The deed has been done and Marks friends who could made the trip to Crewe to say there final farewells

to him. It had been raining earlier but thanfully it stopped around lunch time the large cogregation of people

waiting outside said something of Marks character, there was a fair representation from local MVT groups

showing his standing not just in one group but quite a few who turned up I counted over 100 people at the

chapel of rest so farewell Mark

Chris

A group of his friends from the Stoke on Trent area wiil be making the trip to Crewe

and meeting up with his many friends to see Mark make his final journey

Chris

Marks funeral will be at Crewe Crematorium next Tuesday 25th Jan at 2.00p.m.

Thats true john Mark certainly livened our trips to Normandy and Arnhem up

when he came with us over there

Commander

It is with deep regrets that I have to announce the sudden passing away of "50 CAL" or "Mark Galley"

known to many on here I am sure he was a larger than life figure in many ways and will be sorely

missed by all his many friends and associates

Commander

Is this show still invitation only ?

Commander

Hi Glyn, I think the Hispano Suiza you have is the one I owned a few years ago

mine had a brass end machined for the barrel but it had the small towing eye

when owned by myself I did have the tool box complete with kit for this gun if

you drop me a PM

My first introduction to MV's was a Champ I bought from a garage in Weston nr Stafford in 1967

with the clutch burnt out for £100 it had been used to tow vehicles in myself and a mate Steve

stripped it down on some waste ground near to were I lived couldn't get a clutch plate but someone

said that a clutch from an old tractor was the same can't remember what marque but finally found

an old tractor on a farm near to the JCB factory went over stripped it down paid £3 for the plate and

Bobs your uncle we painted it black and yellow and used it whenever we could afford the petrol it cost

me fortune to run even then it never broke down but we could never get the charging system sorted

I sold it to a local guy and never saw it again thank god

Commander

Thank for explaining that it was getting to the stage I was going to have

to ask the grandkids what I was doing wrong

Commander

Best deal I should say not was some bits for the Snow Trac

that were given to me for "free" beat that a Sky dish for a tenner

which worked perfectly when we got over to Normandy and a few

other bits and bobs biggest regret not buying the jeep axle but the

car was full as it was oh well thers always next time

Commander

Been on Milweb and I cannot find the 25 pounder for £6,000

C

All right am I thick or what I tried to make a donation earlier and all it did was take

me to a sight in the Netherlands with all the wring in Dutch after 3 attempts I gave up

so what am I doing wrong please explain

Commander

I will be calling in on our way to Normandy for a week had to tell

the better half that we get a better deal on the afternoon sailing

honest would I have an ulterior motive

Commander

Cheers bob much appreciated Chris
