Welcome aboard Frank, do you do stuff with 14th Armoured or 2nd Armoured, your toys look familiar? Just north of you sometimes, but for the last many years way east of you..

Welcome. .and a jeep is a good place to start.

Hello I just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my family's military vehicles we used for my sister's wedding at the weekend and was wondering if anyone else has pictures of their pride and joys 'off duty' so to speak, very proud of the vehicles as none of the played up on the hottest day of the year with some tight timescales to contend with.

Welcome to the HMVF

That's fantastic. Do you have early, pre restoration pics??

Put it on ebay for £3000 and someone will buy it lol

There is an empty wagon coming back from the Colchester area to Wigan on Tuesday 15th April. It is an eight legger Brimec that can carry 15 tonnes and is has an HIAB behind the cab but this will not lift a lot. It will not be inexpensive......

Please PM me before Monday.

thanks for posting that

 

Pete

Hi, Im Marcel age 32 from Holland. Last year I bought my first military vehicle, a 1943 Willys MB!

I hope to learn a lot here!

Ca Va Mon Vie! Aren't you a bit early? (Crapuad joke to fool the Donkeys in our midst) There are some from across the gap here as well.

welcome on board. Nice wheels, you don't see them so often

welcome to the forum, superb vehicle, nice to see early ones saved !

great story of honour and duty

a truly inspirational story ! needs to be more well known.....make a great film !!

hi welcome along

welcome along

Cheers Munga (at least you didn't throw them away eh - no doubt you'll have heard operators tell of filling skips with old stuff - one mentioned he threw a load of JPM Sys80 PCBs on a bonfire - JPM System80 games were among my favourites as a kid)

 

Sounds like an interesting collection - whereabouts are you?

Aha !! a jeep thing good oh ! Paul I'm glad the Mw lives on so to speak Looks a nice M 38 but must admit I know little about them apart from the fact I have an M38 engine block in my garage that I was going to build as a spare for my GPW does it need much TLC ? you'll have to post up lots more pics for us all, good luck with your new project.

 

The Rivet.

thats a nice early one ! love the name !!.......always liked the m170 ambulances......

I just joined the group today after several weeks of finding myself here as a result of google searches. I'm the proud new owner of a 1943 Matchless G3L from contract number S4555 which the previous owner told me helped defeat the Nazis in Europe - although he had no evidence to prove it. I've been looking for WWII period pictures of G3L's from my contract (Census numbers 580XXXX) to see what markings they may have had in the field, if anyone has any posted please let me know!

 

Thanks
