Having restored a selection of military vehicles over the past 30 years . Their are two ways to go . Conservation or compete rebuild .We have the Albion the IWM DUXFORD .Witch has only had a coat of paint to take to Normandy back in 1979 . Apart from that it is as it left the army . But others like the 2 gtb & international all had a very hard life after WW11 all required total strip down . All have been striped down to bear bones then shot blasted then rebuilt .Finding all the problems on the way .They all looked shiny when they left the workshop . But after a visit to War& peace show with mud & dust the look ok . Then back at workshop they get a wash & a WD 40 spray & wipe (WOT 1 CRASH TENDER . WOT 3 TRACTOR. GTB . GTB BOMB SERVICE . BOMB TRAILER . INTERNATIONL M-2-4 . FORD GPW . BEDFORD QL REFULER . ) All striped an rebuilt ( ALBION CX 22 . DODGE WC 57 ) As came out of service T CORBIN

As one of the old boys .I took the ALBION to 35th NORMANDY event .The first time I had been out of the country .Best event I have ever been to .Try driving the ALBION the wrong side of the road ????. The ALBION is 5 years younger than me (WORK IT OUT ).Still go to the ESSEX MVT meetings . All the old boys help the younger members with any problems & restorations .I think that's why our club goes on growing (AND STILL NO GREY HAIR ) T CORBIN

Anyone out their that was at the race track .When the three trucks from DUXFORD recovered the BROCKWAY It was the first time we had taken the ALBION out of the country . Wot a experience driving that size truck on the wrong side of the road & meeting members of the MVT & IMPS for the first time. It went back to NORMANDY in1983 & most of the uk shows . Not used much now as it is slow it becomes dangers to other road users ( Never been in a traffic jam with it its behind you ) T CORBIN

When we had the inspector from the DLVA come to look at the GTB bomb & M5 trailer .I ask can I carry bombs on the trailer.The answer was no . But he said he would go back to the office and look at the regulations . He rang me back two weeks latter .And said .If you use dummy bombs they must be fixed to the trailer (bolted or welded ) Also equipment that is listed in the TM can also be cared (it all then becomes a display truck & trailer ) T CORBIN

This is back of the mw I sold last month .It has the origin light + trailer socket +switch I think in the right place?
