As for the pole - better the devil you know and I didn't see anyone complaining at this years Bunker Bash when a pole was in use however I must point out the technique was all wrong - you're supposed to go down the pole - not up it.

Thought CW's technique was quite good at the HMVF bbq, w&p this year. :cool2:

Well I'm hoping to be there,..won't know until next mar, re booking time off, though.

Bedford MW.

No Mark - men only.:coffee:

:sweat:Umm,.............I do hope, NOT; Jack.....:stop:

I know you've lost your flowing locks, (:???), and it took a Lass to do the deed,..but come on..........I mean, who's gonna pick up the crisp packets, and Enigma's empty coke bottles;

There were 2 programmes on BBC2 tonight, the first at 7pm was on Henry Allingham, the second at 7.30pm was on Harry Patch, both very emotional I felt. Both programmes were shown as changes to the published schedule.

Saw them both; Very moving, as you say; Degsey.

Thought the poem Andrew Motion did for Harry patch was spot on.

Lest We Forget.

Well I'm going,.........

mines no sugar

:rofl::rofl::rofl: OH, look,.................Jacks got HAIR,...........:cool2:

Hi Tim, welcome to the Friendly Forum...........quite a few forum dwellers here from sussex;.........:-D

All the best,

Hi Bob,

Lets see,.........Dodge WC, british service far east, hows about a pic, of such, namely 10th Glosters, 36th Inf Div, Burma, jan '45........yes,in a Dodge WC.

the pic is credited to the imperial war museum and is to be found in osprey men at arms series 187, british battle dress insignia 2 1939 - 45 page 35,by mike chappell. isbn 0-85045-739-4

Sorry, have no means of scanning pic, so I hope info above helps you track it down.

All the best, and welcome to the Friendly Forum.

If they were de-activated I think he would be ok, but these were replicas :shake:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hi Matt,

Welcome to the Friendly Forum; :-D

If looking for a British softskin to make a model of,.......BEDFORD MW. :-D

All the best,

Andy

Mind you,........a CERTAIN poster here, SHOULD have PLI;...........

for his ONIONS...........:cool2:

The Swiss mule/pony soup kitchen sold for £5000 or was it euros?

Think it was £'s.......

Ahem,............twas probably like a lot of 'wwII style' jeeps running about there, then;..............:cool2: as opposed to those carrying true markings/no markings.

I can assure you none of them are of me!!!!!!

:rofl::rofl:............my legs are'nt as hairy as yours, though,Rosie. :cool2::yay:

yep, I'm another of them..........

Must admit to liking those wagons, as well. :-D

Has anyone got any pics of my Bedford MW, 582 cyr (carrying 11 armoured div markings, (charging black bull), esp when around site in mud, etc...........??

As both a vehicle owner, and an (appropriate)uniform wearer, I do have my own PLI, - NOT for when with vehicle, thats covered in its insurance, but for when I display kit off said vehicle,..........if little jonny ducks under my (faKe) barbed wire, and falls over sandbags, etc, I'd not be covered with vehicle insurance, so to cover myself, I've got PLI.

There do seem quite a few folk with various pieces of kit, that are on display, who are 'winging' it re PLI; and I feel its only a matter of time before someone, (member of public) gets hurt, and then the sh*t will hit the fan.

My PLI is through a group membership, and company is Shooters Rights, which covers me with both deac and blank firing firearms.

On the question posed by Clive,.......I'd say I'm not a re-enactor, ......BUT thenagain, I guess I COULD be termed one in the loosest sense, when with vehicle. :confused: :sweat: I Think..........

Gonna go lie down now..........

Andy

Hi Glynn, welcome to the Friendly Forum.

Enjoy,.....

All the best,

Andy

They're good trucks, spares availability is good, motor is the legendary flat head V8, beloved of the custom/hot rod guys/gals.

On the newer diesels, I've heard that air filter elements could be a problem, once stocks are exhausted, as it is/was a 'special',.......although I guess the guys at RR can give you chapter and verse re this.

For a small-ish truely MILITARY vehicle, that is comfy, etc IMO you could do worse;

All the best,

Andy

Hi Steve and Alex;

Some more folk with TASTE, :-D joining this mighty presence,........Bedford, naturaly.

Anyways, enjoy the Friendly Forum.

All the best,

Andy

Twas a good little show, esp as the rain we travelled through from beltring, and which was pelting down upon arrival stopped, and the sun came out...........

Flying display's were good, esp when the wind caught one of them whilst he was doing something interesting, ............(probably caused the pilot do do something 'orribilly interesting :cool2::sweat:in the cabin as well)

Good mix of military types, as well as stationary engines, cars and m/cycles.

A Grand day out..............not mentioning CW fondling his BALLS :shocked: in the maize..........

Andy

This is where i thought i had him.:shake:

:shocked: OY.........leave my ear out of it;.....:-D

Was only able to get down for Saturday & we came by headquarters camp to say hello & seek out Neil but there was nobody home - either that or you buggers saw us coming and hid .
