I picked up this helmet. Can anyone identify it, please.

They gave us a hall off the main hall, it does look like a real live museum

we got about 15,000 visitors

it was great.

The Irish speaking TV station, TnaG recording on the Tank

Star Wars re enactors from Northern Ireland

just some models that wanted to be photographed with a father figure

We do a show over here every year, and although not a military show as such it gets us a lot of publicity.

As you can see we get huge crowds for the three days

He,He! HI Sue

got my new Tank to a show

just some models that wanted to be photographed with a father figure

These are better

A nice man offered to fill up our fuel tanks

We are holding our 2nd Show on the 30th and 31st of aug at Dublin Airport

I'm bringing both chieftians and there will also be a lot of reenactors.

there should be about 50 vehicles.

we are only a cheap flight away and any visitors could combine a trip to Dublin.

I'm Back

pic's to follow

yes fred, about the start up

i learnt that the hard way

hold until you hear the metadynes start

after waiting for the light to go out on the psu

I'm missing two fuse's and caps from the PSU in the mk 11

anyone got any?

doe's the turret batteries play a big part in the performance of the gun kit?

she'd still beat Ya!

now this looks like fun

Ok, here we go again

I've decided to get the turrets working now

As it stands

1st Tank, the new one.

Psu starts light gos out ,turn knob to non stab, metadynes start ok.

Commanders or gunners thumb controller doe's not control any turret movement.

Gunners,There is a loud click when you pull the lever but no movement.

Commanders, there is a loud click and as soon as you pull it the gun depresses without command

2nd tank, the mk 11,

the psu will not start

pictures to follow

I've tried to google here but there is no definition

I think your right

everything wired like a house to stop interferance

or

if the hull got a live earth (a live shorted to the hull)could it feed back and operate a circuit?

Reassembled rear decks today and everything is working ok in the gearbox area

hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone

At approx 1430 today my Mk 11 moved on main gearbox for the first time in 7 years

To achieve this I changed

The gearbox controller (was OK)

Dashboard (broken gauge)

The main engine switch board (switch gone)

The solenoid block complete (busbar gone, solenoids rusted)

I serviced

the Hull main junction box

The hull rear junction box

handbrake micro switch

And I had to learn all about the wiring loom

I got some great advice from all on this site and assistance, Thank you all.

Last thing

the N line in the solenoid block

to get the solenoids to work i had to earth this from the N terminal to the gearbox, so the last problem is tracing back this line all the way

From N terminal to ??????

Anyone know where it terminates and how it gets there

And could i just earth it to the box permanently

New pic sent from a mobile to me

Anyhow

what sick bastard buys their kid a Dash for Xmas

Sorry to hear that

I got some good news last week. A friend from this site who wishes to remain Anonymous called me.

So Eileen and myself flew over and collected a Dash and a solenoid block.

Ryanair have no sense of humour when it comes to being overweight.

I mean what's 30 kgs between friends?

told her (the checkin Lady) that i had Xmas presents

Cut no Ice

Guess what I'm on tomorrow?

hoping for a move on some parts by Friday, checking on list

i've checked it once

i've checked it twice

Standby

Standby

when i bought the 2nd tank it was with that in mind.

but its to good, so i'm trying to keep them both.

And don't forget they are the only tanks in the south, so to have a tank battle between the two at our show in the summer would be great

the conditions we are working under

thank you kev
