Hi Rob thanks for the info . I do not fancy taking one of the tyres off and changing it around in case I bugger it up. Do you have a clear picture of the sight bracket and sight because the one I have is missing these parts thanks chris

Sorry to hijack your thread but I see that the tyres are going in opposite directions is this right ?. The reason I ask on my 76mm Cannon they are fitted like that also and I was wondering if this is correct ?. Commander

They look very nice are they live firers or deactivated Commander

Well I thought it was a pretty good show all of the 72 mince pies went as did the calva/coffee nice to see so many friends C

We are in our usual space Hall 2 Stalls 83/84/85 so if anyone is down at Malvern this Sunday call in for a home made mince pie and a shot of Cavados/Coffee Commander

If anyone knows of any traders who might be interested in coming along to our shindig over the weekend this is "FREE" even to traders who attend and trade all we ask is if you have a good show is to make a small donation to Foxfield Steam Railway without who we could not put this on Commander

It's only 2 weeks till the show at Malvern so who is going ? C

If anyone is going along in a military vehicle to this event you will get free admission to the show Commander

It also clashes with a Military show being held at Uttoxeter Racecourse this Sunday Commander

As I understand it "IMPS" members get in for free, if you are a member of the MVT as I am you have to pay to exhibit at W&P Commander

Hi guys all are welcome to attend and we will be there beforehand for anybody wanting to come early and also a Monday departure for those who do not have a tight deadline to keep but a word of warning about the scrumpy cider and the special strong draught beers they have on sale in the bar gives me a terrible headache in the morning so you have been warned we also have some of the free commemorative china mugs we had done for 2015 left so if anyone did not pick theirs up drop me a line and I will put one to aside for you Commander

Well seeing as I am only one of the organisers of this event and the Foxfield Railway Committee are the ones supplying the safety officers and overnight security and when we are on sight from the Wednesday till the Tuesday sorting things out so it does not go belly up and I am sure that the organisers of the war and peace show and other shows camp out over night to be on hand or do they delegate others in their absence to keep an eye on things Commander

Well seeing that I only live 400 metres away where would you rather sleep in a nice comfortable bed or in a tent and as I have said before " I might be old, I might be fat, But I aren't STUPID " Commander

There will be no public parking in the exhibition field in 2016, all civilian vehicles will have to park in the field on the other side of the bridge and all exhibitors can park there civilian cars and vans further down the track out of sight so there is no hiding your vehicle behind your tent " this was another gripe " also we will be having escorted tours home to their tents for the old and infirm and incapable I will let you figure which you fall into Commander

If you are a good boy and bring some .303 blank rounds you can have the 2" blank firing British mortar to play with again Commander

We called in today (Saturday) and it was very well supported with vehicles and the public coming through the gate I heard someone saying that over 500 people had come through today hope the weather is as good Sunday as today as been loaded up a few blank shells for the 76mm Howitzer so hopefully we should be popping a few off Commander

Sorry my fault about the dates . I will have to save up and buy a current calendar instead of using the free one I got 4 years ago Commander

I'm going with the Dodge WC57 towing a 76m Howitzer with the rest of the crew of the NSMVT Commander

If it is mint unrestored I would say you would be looking at more like £15,000 or more these were only made 1950 to 1952 a good running one would be in the region of £8,000 to £10,000 Commander

Thanks Ron for clearing that confusion up Chris

I picked up this Royal Enfield and have had a couple of guys have a look at it but some say it is the 350cc and some say it is a 250cc anybody on here clued up on Royal Enfields Commander

The war time recommendations are for cross ply tyres with thicker side walls I was told so personally I run mine at 38 PSI Commander

Yes I am, and if your really lucky I will give you a personal demonstration of it in live firing mode lol Commander
