Bob Grundy

I have a friend who has a Bedford QLR, the one with the radio body. He has nothing in the back so would like to fit it out with whatever should be in there. I don't know, so can anyone help ?

I now don't have any de-ac firearms but I do think that the new laws will be unenforceable.

Here is a photo of a very good 434 Maintenance Carrier, it is for sale. Please PM if it is of interest at £17,500.

Today I received this months edition of Classic Military Vehicle which wasn't too bad. However a Mark Nash states in his article on the Saracen that they cost £350K each. I find this a little on the high side. Where does this figure come from for a vehicle manufactured in the 1950's ? I read once that a Stalwart cost £32K in c.1962.

Before you start including the Germans in shows in the UK,  just remember many of us non snowflakes who lived during the war are still above ground.

We still have our memories and opinions of that time, so just wait till we are gone before you dress up as Jerry's.

I for one will never forgive the enemy for trying to blast me out of my cot.

I am not allowed free speech these days, so I can not address my feelings properly on this subject.

If it helps you understand my position, I stopped going to shows who invited the opposition years ago.

Well said......

The video of the Nash starting was a palava. When I had one it would start on the second pull of the handle. A fit young gentleman on the handle and me on the drivers seat. First prime three cylinders, leave No4 open for less compression, crank the handle, engine fires and runs on three, close cock on head and that's it.

No, don't have a parts book. Are the tools shown in there? 

I don't know. I will try and find today and have a look. Saw it about 6 months ago so should not be far away as I had it for sale but no takers. Its a big book for 20 quid.....

Does anyone have an illustration (preferably with part numbers) for the specialist workshop tools for the Bedford MK and MJ. All costs happily met.

Thanks

Mike.

Have you got a parts book ?

It is on it's way to a French museum so it would seem. As it was a target for training for Dunkirk (not D-Day) it is being incorporated into a display of that period.

 

 

The A22 Churchill was not even in service in 1940. The country did not train for the Dunkirk evacuation....

What dreadful music at the start of the video. My opinion is that it should have remained where it was. What museum has it gone to ? It is very unlikely that this Churchill will be restored to static never mind running condition. Been there with one much better than this riddled corps.....

I have to admit I was one of the people that hated Folkstone, I went to the first one and that was it for me and since it moved back to Beltring I haven't been back.

As for CMV I received mine yesterday, read it and I am now seriously considering cancelling subscription. I think the publishers should read fly past, packed with really interesting articles every month and then you read cmv full of adverts and  badly written, poorly researched articles.

CMV - 82 pages £4.70

Flypast 130 pages £4.80

Flypast is by far the better of the two magazines.

As above about generalisations... Surely Mr Fletcher isn't surly? I found him quite pleasant

So I left an 'e' out. Perhaps I should resign as I must be an ignorant oaf...

Surly Mr Fletcher's articles are not poorly researched, as for the rest excluding Tim Gosling of course I agree..... Just purchased Flyfast and ready to enjoy.

Thank you for that illuminating information....

I have the following for sale; Signal Generator CT378A, Tripletts (USA) Signal Generator Model 1632, Universal Avometer and US Army Signal Corps Frequency Meter TS-175/U. Apart from the Avometer I no nothing of this equipment apart from the price of £125 for the lot.

I thought this forum was 'none political'....

After that diatribe I think not !  I totally disagree with these comments and as for duel nationality, my opinion that it is impossible even if the paperwork says it is.

Do we have Forum moderators ?

I am no expert on US military kit but have this Signal Generator for sale at £50 to Forum chums....

I have seen this chap before doing a similar thing. He does not know a lot which is confirmed by the lame commentary.

Where in south Liverpool ?

Oh my god Elliot what are you getting into ! Have you learnt nothing from your Dad......

His name is Veric.......

I put an Abbot on a public weigh bridge in the last century and it was 15.2 tonnes not 16.5 tonnes.
