  1. Most likely not got the Monopod with His Carl Gustav? Also, if his .50" is to be mounted on a vehicle. he may well not need a Tripod?
  2. Yes that's the one. I SHOULD have said 'Tubular'. Not Cone shaped!
  3. Hi Folks! Not sure if this is the correct section to post this. But if not, admin please move to where it should be! 😉 I have just acquired a BSA folding Paratroopers folding bicycle. & There are, as is usually encountered on some of these. Some 'Standard' Bike pedals fitted. which is obviously not as they originally left the factory! Could anyone assist Me please? With some close-up photos, of the sliding spindle pedals shafts. & Supply dimensions of length, end to end. & The diameter of the Washer that is rivetted on each end. I will have to make them, unless anyone has one or a Pair, that they would be willing to part with? Thank you in advance for any Help / Assistance proffered! 👍 Regards to all Fellow Members on here! Mike.
  4. Rheiner was part of the Fixtures & Fittings In Corunna! He was an EXTREMELY Loquacious character. The RSM Then ( John Bond ) Detested him! 😂
  5. My Apologies! yes it was 3 Armd Div & not 26 Armrd. It was a long time ago! 😄 2 Armd Engrs Joined 26 Engr Regt & it LATER was renamed 3 Armoured Div Engr Regt. I was Present for the Disbandment & Amalgamation Parade whilst On Attachment to 26 at Corona Brks. The Barber was a Herr Rhiner & He fought in the Wehrmacht During the War. I Read His Diary & Handled his Award decorations that he showed Me on one occasion. He wouldn't sell them though! One of His duties also, was He was responsible for the washdown Point in the Camp. He always talked about the RSM John Bond. As If They were best Mates. I did some Work for the RSM & I can assure you. John Bond couldn't STAND Rhiner! 🤣
  6. I was Attached to 26 Engineer Regt where there was 5, 25 & HQ Sqns at Iserlohn. The Barracks were Corona but still know by the wartime name of Seidlitz Kaserne. By the local taxi Drivers. I was there from 1975 to late 1977. At which time 2 Armoured engineer regiment was disbanded. & Joined 26 to Become 26 Armoured Engineer Regt. I was posted out a Few months Later.
  7. In any Case. Always treat as if it is Loaded. & Keep it pointing safely Downrange......😁
  8. The Virtual military Show Page on Facebook. You may have to scroll through a number of posts. but MANY Times the 'Show' is mentioned in VERY Derogatory Terms!....The 'Owner' has bought Hatred & Anger upon Himself. Through Greed & Arrogance! & There is virtually now, universally no support for that Once great show! I guess you reap what you sow?......
  9. The topic of The W&P Revival Show. HAS been an extremely & 'Keenly' debated subject on a Page on Facebook!.....The Rumor of W&PR being in bankruptcy not being seen on the site mentioned by Nick Johns. Was ALSO bought up on 'That' Page. It was also explained that it can take TIME for a submission for Bankruptcy Filing. To become Published publicly on a Companies House search. That is not Me stating this as fact. Just what was put out on the FB page. 👍
  10. The 'Wisper's' doing the Rounds at Military Odessey. Was that they Had filed for bankruptcy? I personally cannot confirm this though.
  11. What would you term 'cheap'. As Your Idea of 'Cheap, may Differ Hugely to someone else? And what Deac exactly are you seeking? Or are you just attempting to Acquire a Deact 'Cheaply'. To Sell it on for a Profit? I think you need to clarify exactly what your requirement's are. Or you may get no response?
  12. Interesting! which would mean. An approach by someone who wanted to establish a show with the original values & flavour. Of the ORIGINAL W&P Offering. Would be in a strong position to negotiate with the site owners. Utilising The original recipe of SOMETHING coming into the coffers. rather than NOTHING. is a simple Bussiness Decision to make, surely?..... Just a thought!...;)
  13. The HQ in Herford was HQ 4 Div. 7 Sigs was a 3/4 mile up the road from there! The barrack blocks of 4 div are still standing But who is housed in them is now probably civilian's! Across from these Buildings there was a massive green sports field. Large enough for four sperate rugby / football pitches with space to spare. I lived on the top floor with my Parents in the late sixties. In one of the four blocks of flats that ran parallel with this green field. These were at that time married quarters for service Personell & Thier families. I THINK the name of the main road was Ullman Strasse? VERY happy memories of our time there! sadly 7 Signal regiments original camp was totally demolished & is now German civilian Housing 😔
  14. Kay, Why 7 Signal troop. Were you aware that there was a 7 signal Regiment based at Herford in Germany.
  15. The venue at Folkstone, STILL had another three years to run. On the five year contract Rex had put in place. When He sold the show to the , New Owners, It was the ,New Owners, that decided to move back to Beltring, as they had negotiated a deal with the Hop Farm. The racecourse venue at Folkstone was left alone for those three years. The last time I passed that venue. it was still untouched!.... We were informed that there were going to be houses built on the site of that particular venue. I dont know if this has even begun yet. But when I passed the venue approx a couple of years ago. nothing had been done at all. I dont know if this s still the case. But if so, there is an opportunity open to ,talk, to the present owners. and enquire if they would be open to using the site for shows again perhaps. Just a thought....
  16. There were always going to be bones of Contention with W&P. However, it went STRIDES ahead under Rex's Guiding Hand. Sadly, the 'Present Owner'!!! has all but Destroyed this once Magnificent show. & Lost the trust of Exhibitors & reenactors alike! I for one, would LOVE Rex to come back into the fold. & Start another show in the vein of the Original W&P! .... But, that is NOT going to happen!....😔
  17. In which case, you have the .30 cal ammo tray shelf. The 7.62 shelf as i have described previously. Is for the narrower cans. & has the detail differences i have pointed out. The Brits in the early life of ferrets. used US Made ammo cans. & later BRITISH made wider cans to accept the .30" ammo In BROWN paint. Also metal liners to shorten the length for rounds were inserted. To use these cans with 7.62mm Ammo were also utilised. Until the narrower dedicated narrow made cans came on stream into service.
  18. In which case, it will be Nothing to do with 'War & peace'. it will be a country craft fair show! IE: Traction & Stationary Engines & Arts & Crafts stalls. Thus confirming most Peoples suspicions. That the present 'Owner'. Is Money Orientated ONLY. & couldn't give a stuff for Military vehicles. & associated Living History. & Re-enacting Buffs!.....
  19. Jack, Concise. & absolutely knocked the Nail on the Head! Once trust is lost, particularly by 'This' owner of W&P. That is it!......
  20. Diplomatic, to avoid any litigation. I would submit?....
  21. Agent Disposed of by the MOD more like! 😄
  22. Can You Update something that is Dead?......
  23. Thier Silence speaks volumes!.............
