    Church bells rang throughout Britain in 1942 to signify the end of the battle of El Alamein.

    You could get new ones cut by a plant glass replacement company, we have a good one nearby they will have a go at anything.

    About 08.15 a Jackal on the northbound A189 in Northumberland. Sorry no picture. It looked out of place in the rain.

    Having watched the program last night from the Royal Albert Hall and this mornings from the Cenotaph. I was struck once again by the thought of the number of people who selflessly give up there time to help others to be there, and to organize these events. There is also the enormous loss of tallent to the world caused by the events being commemorated. I bow my head in reflection and appreciation.

    If the vehicle is operating under normal light load conditions GL1 oils without EP adatives are quite adequate,for use in manual gearboxes and spiral beval differentials. Synthetic GL4 and 5 oils would be used in sustained high load high speed operations,

    I agree it is a matter of proportion, but someone else may read the post and think it is OK to dump an IBC full down the drain. Great work on the trucks they will look factory fresh when you are finished.

    I do not think the drain is a good place to dispose of the resulting brew. As it will contain dilute hydrocarbons from any paint oil and grease, as well as metal oxides and lead in the sludge. It is technically the residue from an industrial process and should be anallised before disposal.

    I drove a QL years ago that had a hinge in the near side chassis rail above the rear axle. So that the rear section on the near side could be folded forward, I was told that it was an air portable truck.

    Just go to browse and look in the different sections pick the most appropriate.

    A Leyland meets Scammell design consept.

    If you click on to it you can put your likes on easily. If you have a Tilly then you go to an Austin K2. RLs came to late for WW2. I think a QL needs the hub lifting plates and the gas table. A QL pulling hard in 2nd with its somehow endearing whine. Or the sight and sound of a Flathead V8 in a WOT6 leaving a Mullberry loaded with stores.

    When you look at a Martian it is a complex vehicle for its day. Long Straight 8, Walking beam rear bogie. Braking system!
