  1. They had two there, I was told that one of them was an Original & the other the replica :undecided:
  2. I've been reliably informed that Bovington WW1 tank is one of two that is currently on a BBC Film set in Essex.. The other is a replica, Just seen one of them driving across the fields but from the distance I was at I couldn't tell which one it was.. Will try & get some photos tomorrow.. I only got sight of one of the 2 Tanks on set there & I could be wrong about it being the Bovy Tank but there was a Tank Museum sign written vehicle there.. The Filming is for 3 episode WW1 drama based on true stories from a British Soldiers diary for BBC Factuals. When I was contacted for help finding people for this I was told The first episode they are filming is set during 1918 Battle of Amiens but they are shooting it out of sequence so not sure what episode they are filming at the moment.. very big production though.. A bit more about BBC's WW1 programming here http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/world-war-one-centenary.html

  8. Has any one thought of asking Rex if he has a vehicle in his yard that may be suitable for a recovery exercise that he might be able to bring to the show?

  10. Continuous Insurance has been around for a while now http://www.mib.org.uk/Motor+Insurance+Database/en/Continuous+Insurance+Enforcement/default.htm
  11. No offense taken mate.. No Blanks for the BAT's but there was a BAT Back Blast Simulator for demonstrating the Back Blast of the Weapon.. Got the manual for constructing it :cool2:
  12. Maybe Cosrec will volunteer his pride and joy for the exercise :goodidea:
  13. Never said it was a blank round.. was just making an observation that from the of photos I've seen of all types of BAT's firing the Back Blast is a lot bigger than that shown in the film.. it may of just been film speed or something that made it look that way.. I certainly get a more impressive bang when I fire my MOBAT..
  14. The 'Draft Clauses and Explanatory Notes' for the 2014 Finance Bill, which included the revisions to the vehicle tax system stated the reasons for making vehicle tax non transferable: “It will no longer be possible to transfer the benefit of a vehicle licence when there is a change of registered keeper. As a consequence of this, where there is a new registered keeper he/she will be obliged to take out a new vehicle licence when the vehicle to which the vehicle licence relates is transferred to him/her. The reason for now preventing vehicle licences being transferred from registered keeper to registered keeper is to avoid a new registered keeper unknowingly keeping an unlicensed vehicle. For example, in the absence of a paper licence a vehicle may be purchased supposedly with the benefit of a vehicle licence. The new keeper would believe that the vehicle was licensed, but the former keeper could apply for a refund of VED without the knowledge of the new keeper resulting on the new keeper having an unlicensed vehicle.”
  15. As far as I know it has nothing to do with 25pdr? think someone is confusing it with the No 22 Telescope http://thegunner.net/khxc/gbu0-prodshow/No22C-Scope_and_web_strap.html
  16. Military Connectors are available from RS if you have the cash.. http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=military+connector&sra=oss&r=t#

  18. Nope, different.. Mine also has a mounting plate fixed to it.. will try & get a photo tomorrow
  19. Just looked on Xmod http://www.thexmod.com/search.asp?search=computer&t=1 & can't see any power leads relating to the LX1 SSP? not sure what that means?
  20. Are you sure you have ordered the correct lead?? last person I know who ordered one from Xmod for an LX1 got the wrong lead.. it's not a standard size socket.. Others have just swapped the socket on the LX1 for a standard Clansman socket & used a Clansman plug & lead.. I have a LX1 & a Ptarmigan printer for sale if anyone interested
  21. As far as I understand It is illegal to knowingly disable a safety device such as ABS Brakes & probably invalidates your Insurance too.. Can't see any situation where you would need to disable the ABS Brakes?
