  1. Evening all in HMVF, humber pig convoy light has a small red apeture to the rear and a clear lens to the front pointing downwards , what did it illuminate , a white painted square on the body ? It points in the wrong ditection to illuminate the diff housing.

     

    Anyone put any light on the subject :laugh:

  4. From my meeting at SMVG swap meet at Bridge Of Earn , Picture from one of the BAOR vets , Location Germany , in a big puddle

     

    Picture taken in 1963 the chap was a REME mechanic and had a winch version for recovery , they parked up overnight and there was a huge rain overnight leading to a flooded parking area

  6. today was the first real outing of the pig , to the scottish military vehicle group swap meet in brdge of earn , just outside perth , 50 mile round trip ,no mishaps , no running problems , and a huge grin from ear to ear

     

     

    met a few NI veterans tat ouldnt belive there luck at getting another sit in a pig after 30 + years , and another boar REME mechanic that used winch version in germany , so the perfect person to ask about wheel nut and rim nut colours , stright out said that red for the split rims and green for the rest of the wheel , the only time he recalled ever seeing a pig with white painted wheel nuts was on a ration wagon with the inside painted white as well ,

    great to hear it straight from the horses mouth , brought back a few memories for the old chap ,

     

    great day out , only use about half a tank of fuel , early nightwith a huge grin fixed on my face .
