Finally got our hands on the WW2 105 Howitzer we have been waiting for it is a Rock Island model

the thing we are missing is a manual for same and some advice on what to load for blank firing and

yes I have a amendment on my licence to own and fire one just the knowledge and experience to

learn safely how it is done

Commander

Well on the whole I thought it was pretty good, ok Kitcheners was a bit rough for camping but I've camped on a lot worse,

toilets and showers on Kitcheners was a bit grim at times for the amount of people there, yes it was a slog to get around

at times in the sun I must admit it passed through my mind to waylay one of those invalid scooter things, the biggest gripe

we had was not with the organisers but on Tuesday morning when we got there was with a group that had marked off a large

area and had 2 vehicles, on we set up our tents and then were told this is reserved for our group who are coming and we were asked to move which we did only to see only 2 more vehicles arrive and over half the area that was roped off left empty, the

encampment next to us was set up when we arrived on Tuesday and Friday night people started to come and fill it up, next year

we will be there over 500 miles for the round trip but it's worth it

Commander

I was there at 06.30 and the only thing I saw was that the showers were not working the toilets were

and about 1 hour later nothing was working because there was no water

Commander

A lot depends on the country you are bringing it in from

Commander

So, as usual lots of spaces being claimed who may only arrive on the wednesday when the show begins or even later?

 

Damn, we have to drive in 4 countrys and cross the channel to HOPE we'll find a place while looking at nearly empty claims as allmost allways.

And we'll arrive this Saturday.

I agree it is annoying to drive 250 miles to find vast areas roped off and only to get claimed later in the week or

find that it is only half occupied maybe the organisers could come up with a system where by if it is not claimed

or occupied to its potential they do not get to rope off again just a thought

Commander

There is an old WW2 USAAF airfield at Lessay in the next village to ours in Normandy

and you could hire a 4 seater plane with a pilot and do the D Day beaches if I remember

rightly it wasn't that expensive either

Commander

Commander

The cost of buying a diesel engine and having it fitted to a GMC would just be uneconomic

unless you intended doing a massive amount of driving to recoup your investment I know

diesel is cheaper to buy but you are only saving less than 10 pence a litre

Commander

Our 6X6 used to average about the 12 to 14 to the gallon mark averaging about the 40 to 45 mph and

also have loads of space it was easier to drive than the GMC and a lot easier to manouvere around

as well but I am biased in favour of Dodges also a Dodge will run on contaminated fuel i.e. diesel/petrol

which have been drained out of cars that have been miss fueled upto a 15% mix at max which makes

very cheap motoring a GMC does not run well on contam at all Ohh and I like your style with the Hotels

Commander

I am off to Normandy on the 29th of May in my Dodge Command Car and dropping down

into Brittany first from Cherborg via Mont St Michel then looping around and coming up to

the beaches for the 6th June not as far as you are contemplating I suppose but we have

over 200 miles to drive in the U.K. to just to a ferry port good luck on your trip it it was me

doing your trip I would go for a Dodge 6X6

Commander

I have just got my firearms licence back from Staffordshire police and they have just passed my application

Commander

First crack the nut off on the pipe that goes into the carb one turn should be enough then prime the pump and see if fuel

comes out, if not next check the flexi connector to check this take the pipe out of the filter put your finger over the end then

prime the pump you should get a suction on your finger if not you have a leak on the system if it has got suction reconnect the take the other pipe off the filter and prime again see if you heve suction if not the gasket on the filter is cream crackered

Commander

I'm glad someone on here got the Polsten I sent him an email and didn't even receive a reply

Commander

You will need to change the bracket if you buy the kit other than that just make your own

it isn't that hard when you buy your alternator pick one that is a popular model i.e. from

a popular car in the scrap yard that way you will have a plentiful supply of cheap replacements

if you are still looking for a 12 volt starter motor I a spare

commander

You have still to buy a 12 volt distributer which are not cheap and a coil and leeds

commander

Commander

If you are putting a lot of weight in the trailer you really need to buy my M series jeep trailer

commander

The ABWO site is 100% British and to be quite honest you would feel a bit out of place

when going out on the runs in civvies and doing the race to the bridge it is a requirment

for all the front runners are kitted out correctly you'll enjoy it I guarantee

Commander

I can recomend the ABWO site stayed there a number of times

Commander
