Rowan, the North Staffs MVT are going in force again this year we should be there from the 2/6/2006 till the 9/6/2006 camping at St Mere Eglise of course you and your crew are welcome to come and join us but you've got to promise not to get to drunk this year lol :whistle: and lead them Scottish guys astray this offer is open to anyone who fancies joining us we usually get a good discount from the ferry company and the camp site facilities are rearly good and of course it is in walking distance to the town centre I think the yougest going is 3 years old and the oldest is 3 score years plus ** Commander

I have found quite a few of these tend to close the plug gap it seems on there own when being run so whip the plugs out and check them first of all C

I think that you are bashing the MVT over the calender which they have no control over it is the area which does it for the year that deceides what goes in to the calender not the MVT hirearchy just my 2 penny worth Commander

Rambo which gearbox you looking for because were cutting up a long wheel base at the moment Commander

The best bargain I got was a pair of wire rimmed glasses for the princely price of NOWT, ZILCH, FREEEEEEEEE my favourite price Commander 8-)

Anybody coming down to the Malvern Show on the 18th /19th November in the South Wales area by the jct of the M5 and the M50 with over 250 stalls this is one of the biggest shows apart from Stoneleigh in the U.K. it is held at the Three Counties Showground Malvern Commander :roll:

Ref "Which one first" Personaly I would put the torch to the heaviest first that way you will get some brass back from the scrap man to pay for the gas to cut the other one up Commander

The only injury was to the pride of the driver of the Bren, the jeep he ran into was pushed into the back of another one of our groups jeeps which bent his front bumper out of shape on the tow hitch the rear of his jeep was pushed in and the cross rear members bent out of shape lucky rearly there was no cyclists or motorbikes in between you could see the skid marks on the road where the steel tracks had slid on the road , just remember to not have one following you unless your in a GMC or bigger Commander

Sounds like your Dodge took a lot less to put right than the jeep which got smacked up the rear end by the Bren gun carrier on the race to the bridge Commander

You need a coil from a old type car i.e. not a modern one with electronic ignition these tend to burn out very quickly a coil from a old mini would do Commander

I'm glad to see it's not only me who has a problem Commander

I endorse everything posted just got back home to North Staffs and I'm cream crackered today weather was great and a good turn out of veterans as well the picture of the Dakota with the paras jumping is of the reenactors who pay for this experience the ones from our group all landed safely this year 2 years ago one broke his leg but this year he was back again and did it sucessfully sorry I missed the rest of you guys but the Brit Para guys and their jeeps did the race to the bridge in Arnhem we also got pride of place at the front of the drop zone on Ginkel Heath mind you after having to get up at 05.00 hrs wash, eat, get ready be inspected and be on the Heath for 07.00 hrs I was getting to feel rather fazzed by the time the drop had finished but still well worth it Commander

Thanks for the offers guys , but Cosby was this weekend took the gun down and it just sat on its own with a couple of .50 cals as its defence did offer it to the Brit contingent there but for the responce I got I do not know why I bothered show was a stunner can only get better one to watch Commander

Anyone want to do a deal I have 2 late deacts and 1 early deact looking to swop for any WW2 era weapons Commander

I will be taking our 25 pounder down to Cosby on Friday for the weekend and was wondering if anyone going in brit gear wanted to set up around it Commander

If there is any other guys going who want to come to a school in Arnhem with us on Friday afternoon to meet the kids and do a bit of explaining feel free to get in touch this is something we started doing a few years ago after being asked if we wouldn't mind apparently this was a first for them to get involved with the event paticipants at their school a word of warning do not attend if you suffer from a nervous condition I forgot what the sound of a class of screaming little kids was like C

£102. is a lot to pay for a 8 to 10's uniform even for you Degsy joking apart did you notice no mention of labels with dates or sizes of authenticity so could be later or even repro C

Feel free to call in just ask any of the Brits for Commander Bond. C

Bill if you want to hook up with us over the week end feel free to do so we are camping on the left side of the road past the Hartenstein museum leaving Oosterbeek 2 km Commander

So that's where them strange talking folk come from who follow us around live lol :roll: Commander

You idle git Jack get up early like everyone else has to who lives 150 miles or more away C

Yes but only when it rained , the rest of the time it was blue skies and sun to dry it all out then that's right it rained again C

1, To old (well I feel that way) 2, To fat (everybody tells me this) 3, To skint (still recovering from falling off roof in Jan) 4, And finally got more sense (why jump from a perfectly good plane) Commander
