woa2

All

I am being dragged off to St. Ives in Cornwall on June 15th for a weeks holiday with my youngest Daughter and family. Can anyone suggest any Military vehicle events or museums in the area that I could go to, please?

Many thanks.

Robert Davey

I think these are for a Morris. The label in the advert has MM for Morris Motors.

I have an old 900x13 Trac grip tyre you can have for a pattern. It's not usable on a vehicle, but OK for a pattern. If you want it, please let me know.

Way,way too cheap in my opinion.

I've had these trousers for years and nobody was interested. I just wanted to get rid of them and do someone a favour, hence the price.

HEY woa2 I’d love to buy the trousers if they are still available? 

I've had one enquiry already. I'll let you know.

I have a grey pair of trousers like the ones above. label says 22C/1156 and they are size 4. Also a number 23185 on the label. Anyone want them for £20 plus carriage at cost or collection from Reading?

What model gearbox is it, please? 3 speed or 4 speed?

When I was at the REME Museum, I did find a wartime EMER that stated the engine could be painted the same colour as the vehicle if REME overhauled the engine and vehicle.

Hello

Are you the chap I spoke to at Weymouth Veterans Parade this year? If so, I would like to confirm I need 3 900x16 Trak Grip tyres.

Many thanks.

Thank you all for the help in identifying the object. As I do not want the item, if anyone wants it, please PM me and I will send it to you. I would be grateful if you could forward a donation to this Forum (suggest £20).

I have been given this item by a neighbour but I have no idea what it is. It has a NATO part number 6220-12-151-4418 and is made by Hella. It is also made of Rubber. Can anyone tell me what it is and what vehicle it might fit, please? Many thanks.

Is that sand paint or Dust? Rome was liberated in June 1944, a dry time of year.

Try the REME Museum. They do have some of these stores books as I saw some while I was there, but I can't remember a bridging one. 

I strongly suggest you request a visit and search yourself and not just ask for help.

Hi Robert,  I do have a parts book and should have the illustration in that or the TM.   can you let me have an e mail and I will try to scan this later if its there.   I am however, intrigued why the museum specifically wants pictures of a T16 folding saw!

email is robert.davey6@btinternet.com

Reason they want the info is to add details to their records of a saw they have in their collection.

Many thanks

Still looking for the information. Anyone here have an illustrated tool list for a T16 carrier?

FREE if collected from Reading.

Handley Page crew ladder in 'average' condition. Free if collected from Reading, Berks. PM me if interested.

Still available if anyone is interested.

What is the maximum size wheel/tyre that it will easily fit ? When is the digout btw ?

Regards

Iain

 

The clamp will take a tyre up to 22 inches in diameter (I measured it top to bottom), so will take a normal 13 inch car wheel comfortably.

The next Dallas Digout is tomorrow, Sunday 8th July.

Wheel Clamp for sale.  Bought it for my car trailer but now surplus to requirements. Useful to secure your MV or trailer/caravan at shows. Has 2 keys and complete. £25. Collect from Reading, Berks or I can meet at Dallas Digout.

There is also mention of Steam Tractors used in the 1899/1902, South African Boer ar as prime movers for supplies, were these Fowler Engines?

There is someone on this forum (I won't mention his name) who owns an ex Boer war 1899 Fowler, he is a regular poster on here and I know that he has photos of the Fowler in use in South Africa, maybe he will see this thread and post the photos.

I have found records of Fowler supplying steam engines 1890/1900 to the War Office.

I only have access to the record books I am processing, but if you have an engine number, write in to MERL (Museum of English Rural Life) in Reading and they can search the drawings. I know they have some drawings but I have not seen any.

I will get you contact details for MERL as soon as I can, but might be a few days.

I have been Volunteering at MERL in Reading, processing the records for Fowler Traction Engines. One detail that cropped up today was a Traction Engine supplied to the Ministry of Munitions during WW1. It was requested 21st Aug 1916 and issued 9th March 1918. What was interesting was the colour scheme - Black, picked out in Amber and lined in Red and Yellow. It had WD painted on the tank back and each motion cover. I have noticed other Fowler traction engines supplied to the Army and they are All painted Black, mostly with Red lining. Not one was painted Khaki. 

I would like to contact Nigel Watson of Carrier fame. Just need some help from him about a question I have been asked. Does anyone know an Email address or is he a member here?

Many thanks.

Does anyone here have an illustrated Tool List for an American made T16 carrier? I volunteer at the Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) and they need details of the folding saw that went in the tool kit, and they asked me for help.  Ideally a scanned copy of the tool list would be ideal. If you can help, please contact me.

Many thanks.
