  1. There already is a team looking for UXB's - there's a company who I met in Belgium at a WW1 event who specialise in searching for undetonated explosives, hired in by Railways, building company's etc before they start working on a piece of land. Recently, they've been doing a lot of work in the South of England with unexploded V1 rockets

  3. I've seen photos of 2 or 3 photos at a WW1 event a few of my mates went to in June in Italy (wish I had gone), including a 15 ter or similar. Luckily, i'm going all over there in October, all expenses paid, not sure if it's the same place but I hope so

  4. Simplex 40hp petrol locomotive as used on War Department Light Railways - there were three degrees of protection, open ones (ie no armour whatsoever), protected (as seen) and armoured, which looked a bit like a tank. The protected and armoured ones earned the nickname 'Tin Turtle' for obvious reasons. This one's been regauged from standard gauge (that used on normal British railways) to 2 foot gauge as commonly used by the WDLR.
