there for years and as I understand several people have tried, and failed to buy it. As for the missile at AA gun I wouldn't like to say, but they are like local land marks, and a good focal point for finding the yard. If you look a little way down the road there is a farm house right on the road, and theres a GMC CCKW parked in the yard in front of the house. Happy hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 While we're on the subject of missiles, does anyone a 'photo to post here of the replica V2 (?) rocket that was at a recent W&P or knows where it is now ? I saw it being built in the guys back garden alongside had his halftrack and GMC, they were trying to sell the rocket prior to the show, don't know if anyone did buy it otherwise it was going to be scrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you will know, it hasn't moved for years and is slowly rotting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfy Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hello, Saw this post, do you know what they want for the Bloodhound? I'm looking for inert missiles in general, do you know if they have any others? Many thanks Colt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulob1 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thats all well and good to have a static display but I had a friend from Rhode Island who believed in a bit more portable although non-operational missile I think it was a former training aid of a deactivated Minute Man missile shown here transported in two pieces to a local parade a number of years ago . Thats not a minute man its a Nike Hercules...of the 50's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
