Hello stuntman

I am new to this form I am building a model of Albion AM463 3 point fueler. Some of the part I am building from scratch. I was wondering if you could give me some information. Was wondering if you could help me. I need a couple of dimensions two or three so I can work off of a photo. The same photo in this topic.

Thank you

Mac

I would recommend speaking to bobc1940 on here

Upkeep, Tallboy, Grand Slam and the 1200 lb Blockbuster used either the larger E type trolley or the H type which was an E type with loading winches.

Yes they were on the larger trollies,think I've spotted one local to me so I'm going to have a look as its just appeared,have a feeling its been dragged out poss 4 scrap collection!!

The bombs at Debach airfield are concrete! and probably weigh a similar amount to the wartime bombs. I guess the material really depends whether you want it transportable.

Hey,there good that's just what I had in mind,its just a matter of a mould!! Bet they don't bounce about during transport!!

Mayb? Did think of cement but may get 2heavy..

Good start! & are you going to make a 'Tallboy' for the second Trolley?

Hi,not sure yet got a mate who's ex bomb disposal who might b able to get me a casing so I could make a mould to make some, out of what,I don't know yet

Linked up the two finished trolleys for 1st time so couldn't resist a tow round,apologies for the German tractor!! Fordson on the blink...

I am involved with a B type bomb trolley restoration; where did you get the tyres from ?

Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob I got the tyres as new oldstock from local tyreman who has been in the trade for years & was familiar with older sizes etc unlike some of the newer retailers who were abit clueless n wanted rims taking in ad they were unsure,I wanted a roadtread pattern or as near to it as poss,they came with gaiters n tubes for £40each,he does have 1 left but can get new but prob bit more pricewise.

Hello, thankyou for the comments yes they are only trailers but they were important at the time! I've always wanted one & now have 2 & 2 fuel bowsers,I like my farm things but have always had an interest in ww2 RAF for some reason,its something different up here & generates a lot of interest at shows I go to.

Got the axles reattached to the frame,just some bomb racks to rig up!

Wanted,bowser pump clock as pictured,..

Got the steering axle back together on the bomb trolley just need to find 2 tyres,getting quite heavy now!!

If the other pump is going to a Scrappy, why not try and buy it off him and use it for spares.

The tank looks good and would save a heap of work restoring it.

Sometimes it's worth spending a few extra Quid to save a lot of time, effort and money in the long run.

Yes I was going to but I think I can sort the dented cylinder on mine,the other didn't have any spares really & was badly cracked,the scrappies wud prob want a fortune for any parts

Good to meet up at Carrington. You could try putting a grease nipple in one end and pumping it out.

Yes,hope u got all those wheels away OK,think it will want some serious pressure to pop it out tho,I'm in no panic to do it at mo so plenty of time for head scratching!!good to meet u2 

The grey one had been dropped at sometime & had a crack running round part of it&a lot of it was missing parts,the other looked the better buy,I'm still working out how to straighten out the copper cylinder, thought of cutting it in half n investing in a planishing hammer?

Finally got a pump for the 450gall bowser,has some nice original lettering also bit of damage to sort,I couldn't save the grey one which was sold to scrapmen & will sadly prob be smashed up!

Saw an ad on framers free ads,there's a 20ft long ex military trailer free in Cornwall?,I was in contact with Gary? Sometime ago re one near me,I havnt his details anymore but know he comes on here if anyone knows him can they let him know as he is looking for one for fairground use? & they getting abit scarce now apparently, thanks

im looking for 2 hubcaps for a C type bomb trolley,the outside thread diameter is 78mm,anything close to one in pic would be OK or I can alter to suit.

I'm wanting them to be wartime but I've seen plenty of "classic" style ones with same button fastening & waist tie that are mechanics overalls but are white,which isn't an issue as I can get them dyed blue or altered,I had some blue YTS ones in the 80s which thinking back would have done the job now

Wanted a pair of overalls,pref with button type fastening same as RAF ground crew,mechanics would have worn,no probs if different colour as can change size around 44"
