I have found 11 photos of the BV206 playing about in a pond. I cannot remember if I ended up with it or not. If anyone knows who it belonged to I can forward the other 10 photos. I know not who or where it was or a date but probably 20 years ago.

Sunday telegraph 30 July. An article by India Mc Taggart portrays our late Queen then a Princess climbing on a " Comet" tank at Sandhurst in October 1945. Viewing the said photograph clearly show her about to alight onto a CROMWELL. This is the state of modern journalism. Kate Williams get her  nose in as well, she who sometimes talks absolute tripe....

On a trip the Kirkcudbright experimental ranges in the late 1990's we discovered this thing. It was substantially made but note the flimsy wheels for such a vehicle. The first photo shows Roy Peet on the left and Neville Anderson on the right. Neville was the 2/ic at the Tank Museum and his father was General Anderson commander of 1st Army  In the second photo I can only identify David Herbert in the centre.

Any ideas what the item is ?

I am making enquiries for you, it might take awhile but stand by. 

Neil

Aviation Jersey have one, probably a new one in a wooded crate at £8K. If you are flush (in funds) speak to Paul and mention you are a friend of mine.

No Neil, all engines have long gone....

Still all over the site. Purchased some hair products for my wife. These products are now in front of me. The modern world, you can keep it.  Bombarded with trivial info from everywhere......

Why cannot theses ads be stopped by HMFV ?

Not best pleased with this latest development

Photo of re-enactors............brown boots !

Here we have Ferret prop shafts recently discovered. Any use to anyone ?

I have ben advised to mention that the DAF has a V5C  that I have many more photos of it.

1956 Artillery Tractor, Hercules engine, set of Continental tyres in rear, winch, starts very easily.

£5,000. I am losing thousands but it has to go, located near M6 junction 24

I was watching a recorded film on Talking Pictures TV, 'The Leather Boys' 1962  the other day and noticed this. The motorcyclist were returning from Edinburgh, but it could be anywhere.

The vehicle at right angles to the road is an experimental FV421 Load Carrier, so keep your eyes open you never know what you can see on an old movie.

Air Training Corps Basic Training 1958.  Stamped; 1047 (Wolverhampton) Squadron 17 Jun 1958. BTW I do know how to spell June.

No price just make a donation to HMVF funds.

I will post them.

Probably it would be a LMG, not a Bren

So, the final admission that there was never a real intention to put the show on, it was just a way of taking and then keeping other people's money. 

Taking and keeping other people's money is STEALING ! Stealing is to permanently deprive...

If you get really stuck I think I may have a NOS one in its wooden box.

Very interesting. photos of Abbot's showing there VRN's, who has got these now ?

I would not go there if they paid me 

Awful people......

In fact an Australian who writes books on military hardware, The interwar period 'is' an interesting subject.

Now why would a gentleman from the USA want this ? Interesting.....

I need some Universal Carrier suspension assemblies and wheels. Are there ay such items lying about in your workshop or yard ?

Thank you

Bob

That's the difference, Andy, your tale has been disproved with scientific evidence; GPR and Res survey of the whole site by Oxford Archaeology. Yet you continue to suggest you're being disregard and that my reply (and others) are linear and will not change - that's simply not true. I work within a scientific field and my theories continually change, that's the nature of science.

But, when your tale is subject to archaeological fieldwork that disproves the whole thread, where do we go? As you'll not accept any evidence, yet it is an apparent obsession based on oral testimonies and mild paranoia for the state.

You're suggesting ridiculous ideas, the Churchill MBT being manufactured out side of the UK for a start. And stating that on a military vehicle forum is really the worst stage to damage your credibility.

I think I would be better of debating this with my sheep.

 

The Churchill was not a 'MBT', it was Infantry Tank Mk4.
