hope youve got a big show field as it seems the falklands display is gathering speed:D

i presume you have such a beast:D

yep we have a facebook page with our piccys on etc and a normal web page which is work in progress dont know how to do a linky thing for face book one, but type in "combined operation" and it pops up, what we have decided to do for the shows we attend is that if some one like yourself wanted to turn up and display for one show then we just slot you into the display. that way every one benifits. heres the web page link http://combinedoperations.proboards.com/

hello nick, as ex forces would you be interested a British armed forces living history group? as we are looking for a few good men

lol it had been a long day when i wrote this, your lucky i got any letters right:D well its all a start of things possably coming together, ive messaged the forces 80 lads to get there views on it, it would be a shame not to do something for the 30th.

ok its a start, we will keep in touch and we will see u at your show next yr for a chat

ok cheers for that, we will pencil this one in. i shall be incontact with forces 80 to see if they want to do a combined large display and poss see if any of your lads have a scorpian or scimeter that they would like to place on the display??

i know you are still planning for next yrs show, but 2012 being the 30th anniv of the falkands and your groups wagons having the connection have you thought about making this a "falkands show" im sure the other british army living history group "forces 80" and our selves would be able to put on some kind of center piece display between us. we intend to use our display at your event next yr as bit of a dry run for our falklands display. i know its still 2yrs ish away but i know these things take time to plan, cheers darren

as its the 30th anniv in 2012 has any one heard of any events on the show circuit that will be doing anything for this? our group "combined operations British armed forces living history" are aiming to display the falkands as our theme for that yr

am looking forward to it already, if you guys also want any help or bodys for areana displays please feel free to ask as we are happy to help where poss

the 81mm needs a bit of a re vamp over the winter.when i made it, it was a rush job over a few weekends to make it. we have a charlie g on the go at the moment, but i have all winter to finish it:D. we shall be up your neck of the woods for some shows next yr, the cvrt's guys show and the cold war fest in doncaster

we at combined operations living history had a great day here, only a small event but a very friendly crowd with loads of interest from the public, well done , defo a show again for next yr. heres a few of our piccys

as combined operations living history we attended this event , and vas very impressed ,only a small venue but made to feel very very welcome and really enjoyed it, will post up piccys when the thread is started in the log book section, well done lads:D

81mm is home made, not finished yet, i got bored one weekend and built one:-D

sounds good, we will have alot more kit by then as well

brilliant, cheers for that, if there is any thing our group can do to help just let us know

yep we will most defo be at the show next year and we wouldbe more than happy to be used as set dressing for anybodys wagon if they want some period piccys

well it would be rude not to make some room for on or two wagons on our display:D

combined operations british army living history 1980- have pencilled your show in for next yr, looks to be a good one

i give up, got some to work then my brian stooped working, plann b going to buy a new lead and plug

an for todays trick i am going torewire the nato plug on the trailer that got ripped of:D

yeh already done

well we appear to have got away with it re wired it today and no problems. i will describe the scene, the big thick wire comesfrom the genny/alt runs into a box behind the drivers seat bulkhead, this ones has all the very expensive looking bits in ( this one was fine.) another very thick wire goesfrom this box acrossthe rear bulkhead and intoanother box beghind the pass seat bulkhead this wire was fine. the problem wire was the one that goes from the pass side box, out under the rover and across the front bulkhead in the engine bay, this one shorted out on the box and where it went through the floor. the bit in the engine bay melted a few wires in the process, however we were able to recreate the missing wires, except the 2 ampmeter gauges and every thing runs ok. weleft it running under observation for a good hour with no ill effects, tommrrow is a day of super insulating every dammn power cable. dodged a bullet there me thinks
