Never seen one actually marked as 'Chaplain' before.

The logistics involved in the build of something this size and this complicated must be huge. Imagine how many miles of electrical cabling she must have too!

This is just the type of MV project that we would like to start from. Our interest is in saving and preserving. Like I said, I was first told about this Guy many years back and also tried to find out its availabilty but with no success. I would love to preserve it.

There seem to be plenty on ebay at the moment, I was surprised by the amount when I looked earlier today.

I know its rough and as you say not for the feint hearted but what a project that could be. Quite seriously, would they be open to someone saving her? Kevin.

Well said.

Another gone from that generation, it was very nice that even with restrictions she was still involved with the VE Day celebrations.

Thats a shame, putting the money towards new projects?

Have you listed it on ebay?

I think I have a photo of this one in the scrapyard. I asked about its availability at the time and never heard anything back. Is it available now do you know? Would you pm me with any details if you know? Kevin.

I also see an Instruction book for a WOT1 on Ebay, Item number 353105280796.

Not good news indeed.

I showed the photo to my son, the reaction was WOW!!

Well I envy you driving the Humber!

I have visited the film company at Eton Wick, a lot of very interesting vehicles there.

I have some photos of my Grandfather in North Africa around the same sort of time, I will scan them too. Very similar to these really, general snaps but a few with fleeting glimpses of trucks etc.

Well, I would be mighty pleased if I could do that sort of work and get that finish.
