Cheers, also uploaded it to http://www.freewebs.com/morris-recce and had the same problem, i'll give it another go after college tomorrow, at the moment i'm knackered and off to watch a dvd!

Well got a website up, http://www.morris-recce.150m.com unfortunately the pictures aren't showing up though, even though i've uploaded them, i'll try and get it sorted soon[/url]

I heard that the non-running Morris LRC that used to be owned by Alex Scott is now at the East of England tank museum in unrestored condition - can anyone confirm this? Contacted the museum as well. Also, does the museum have many WW2 vehicles? From photos i've seen it looks like they have a large museum, but the website only show a few post-war vehicles (look very nice though)

Ahh good ole' Borat Good to see the Kazahkstans haven't totally gotten rid of you yet.

Was interested to know what the red diamond marking on this Morris LRC was And also what this is Cheers for any help, Rob

Does anyone know anywhere on the internet that shows markings used by the British Army in WW2, and what regiment/division etc they belonged to? Cheers, Rob

Try http://www.tanksforsale.co.uk/ they have a lot of eastern europe stuff, best bit is to go for a T55 if your after a tank similar to the ones used.

Welcome to the forum, lovely series one!

A guy locally that owns an ex-RAF (I think) very nice Series 1 is in bronze green

Hmm maybe I could sue and buy the DUKW that started it all! Hehe

Crikey I think i've got a split personality, the other half being a much older than me WW2 re-enactor! http://www.wwiireenacting.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15760

Apparently re-enactors don't like the SOF stuff, British stuff especially is supposed to be wrong material and colour

http://www.warwheels.net is one of my favourites - all sorts of wheeled armour etc http://www.armourinfocus.co.uk is a good site as well

You can get a real good Colt .45 BB gun for about £30, i've got one in black somewhere, looks the part and it's great fun!

Yeah, my Grandad used to wear his leather jerkin until it literally fell to bits!

The website for the museum is http://www.tankmuseum.co.uk if you click on the 'tours' bit, you can see the LVT Buffalo and Weasel on one of the panoramas.

Yeah it's coming out of the rear of the LVT Buffalo, should be going there this week so i'll get a few pics of it if your interested.

Might have something to do with the guy in the control tower I was talking to - him and his son own a WW2 Fairchild Argus in US Army colours, maybe he bought it as well, only thing I can think of. Would be nice to have a DUKW chugging around on Rutland Water!

It was for the RNLI, always wanted to sponsor them and saw on the website there was a 'Leap for the Lifeboats 2006' appeal, so thought 'ah why not', despite the fact i'm scared of 1) heights and 2) falling! Last night the skydive buildings at the airfield were burnt down, seems a bit dodgy as the arsonists only destroyed the skyline company buildings and moved the gas cylinders away from the building first. It was excellent, was scared as hell when going up in the plane, then when the door was opened and watched the two guys going before me jump right out of the plane scared me sh**less! Falling was the worst bit, then it was absolutely excellent, when the parachute was pulled my hearing went funny but still was really good, even the descent with the parachute was fun circling around. Should get the DVD on about Thursday as the camera has to be taken home by someone to be edited and put onto disc because the computers were destroyed. Well worth it though, been contacted by the helmsman at Trearddur Bay lifeboat station in Wales if i was interested in giving the sponsor money to their appeal for a new lifeboat, couldn't do it for this one but really tempted to do another one later in the year for em. If anyone reading this has ever wanted to do a skydive, go for it, if you do it for a charity you can do it for free as long as you get the sponsors.

There would have been the M47, M48 and M60, might have been some M46's but not sure. See here for info about em http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patton_tank

Just rang up and apparently the British Steel hall is closed at the moment, what's in there? Hope that isn't the big hall with mostly WW2 stuff in it. Ringing back on Monday to speak to the curator to find out if I can get inside the Morris Light Recce Car.

Was at Sibson airfield today to do a sponsored skydive (man that awesome!), and saw a DUKW in the field near the car park, didn't get too close in case it might be private property but got a photo, anyone know much about it? Sibson is in Cambridgeshire by the way, near to Peterborough and RAF Wittering. [/img]

Just been on BBC1 news as well

Sweet, so it's all open? I'll have to make sure I still have two memory cards for my camera, will probably book an appointment to have a look at the archives and see if any of the guides will let me sit in the Morris Light Recce Car. Is there much else to do in the area? Might as well do as much as I can while i'm there.

Might be able to go during the next week or so (fingers crossed), it's a four hour drive though so hopefully be worth it. Has anyone been recently to comment on which bits are temporarily closed? Hope not too much of it is, might be my only chance to go for at least a year!
