Yes thats the other one lol reminds me when I did swimmer of the watch do like the imogy

Having been range qualified I was looking at Witham and this flag was stated as being a range flag, I do not remember this one for either land or sea, any clues, it looks more like the one for the beech where it says safe to swim but stand to be corrected

The Tallboys were spin stabilized and dropped in a straight line but when released from c 2.5 miles high still took a bit of luck to hit the target.    

Reading I think Paul Brickhalls book i seem to recall they designed a bomb site which they reckoned as more accurate than the Americans, a challenge was issued by them but nothing cam of it

Oh yes!! I heard this on the BBC Radio 4 news yesterday. Apparently and I quote - It was sunk by the Brtish Army. 🤣

Wonder what the range of the guns would have to be to reach the ship from dry land, the calculations to hit a moving target at that distance must have been interesting

Saw this and though the images were good

Ruxy, these days you need to be an approved contractor to work on roads or adjacent to them hence the fees

Can Transport as far as Fife if that helps, pass Catterick Thursday or Friday every week usually

BBC have just announced this Veteran who escaped Dunkirk

No worries, just been comparing pictures, I am lead to believe mine was commanders radio set up hence the DMU and battery box, will look through the manuals to see if i can find a set up for yours

Still to wire it up but pleased with the look.

I work in Wakefield and pass Northallerton every week if you need a chat, 

Just got mine done

I have the attached alternator for the Land Rover 24 Volts can any  one point me in the direction of a maintenance manual,

Many thanks

Were these dumping into the Beaufort Dyke?

I seem to recall a large number of areas on the Admiralty Charts showing munition dumps

It looks like there is a mark partly off shot is this a company or registration, I know some of my kit has vehicle reg on it

At last back on the trailer, I have attached the before and after pictures, Penman very kindly sold me the handle at a good price.

Yes I know its nothing compared with some of the restoration on here, but as only started learning mechanics in last couple of years.

Small victories for some one but for me a vast learning curve

Sounds interesting any pictures?

It looks to me that the shells are on a sloping bank recently dug, would that be normal practice?

Where are you based? just thinking of transport costs

I seem to recall the geography department had these at the University of Dundee, my father explained that you always had the shadows in one direction and now I cant remember the details

Not sure where you are based but in Wakefield there is an Ironmongery you can buy all sizes of rivets and they are not in packs.
