Nope. It's nothing to do with the wounded.

It is not for carrying a packed lunch or anything like that. It is for specific equipment. In fact what you see forms part of the equipment itself & the thing at the base is very significant.

No it isn't from that book which was 1911. This book is 1921. No significance in the poor quality picture, I haven't doctored it.

This book is not yet out but I am sure will be well worth a read for those interested in general policing & internal security. I have known the author for many years & he has amassed a vast pool of photos & records. Many of the vehicles described are ex-Army & some of the RUC vehicles subsequently became registered to the British Army. As an owner of two such vehicles I await the book with interest. http://www.ianallanpublishing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=570_490&products_id=56660

Hmm I think that would be the responsibility of a psychological warfare unit or public relations office. This man has equipment that is fulfilling a remit of RAMC.

Yes it does, but it isn't. This is an earlier publication with a different title.

OK thanks everyone. Andy, so less noise must mean less friction & less heat. Expensive! I would only need 1/3 pint. I wonder if the are small quantity suppliers? R3, the drum was full & had a plastic seal built into the nozzle. Thinking about it the first fill up was in the winter with EP90 as I bought the OEP220 in April. Most people use EP90 & they seem to get loss through breather. But other Humber owners seem more relaxed (or unaware) of this issue than me! AG90 is that an extreme pressure oil though? I notice Bedford MK & R series use OC600 in the TF/box. That is mineral oil with 6% rape seed oil. But I see the spec says not for hypoid gears. Neil, expensive indeed. Richard does come on this forum & maybe add to this, but I think he has his hands full at the moment with other things.

A clue can be seen at the base of the bag. It shows up better on the first picture.

Well the original TF box is now rebuilt. Seems to turn nicely & the propshaft that goes to the front wheels for selection to 4WD, turns freely when it is in 2WD. So it is now installed again. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/fv1620/Dscf4373-1.jpg[/img] But same trouble, oil is still being lost from the breather. Plan B was to tap a hole for an alternative place for the breather 2 inches higher up, with due regard to the architecture of the casting inside, it is a fairly sheltered from the direct squirting of oil from the gears. But oil is lost just as readily from this higher breather position. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/fv1620/Dscf4327a.jpg[/img] Although OEP220 is what was used in service as required by the Servicing Schedule, some have suggested that there is no anti-frothing agent in OEP220 but there probably is in an EP90. This all sounds very reasonable. But I doubt if most privately owned Humbers get treated to OEP220, the owners will be using EP90 yet still they have breather leakage problems. I am wary of using a thinner oil as this will increase wear, but was still thinking of an additive. Looking at the Saladin Servicing Schedule new transfer boxes at the 500 mile service have OX320 added to the OEP220. So that it is present in 10% concentration. OX320 is 90% mineral oil & 10% colloidal graphite. Anyone any experience of adding graphite additives in anything?

Jack perhaps you should use a pseudonym for asking serious questions. Then there wouldn't be so much frivolity. But if you did want to have a laff & frivolty come on as yourself ;-)

Nope Nope Yes!

I see what you mean but nope.

Ooh no no no, this man is a corporal in the RAMC.

Nope. Maybe the second photo doesn't help. I don't know if this helps, but there was a mule version of this special equipment.

2 x nope. When I posted it originally I censored the photo a little, in case it made it too easy. Here is the uncensored version. But thinking about it, probably it may not help?

I can't accept that as an answer I'm afraid, I think you are being rather vague on this one. What specific flavour are you suggesting?

Nope

Paul, see: http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/PAINTINGpart2.pdf People go on about what is close match for the black from B&Q etc. But it is usually cheaper to buy the real stuff at shows!
