I happened across this film with about 20 seconds of C9B`s firing.

Think I have one, will look tomorrow.

Hi Andrew, I have a few items in the collection. I was a kid in the 80`s and love the kit of that era. Tim

We had an EX Saladin crewman visit the collection today, he had some very nice photo`s and wondered if any of the vehicles survived. I know it`s a long shot but they are Saladins O7 CC 84 and 00 DA 11, Dingo 06 ZS 26 and AEC 91 ZR 53.

Fantastic piece of film Phil.

They do look pretty mean without guards don`t they Lauren. Have read a couple Churchill books but not that one, will look out for it.

This is our MkVII, ex pounds yard in 1979. Also spare engine, MkI and AVRE turrets.

Periscope mirrors for paperweights..Never!

A sad day. Our hobby simply would not be what it is today without Peter.

Hi Mike, Nice urban combat camper.

White Scout from me also.

Brilliant! Nice find Tim, I too have been looking for years for a pic of one of mine with no luck

It was just a lucky find, something positive from yet another week off work with a bad back.

Trawling through Sherman books and closely studying each vehicle (as you do) a reg number looked familiar, I`ve never found a photo of a vehicle I own and never expected to, however T146485 is the number of our M4A4. The vehicle was recovered from a target range 25/30 years ago and this number was painted on the upper front hull side and rear pannel in white, also in black on the lower rear hull side. The photo credit was to the Tank Museum Bovington and they very kindly provided us with a re-print, confirming very clearly the near vehicle on the right of the picture is ours. The caption read Aldershot September 1944 (not quite tearing through the bocage, but never mind) it has not at this time been fitted with applique armour and looks to be part way through a full re-fit. The second photo shows it recently as an un-restored rolling wreck on the "Fury" set.

A mate of mine also said it was one of the best shows he had been to. One to watch. :cool2:

We`ve had so much good feedback that I think we`ll do it again in a couple years time.

It was a great day indeed Tim. Thanks to all who supported it and made this anniversary so memorable, hope to see all again. I got a nice pic of you guys getting soaked as we went out in the surf..

Very nice.

What a brilliant photo Bob, there must be someone down this way who knows a little more about this?

Thanks chaps. Aero Shell is certainly the one most recommend for radials by the looks of it, though were presently using Morris straight 50 with no trouble, and it does use a drop.

Nice photo`s Tim, I believe we have a couple pics from way back when also. The CJ belonged to a local collector, CMP and 101 were ours, as you can see the one tonnie wouldn`t quite make that climb! Good times.

Hi Edd sounds like you have some nice stuff, and an 80" Land Rover?

Be nice to see you at the Devon D Day event if you feeling adventurous, we have a few coming down from Somerset and are looking for more US vehicles to join the beach convoy. Tim

Changing the oil on the Sexton this week and wondered if anyone can recommend a good oil? Thanks. Tim

How soon do you want it moved?

Well done for doing British markings for starters. The possibilities are endless really, what div signs or unit markings are you using? The vehicle stowage and kit would depend a bit what that regiment did, and what role the jeep would have been used for.

Nice pic Tim, I would guess Italy.

Ah, is that the red/white/red on the hull rear?

Sorry Richard. You cant put me off coming now!

Looking forward to it, we haven`t seen you here for a while.
