Seems fair enough;.......:cool2:

Cheers for answer, Russ............free entry was a nice touch, but totally understand reasoning behind decision to discontinue practice,.... Maybe's see you about on the sat. All the best, Andy

A certain SUMB driving gent,........possibly

Russ, have had a look on ad's for this, and can't see the usual free entry for mvt/imps members, this year; ??...........is it just me or.......:confused: All the best, mate. Andy

Thanks for the link, Alan, have just watched local news item on a local family hoping DNA can be extracted from recovered bones, as they're hoping for news of a 'lost' member of their family. All the best, Andy

yup, signed also..........

Nicely put, Mike. Couldn't agree more............ Adam, is there a web site to get Gurkha justice campaign info/leaflets from ?? (will certainly display some when out and about. ) Andy

supprised some of our 'more american-ised' members didn't twig this one,..........:-D

Totally agree with you above statment, Rosie; When will these elected so-called representatives of the public GET REAL.............:mad: Through out their campaign to get what should by rights, be awarded automatically, the freedom to call this island their HOME, they have behaved in a fashion worthy of their tradition;..............which makes our so-called representatives of the people's response so shameful; Its my opinion, that the more lawless, and less patriotic you are, the more rights you have..................Disgusting: Petition signed. Mods, if this is deemed to political,........well how can it Not be ?? Andy

A guy local (ish) to us, Gritineye, had one, for a while,........think he's Newhaven way, with a Reo, now.........

This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise; This fortress, built by Nature for herself, Against infection, and the hand of war; This happy breed of men, this little world; This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands; This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England...... This land of such dear souls, this dear, dear land...... England, bound in with the triumphant sea, Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege, Of watery Neptune. Happy Birthday, William Shakespeare. Happy St Georges Day to all forum dwellers.

...............it was just after Jack had asked where the ballons had been hidden, everyone around the table had an 'extreemly strong CHEDDAR moment',.........

Good luck in new job. All the best, Andy

Agree with you there, CW............ine reason I'm NOT even thinking about going; Paying to take MY vehicle so's they can CHARGE the public to look at it................EH ??? (with the price of fuel, by then, I wonder just how many entries they'll actually get;..........nope, Military Mayhem and w&p will be my trips into kent, this year.

Good,.............saves me bringing another one. :-D Looks to be a good gathering of forum dwellers, for w&p again this year.

I was one, as well..........

Certainly well worth a look,.............there is an ancient right of way, which carries legal vehicular useage; (** best check before using as these Byways do get Traffic Restriction Orders placed on them from time to time **) that run's above them,......there is also a hill fort there as well.

Think you've summed it up, v8 Bubba,.............I find this forum one heck of a friendly place to be, ..........certainly there is non of the backbiting and general petty one-upmanship crap here that unfortunatly does seem to raise it's ugly head on another forum, I (very occasionally, now) log on too. Think is,.............this friendly- ness also carries over to shows,......as anyone who was at Lee's place and Camp nuts, w&p last will agree with. :-D..........................not to mention Jacks (who said POODLE :cool2:) tea making skills......:??? Andy

Hi Chris,............. If you go for RED backing, you'd need to one of the following, 81/55/56/57. (these no's,..and corrisponding regts, made up the 8th Inf Brig. Re location of Z no's,....................don't think there is a 'wrong' location, re doors or bonnets, differing vehicles (esp forward control types,- Matador for example) had them on doors, down to prefferance, I guess....... All the best, Andy

beltring, military mayhem and a few local shows, for me this year.

Right O'........me again; The markings detailed in my last posting, would be on drivers side front mudguard and rear body. On passenger side front/rear vehicles would carry Divisional markings,...........in the case of 3rd Infantry Div, this is a BLACK triangle (base width of 24cm by 22cm high) with a RED triangle upside down, within. (this was middle of black one, giving 3 equal small black triangles around said red one,........if this makes sense. ) Hope info in last two posts is of some help, mate. All the best, Andy Ps, don't forget Bridge classification plate on front, MW's are normally 3.

..............:??? I always thought he went outside, WOODSMAN stlye......:cool2: Welcome to the Friendly forum, 602. All the best, Andy

Hi Chris, Interesting you are going to put Z no on doors, whilst i have seen pic's of MW's with said no's there, I've also seen them with the no's on edge of the right hand bonnet side (just above where the sides slot in),.....must admit to this the location mine will be going on. Re vehicle markings, it CAN start to get 'interesting',.........Typically the arm of service colour for infantry was RED, within which would be a number representing unit/division. Info I've got regarding the units mentioned, and other info that may be of intrest, as follows........... Order of Battle; British 3rd Infantry Division. 6th June 1944. 8th Infantry Brigade, comprising of RED BACKING 1st Batt, The Suffolk Regt. 2nd Batt, The East Yorks Regt. 1st Batt, The South Lancashire Regt. Serial no's for above 81 Hq Senior Inf Brigade 55,56 and 57 Inf Batt. (these no's are white,15.4 cm high on red square backing, of 24.14cm wide by 21.6cm high) 9th Infantry Brigade, comprising of GREEN BACKING 2nd Batt, The Lincolnshire Regt. 1st Batt, The Kings Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB) 2nd Batt, The Royal Ulster Rifles. Serial no's for above 87 Hq Second Inf Brigade 60,61 and 62 Inf batt. (again white no's but on Green backing) 185th Infantry Brigade, comprising of BROWN BACKING 2nd Batt, The Royal Warwickshire Regt. 1st Batt, The Royal Norfolk Regt. 2nd Batt, The Kings Shropshire Light Infantry. (KSLI) Serial no's for above 94 Hq Junior Inf Brigade 67,68 and 69 Inf batt. ( again white no's but on Brown backing) As well as above there is also 2nd Batt Middlesex Regt who were Div troop heavy machine gun and mortar battalion. (Black Backing) Will be back with some more info .........but now, :sweat: THE DENTIST. :shake: Andy

Eggs,..........well I did have an omlette this morning,...... Happy Easter all.

Congrats to both of you........ Did you get a chance to visit the pub at Saltersgate, Mike ?? Hole of Horcum is a great walk,.........so's the climb to the top of Rosberry Topping. ( I hope the swastika graffitti has been painted out from trig point)
