  1. The Cummins engine is a field conversion not std. does it have the 6 or 4 cylinder engine. Do you know if it has a turbo or not. What gearbox does it have.
  2. Today lance one of our volunteers helped me to take down one of the camp bastion tents ready for shipping to Guildford. Thanks lance. i have been donated ex army rapier launcher and missiles and am hoping these will be part of the BAOR display…which will be in the camp bastion tent with the Afghanistan war when Russia tried to beat the TALIBAN.
  3. Ok after years of fighting the planning departments I have decided to open the museum on my business park. so we are opening on the 4th May. The amount of work and space needed is vast. We will do our best to display everything we have but it will take time. We have about 6000 sq feet of units and two camp bastion tents and a few covered areas. We will have a coffee shop serving basic food and tea and coffee plus a seating area. We will have a rudimentary shop selling stuff including some outdoor wear. It’s very exciting for us but it will take us at least a year to get fully operational. And anyone who knows me it will never stay the same from week to week so will always be changing. It will never be right. Any advise given is always welcome. Shut down however will not be listened too. And if we are voted the worst museum in the uk I will Cry. But if we are we will endeavour to improve. I will also be restarting the lectures again and am looking for interesting speakers. The first talk will be a short review of the Cuban crises. Date to be confirmed we also have details on the Gary powers incident and possibly a talk about f4 phantom and interception of a tu 95 bear stories etc. anyway it is happening you will have to book online for now. You can’t just turn up at the moment. Please watch this space for booking details. We are looking for volunteers of all kinds if anyone lives near Guildford get in touch. All helpers welcome. No matter your skills. Shop assistants coffee shop cakes door duties vehicle cleaning repairs the list goes on forever. If you can give us any time it is brilliant.
  4. As always my dates are screwed but was thinking of coming down on the bank holiday monday. Just for the day. Likely bring the kraz. Could I get in…can’t do the whole weekend.
  5. I can’t move it now. She has blown something hydraulic. Not an easy fix.
  6. good point John, its how silly the world has become...the regulations have become onerous heavy handed and all encompassing.
  7. Hi Paulob1, here is Marie Anne Phillips from the Land Trust number 07795496086.

     

    Regards Chris

  8. Ok let me know if I ca drop it the day before. Who do I need to contact.
  9. oh john interesting cause leydene is the one that I think can do it...just awaiting a reply...
  10. ooh I think I have now managed to find someone...but will try both these other ideas as eveytime I think i am close bang dead end...getting the rubbers to make it fit also seems to be a problem but I am going through Plant cab suppliers at the moment as the best hope...
  11. I have foden GS with a broken windscreen. I can find no one who is able to cut a new piece of flat glass..i have been trying for months...everyone says they cant cut a piece that big and its only half a windscreen
  12. Sorry I am only up the road but sadly very busy with the convoy on the 24th and unlikely to be able to help. I have an FH77 which is the 155mm Bofors gun...is there any possibility of dropping it off the day before and collecting it the day after then it might work..but cannot guarantee...
  13. Anyone got any ferret hub components. After a set of internals. One sungear would work for now but if I can get the full hub it would be marvellous
