Hello all,
I am Russ Nurse, a Sgt in the RAF police based at RAF Honington, in Suffolk, near Bury St Edmunds.
I, (we, my Sqn), have recently been gifted a Shorland SB401, and an RAF Police Command vehicle, together with 'Pansy Potter', an armoured VIP escort vehicle, (which has not arrived with us yet).
My purpose in joining this forum is to try to gain some knowledge and insight on how to go about restoring this classic vehicles. i have been tasked with giving them an external make over and putting them on display as part of an RAF heritage trail.
Any info on where to source parts, how to obtain correct paint etc would be most useful. I have been in touch with Clive Elliot, who has already been of great help, as the acknowledged expert on Shorlands. He was even able to provide the original key numbers!!!!
I am looking forward to inter acting with you all and learning about our vehicles.
