Surveyor

I am after someone to transport a Bedford QL from Kelso to Mid Wales.

 

Jonathan

What condition is it in?

Any one have a picture of what it would look like complete?

I have to say I have been watching this, I was involved in the re cladding of shed 1 and also managed to get a visit into shed 2, the former Fire Testing Station

It seems 50% of chosen excavation pits completed = 50% chance left ,,

I am sure this is the start of a quote from "Naked Gun" with Leslie Nielson

IIRC - it was "Night Probe" - story was there were two copies of a treaty - one went down in a shipwreck, the other was lost when a train was stolen by a "daring train robber" who blasted the entry to the tunnel it was hidden in - and over cooked the bang sealing everyone inside.

Thanks, I was about to go up the attic and try and find it to get its name

I have had a "gentleman" who went into the back of my 1986 Tithonous Land Rover, the value of repair the insurance company have said is greater than the value, strangely they are asking for the other insurance company to assess the state of repairs required. I am challenging this as they will act on the negligent persons behalf.

Have any one else come across this and what was the result?

The insurance company have started saying I could have the vehicle registered as a C or D category which affects the sale on value

I think you need to clarify a bit, is it a purchase from a private individual in which case I would suspect all should be in place, if purchase direct from MoD a bit more complicated

I saw this online and thought it was appropriate for this forum

The link states

"English village that became an exercise area for US troops preparing to invade Europe in 1943 during World War II"

Oh Kerist, don't get me started on cyclists. Last week one collided with me at night when I was walking on the pavement near my house and tonight an almost identical incident only this time there was two of 'em and I was only clipped on the arm. They were all adults riding at speed without lights and came from behind me, none of them stopped and in the first incident the busturd swore at me and rode on laughing, leaving me lying on the floor. It's a well lit main road and I will recognise him, my time will come and big and young as he is, old age and an old trick will cause this tw*ts downfall.:cool2:

I sympathise with you, when working in London a majority seemed to think the Highway Code was not for them, especially red traffic lights

Managed to find this picture, not sure of the references of the stencils.

Can any one help?

I remember a book by Clive Cussler here they looked for a manuscript where the UK "gave" Canada to the USA, the last threads seem to reflect this.

May be Time Team should be there

This may cause problems for charity organisers, all their web sites advise to have a safety vehicle behind the cyclist, just what I have done

I find threads like this absolutely enthralling, I wish I had the knowledge and more importantly the courage to attempt this kind of thing, my dabbles on the Land Rover have no comparison.

All members that do this please be assured when I can find them I do read them, sometimes they give me an idea.

Grey Funnel Line

The front of the trailer has a worn out stencil, does any one have a picture of what should be there, I am assuming the top

line is the NSN, the date is not the date into service and I have requested an FOI to try and clarify.

Wonder how many more images of kit being transported there are

Was navigating along Google street view to Thorney Island airfield/barracks and saw this

Was Down at Witham the other day, checked the Landrovers all brackets as mine, solves one problem.

Got the Bull dog 28 inch spade and found it does not fit either, need to source a spade

Hi all,

Bit of a long shot but here goes....

I was at The Yorkshire Wartime Experience july 2016, & behind the German end of things there was a WC54 for sale in the field.

Does anyone know who ownes it or have any contact details for the owner please.???

All the best, 2Door...

Have you tried the organisers? they may know or point in the right direction

What to stick in on does bring up some amusing thoughts

We have a lot of Highland Cows around areas I work, personally don't fancy attaching it to one of them

I would have sat up all night with a couple of mates with bats as a welcome party for them .

Vampire bats?

There is a bit of info about the cookers here:

This is a good link many thanks

Looking for dry secure storage for 2 - 3 land rovers, does any one have a contact?

Yep the good old No.2 Cooker! If kept clean & looked after, they are very reliable. As one of the MANY other tasks in the Armourers workshop. we were responsible for cooker repairs (& Kero Heaters!) & I have serviced & repaired many hundereds of these.

 

Yours is an Improved model, with stainless steel diffuser & 'Key' operated flame control.

The original models had a single jet in a steel funnel cup. & these used to get blocked quite frequently. These cookers had a single strand of wire mounted in an Ally handle. This was for clearing the jets when needed, which as I said previously.

Was a common occurance. This was due to debris build up in the jet, from small/ tiny. Paint flakes, from filling from jerry cans. J/Cs were red led paint lined internally. This did in time flake off, & cause the blockages.

 

Even the small mesh filter screen in the filling funnel. Did not stop the fine dust like particles from clogging the jets in usage!

 

These are easy work on & keep going in the field. Which is a boon at shows! They are VERY efficient when up & running, & get your pans hot. VERY quickly!

Many thanks for the info

Not specific to your Penman trailer but this may help you:-

What is the fault with the lighting?

At the moment one set of lights and fog lights will not come on, bulbs okay, am about to crawl under and trace the wiring in case there is a brake or it has been pulled in the junction box under neath

Thats a shame, but I guess thats why they have viewing days, shame is most of their auctions are in Holland.

Out of interest I wonder what the reply from Withams would be if a similar question was asked. I suppose you can only commment on dealings with them, in my case 100% positive.....

I needed a serial number to see if I could get insurance, Bea at Withams was brilliant getting it for me, other times had questions response came back accurately

its also missing its spanner so if sold as unissued thats wrong

There is a spanner, just didn't get in the shot
