That's awesome, just what I need for Exercise.:idea:

Here's some getting backloaded recently, not sure to were but some destination in UK.

Me too but got my heart set on a Land Rover when I get my backside into gear.:-D

We used them for towing the Lt Gun around Salisbury Plain (or the Arty did) had one for the ftr section, no real dramas at all to be honest. The blokes didn't have any problems with them one way or the other. I think it's bad rep stems from very early on in it's service life and all faults were rectified or they would never have been allowed on the road.

Young drivers eh?

Transfer box into neutral IIRC:coffee:

One of my work vehicles.

They had their own drawbars (A frame) which were fun to connect together especially trying to get the pins in the towing eyes. You have to raise the forks high enough to allow the fitting of the sleeves to the rams so the fork carriage clears the towing eyes. Ensure the articulation bar is disconnected in the middle to allow articulation of the JCB when cornering. Turn the steer valve to the tow position (red handle behind the cab which allows the JCB to articulate when the engine is off, air operated). Engage 2 wheel drive. The drive/neutral lever is in the neutral position. They come with a short lead on the CES with Nato sockets on each end to connect between the towing vehicle and JCB to allow lights to work A frame towing only really allows for forward towing, yes you can reverse a short distance but as soon as you turn the wheels it doesn't work so well. Hope this helps.

I've seen the one at Deutsche Panzer Museum. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sdkfz302elektr.jpg It's a fantastic museum by the way, well worth a visit if your in the area.

It would make a super location for a Cold War museum.

Looks like new, I want one.

Try any of these. http://www.themedalmountingshop.com/ http://www.messdress.com/ishop/820/shopscr763.html http://www.cjmedals.co.uk/services/medal_mounting.html Or do a Google search there hundreds of companies that specialise in medal mounting.

As I said earlier, not something I would recommend,:nono: and it got me out of a spot of bother, no problem with his Golf after the slave start either.:cool2:

I need a slave start in my Foden wrecker once and had no other military vehicles around, a bloke stopped in his Golf and I took the opportunity to throw my slave lead onto his battery, 12v to 24v nearly sucked the life out of his battery but started my wagon, no dramas with his vehicle after that. Edited to add this is not something I would recommend but it got me out of a spot of bother.

Just aswell we've got a new wrecker to play with, it wont be long before the kids are rolling them to.:cool2:

A few more. http:// http:// http:// http:// http://

I know of one AS90 that had a serious fire, it was completely burnt out inside, it went through a full respray in Osnabruck a few years ago (we had to tow it through the washdown and through the respray facility) and it was said it was to be used as a gate guard but not sure were, maybe it ended up in the museum.

Was it an AK or similar? I heard countless rumours of weapons being smuggled back hidden under A veh packs etc. Or that could be a myth.

Another one you don't see everyday. Prop change on a C130 Hercules. http://

Yep certainly is BATUS Suffield.

They aren't my Fodens by the way, honest:rofl:

This Foden has been stripped for spares and now used for recovery training demo's in Afghan.
