Sounds good, to me; Would need a lift, though, once there,...... don't think MW would like the M25. :shake::sweat: Any dates in mind ?? Andy

:-D Sooooo, assuming a slot could be found in an already busy calender,....who would be interested ??

Oh,....is that what you were doing, in the arena, at Mil mayhem, :cool2:.......we all thought you were trying to attract the attention of that circling HELECOPTER.............:whistle: Welcome to the Friendly Forum, Panelvan. All the best, Andy

When this idea was mentioned again,.......over a cup of Jacks tea, at W&p, the idea of holding such an event, was as a HMVF get-together,...with road run to local places of (historical) interest. Certainly, a HMVF only rally, I feel would seem inclusive,....something the forum strives to avoid. Andy

We shoulda TIED you down and shaved you before that was taken,...........only I KNOW you'd have enjoyed it too much. :sweat: Albert Figg,...what an amazing man. Somewhere I've got a write up on his determination to get a churchill tank onto Hill 112 as a memorial to all those armoured crewmen who gave their all. Thanks to the organisers for allowing me the Privilege of meeting him. All the best, Andy

Good points,.........ventilation, the key here.

Have a Great Day, Saturday; Vince................:yay: (I hope somewhere during the day, there IS a burning SOFA celebration. :-D) All the best to you both. Andy

The way I look at it, is, if its a Military Vehicle rally,.........then ALL military vehicles SHOULD be welcomed. Ok, if the event is themed, such as salute to the forties,chatham, or the majority of railway at war type events, then I can see the reasons for thirties/forties vehicles only. Would be the same if an organiser wanted to stage a Gulf war type event,.........my MW WOULD be entirely Out of Place at it. Andy

well, the STRAWBERRY GIRL's are real, enough,........eh, David. :cool2:

Cheers, Mate. All the best, Andy

:rofl: Great Pic...........

Just dont leave them together in a darkened draw,............:cool2:

Well, I won't be there (I don't think)............at present work commitments are standing in the way. :cry:

Buckets,........to you, as well..........:-D Having attended Mil Mayhem,i reckon there is enough room for a HMVF area,.............yes, i know we already had TWO, this year, :-D..........but with a bit of forward planning, :sweat:think of the varied display we, as a forum/vehicle owners, could stage,..............almost time-line. Another thought,...........Steam Rallys,...we, as easy Co, already stage displays in our local area,.........hows about aproaching one of the larger ones, suggesting, if they have a large enough space, that we could set up display within their event,........I'm thinking they may well we very approachable regarding said idea, as with rising costs of everything, orgaiisers will need to start looking to showcase attractions, to encourage punters, with something different. Just some idea's.......... Andy

I've an idea it may be a simulation of beach wall defences,.....think I remember reading something about these, a while ago, on another forum;.......troops practiced breeching them, in various ways;.......If I'm thinking straight, I believe there is a similar structure in scotland. have a look at www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/nwh_gfx_en/ART22136.html Andy

Glad you've enjoyed reading it,............I did also, along with my Dad, who was RASC. Andy

Whats the Chilwell Census list, then,..Richard. ??

I saw one of the dancing girls placing it in somewhere safe,........:sweat:she DID say it was cold, though. :cool2:

Thats the reason I like Steam Rallys,..........usually a great mix of differing vehicles,.......quite a few ex mil, doing another job.

If we're going in for rhyme,.........how about 'The Sailors Farewell',.........(not) :evil: Ahem.....:cool2:

From the pic's,..........and it could be just the angle, as photo'd, chassis looks very narrow.......??

My mums brother came home after being a pow of the Japanese,....according to her, he was a different man, and died an early death. My father taught squaddies to drive DUKW's, in n.wales. (6 weeks intensive, no parades,.not to much bullshine, etc). With in the camp, they also had Alligators and Weasles, although he says he didn't get to drive these much.

Interesting the type/mark box is not filled in,.ie fuel tanker, there don't appear to be ditto (" ") marks, either,...........just 12/70 ?? dunno what that stands for. Nice to see orig WD no, though, Baz, this I'm thinking would be prefixed by the letter H, ......(for tractor) All the best, Andy

don't think whoever watered it, used his MIND..........:cool2::whistle:

Cheers for highlighting this,.........must admit to missing it in pillbox study notification email...:n00b: Andy
