Marmite!!

Cheers Lee from what I just found out I think I will only need 3 pieces of a clansman plus 2 headsets, is that right??

 

Yep & the harness cables.. To give you some idea of prices look here http://www.armyradio.com/arsc/customer/home.php?cat=83 but most of it can be picked up on ebay..

Ok thanks nice suggestion are these units 24v, and I assume if other people had the same unit they can listen in to your conversations.

 

What about a clansmen or something similar?? keeping in with the military theme

 

Go for Clansman.. fairly cheap, plenty of it about, easy to Install & you don't need to install any radios for the intercoms to work, if you want radios then you would have to go for your licence... I'll dig out a copy of the manual for you that shows what all the various boxes do.. I'll bring it to Dover with me..

The last one is only visible by logging in.

 

Log in then.. :-D

Great photo's!

 

Just out of interest, were the lost hand's down to genuine accident's, or due to some moron holding a powerfull banger to prove how hard they were?

 

Both, during our training we were shown much more graphic photos than these caused either by ignorance, stupidity or malfunction.. plus the video of the guy who nearly killed/injured the film crew..He pulled the pin out of a grenade with his teeth then stood there holding it while the spoon flew off.. it just so happens this video is now on Youtube.. enjoy :evil:

I'm in :-D

I would like to thank all the do-gooders on here that have warned us that these exploding thing's are dangerous, Cos the rest of us are obviously too bloody stupid to realise that

You're not health and safety/state the bleedin obvious officers are you? :police:

 

 

 

 

(for now)

 

Just like all the stupid b******ds who thought they knew it all & know have only serious injuries if they are lucky.. believe it or not there is people out there that need pointing out the obvious..

WARNING THE FOLLOWING LINKS ARE VERY GRAPHIC

how many people know the difference between a Quickmatch & a Saftey Fuse? the guy in the first link didn't, he was leaning over a 5" mortar when he lit the "Quickmatch" the long paper fuse that's instantaneous, the lifting charge lifts the mortar to 500' but this mortar went of in his face..

The others are what happen when you hold fireworks/pyros..

We prefer a slightly bigger bang, this is me firing the Bofors at a dedication, if look at the video you will see us looking to the rear of the Bofors after the first shot, this is because about 5pounds of metal just went flying through the air, that was the top & bottom breach covers we just blew off.. this was the first time we had fired this gun & it turns out that someone had tried before with a fair amount black powder which had dried in the breach, if you look at the still frame you will see what I mean considering the charge was only six inches from the muzzle.. wasn't a very good start to the minute silence with metal clanging across the roof..

Was asked to fire it again a couple of weeks ago for a minute silence, the radios weren't working so we had someone to give a hand signal which was when the vicar bowed his head to pray, well the vicar bowed his head, the signal was given & we fired.. it turned out he wasn't praying he had just bowed his head the read the next verse of the prayer.. scared the shift out of the poor old Vic as he wasn't expecting it then..

BTW that Bofors is off the Ark Royal... put on the Forts roof with a Chinook..

Happy New Year..

Surprised no ones noticed the studded leather wristband.....Rock on! :evil:

 

I thought he was auditioning for Richard's new Dover porn film... :-o

That'll be the photograhers breath picked up by the flash. when taking pics underground, usually in the dark i tend to hold my breath as it's ruined a few decent pics, not usually as common when you do a longer exposure. :roll:

 

Also something sinister about the 1st pic, when you zoom in, it looks like the girl on the left has no eyes!! :-o

 

May of been wet but it wasn't cold..

The socket end on that wheel brace is highly unlikely to actually fit those wheel nuts :-D

 

I told John it wasn't big enough but he wouldn't listen :whistle:

no no - in the (soon to be) hit porn film of 2007

 

petrol girl does REO gang, 15 men goes to Dover to seek "deep shelters" :dunno: any one called Ben coming on this trip :-D

 

No but we have a Neil (Down).. :-D

Oh..and the Saracen had just been moved, see wet patch on tyre, so could be exhaust smoke lingering......always a logical explanation ;-)

 

I nearly fell of my chair laughing then... that Stuart's (Saracentumps) Saracen we are talking about.. it would of moved if we had a crank handle :evil: sorry Stuart :-)

Lee,

 

Come on... :-D You can clearly see John has a smoke on the go, and with all the puffing trying to tighten those wheel nuts to the required torque of 280 lbs/ft with a small wheel brace, I'm not surprised there is a haze :whistle:

 

Richard

 

He's a big lad & only needs a little wheel brace..

Happy New Year everyone..

Do i spy a roll up ???

 

 

Yes but not lit.. don't even think Bob Marley chucked out that much smoke :-)

Ok.........some spirit orbs, you must of all picked these up :dunno: :dunno:

 

You can get good lens cloths on ebay Jack :-)

Ok how about this one of JT taken at Coalhose Fort one night.. & before you say it, no-one was smoking... as you can see the first one was perfect as was the last one..except the glowing eyes.. always thought there was something strange about my Son :evil:

there again if you zoom in to 400% it looks like a mask around the top of the image that's been cut & pasted in, not very good cropping ;-)

You mean the moth lit up by the flash :dunno:

:-D

 

not what i had in mind :dunno:

 

There was me thinking you were going to make Rob a filmstar :-D

...something just ain't right with our country - why can't I buy things like that :computerterror:

 

If we are ever down you way we'll bring some gear with us & play.. :evil:

or if she wants to be in a video HMVF go nuts in Dover :whistle:

 

Ther you go again talking about Rob :-o

nice ?? did you see her boat race :-o

 

Can we go in & ask her if she got us on video :-D

It's marked 1.4G by the looks of it..Don't forget you need to hold a certificate to use 1.4G pyros & fireworks legally in the UK.. Just so happens that JT (FV601) & myself hold such certificates..
