Paul there is camping on the field next to the station though you will have to walk about 100 yards

to the bar but I am sure you can manage that at least one way

Commander

If anyone want's to come along the day before and camp up Saturday night and join us in the railway bar

that will be ok and of course there will be no charge except for what drink in the bar

that if you want to come along and sell your surplus kit, gear, spares etc.. it is completely Free to set up and sell.

Also if you just want to come along for a browse and see if you can find any bargains it is Free there is no entry charge.

Finally to show all are welcome to come along the Dallas 3 are very welcome.

Hello and happy xmas to you all.

 

I am off to view a jeep in devon (I am near Ipswich) either monday or Friday, and as a near jeep novice wondered if anyone in devon (or in suffolk/ essex if you wanna come along for a day out) is available to view it with me and give an unbiased appraisal? ??

 

 

Cheers

 

Karl

Hi Karl, aren't you a bit young to be buying a jeep ( age 7 ) or do you have a nice mummy and daddy buying it for you

Commander

A quick update of what is happening, we currently are looking into doing a battle scenario any help appreciated

and also we are making enquiries about using the field opposite as a landing strip for light aircraft one of our

members want's to land his WW2 spotter plane and join in the fun rather than just do fly pasts, we also making

enquiries about getting some traders interested in coming along there, Foxfield railway have a working locomotive

that went over to Normandy after DDAY in WW2 and was landed on the coast which should be on display for further

updates watch this space

Commander

That could work for me - it hasn't any wheels either. This could be a result!!!!

Jack ,

you silly billy obviously it does not have any wheels

it is a hover jeep

Commander

When I could not get Champion plugs for my Dodge I tried NGK and to be honest I was not impressed

with plugs breaking down misfires etcc when mentioning this to a local motor factor rep who called in

at the garage he suggested that I change them and try some Bosh plugs they stocked since then I have

covered over 3,000 miles without a plug change or misfire and I am well impressed
