    Although a "bracket" it looks to me yes more like clamp. Given the DMC of W8 & the NSC 1095 the only thing that seems to fit for both is for mounting some "weapon" to a Wheelbarrow such as Pigstick or shotgun. I have the EMERs for Mk7 & AESPs for Mk8 with the ISPLs for both but can't for the life of me find any of them at the moment.

    Doug if you are into armour then I think Bovington's Tankfest in June is a must. It has developed into a comprehensive & professional display of armour that is always a sell out. It is quite a development from the old Battle Day event (although personally I preferred the informality of the earlier events)

    Yes Laurence http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15g-Castrol-Red-Rubber-Grease-Brake-Caliper-Fluid-Mini-Tin-BUY-2-GET-5-OFF-NOW-/131714656463?hash=item1eaace28cf:g:WqsAAOxyu~lSTrTO

    Indeed & this type of interspace brush is particularly useful for small awkward recesses & also for dislodging spider's nests in the top corners of window panes. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CTS-Super-Slim-Interspace-Brush-/301644990391?hash=item463b7147b7:g:1qkAAOSwKtVWvcsK

    Jak I've just checked my database I see I have Army Code No.40081 CES. Cooking, Outfit, Field, No.5. May 1985 Does that sound like it?

    Sean yes well untangled. I've run it through my system & confirms that but I note that it was used by New Zealand in addition to the UK. With MEXEC33811 it is tempting to assume that is the Military Engineering Experimental Establishment, Christchurch & this represents a design pattern or drawing number in the same way as the FVRDE signified a design/drawing with the prefix FV.

    John I have searched for that, as others have no doubt tried, but come up with nothing. I have found 91,524 items within that NSC & 176,137 Brackets none of them that share those two parameters that are British. Nor could I get any sense from items that included the manufacturer's number 33811. Zooming in, as I neglected to do originally, it looks as if the NSN is actually 1095-99-2505-026 (rather than 1095-99-2503-021) That gave a result as "Cancelled without replacement"

    I use DOT-4 in my Wolf & trailer, what you need to avoid introducing is DOT-5 which is silicone.

    There is RSG-6 http://www.southhams.com/directory/salcombe-bunker-tours-art-and-party-venue-220.html I don't know what access is available particularly out of season. When it was operational the direct number used to be Kingsbridge 2611 but I'm not meant to know that :cool2:

    Just be careful because some of these policies do not cover you if you use it to travel to work in it or even an occasional use doing work for a charity.

    I try to rely on the military spec laid down in the Servicing/Maintenance Schedule, if I can't get that match it to the SAE spec rather than rely on a civilian do-it-yourself book. What trailer do you have?

    Don't forget to look out for bits of the old stone railway lines. http://www.richkni.co.uk/dartmoor/granite.htm

    "H-542OX-8" is a compression of the NATO designation H-542 & the MOD Defence Standard OX-8 There is some coverage here: http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/POLcompact.pdf

    Can you tell us the full NSN, might be part of Wheelbarrow?

    Was it actually worth watching for 59 mins? Was there anything that was revealed that we didn't know already from the links on here? It's not so much that I'm necessarily averse to wasting 59 mins, but there is no broadband here & I have to go on line through a 4G network & I always seem to end up close to my allowance :-(

    Pekka I hope these sandbags were laid out in a prescribed fashion. I wonder if they were the same as the British Army but I don't even know if Finnish sandbags are even the same size!

    Robert thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Several posters were on the trail & I thought it would be 'game over' quite quickly but often the basic things get missed & more complicated & ingenious ideas get put forward. Many may have thought that chucking a few sandbags on the floor for mine protection might have been a fairly ad hoc arrangement, but no the Army have a prescribed set of requirements & as we have seen on another MO that even extends to notice boards.

    Not just for Land Rovers

    Don't want to make it too easy Bernard do we? I did wrestled with whether to show the dip switch or not. Most youngsters wouldn't recognise what it was & the old uns would say it was confusing as the dip switch is way off position.

    RAC Training. Armour. Volume II - Part 4. 1971.

    Absolutely correct Wally well done! Picture to follow
  22. fv1609
    Not specifically NI Richard, although I think the date is significant but this is not GRP though
  23. fv1609
    I suppose it would do that to a small degree
  24. fv1609
    Yes Adrian that is correct
  25. fv1609
    Nope, more basic than that Gordon
