    Another world, long gone....................

    Tony I have never heard the German front line to be known by those words in studying the subject for the last 50 years. Which was the mine crater, now a pond, near Thiepval that you were digging near? Bob

    Tony Can you explain what you mean by the Triple Alliance front line please ? Bob

    It might be a good idea to tell these lowly military vehicle owners what a Harry Tate is. Both the stage performer and the aircraft.....

    Thank you one and all for these comments. This vehicle never ran on this stuff as today I removed the diesel lift pump and discovered that the brass filter was clogged. There is, now was, a varnish like glazing over the mesh. Even though it was full of diesel not a drop came out of the mesh. A new one has been ordered from Mr Glenn. I was always under the impression that diesel did not deteriorate but perhaps the modern stuff does ?

    I have had to drop all the diesel out of a 434 (ex Witham). The colour is not red or the nice greeny blue you get at the pumps. It is a sort of brown ambre colour and a bit more oily than normal, what is it ? and more importantly is it safe to use?

    Mr R, so you found the two lumps that hold the towing spring. Remember I am only following orders................

    The right place ? I have been to the Menin Gate more times than I can remember, to go on a 'big occasion' is not my way of remembering/paying respects et al. It will be one big jamboree, lots of grandstanding, digital photographing, umpteen wreath laying going on and on.......... Plus an Olympic theme this year as well. Better a windy February evening when there is just a few people and no great fuss, then you can get into the soul of the event.

    Well said Nickmow, I agree 100%........

    Now that looks a good project.......... Please keep us up to date with it.

    A bit of a jazzy advert for items to kill people, I didn't like the awful music either...... It all seems a bit of a kids game, god help us.

    Now that is showing your age..............

    He just loves blasting gates, he does them for no fiscal reward as you well know........

    Chris I am working on a Charioteer that is being turned back into a Cromwell V1 Type F. The interior paint is silver but should this be white for the Cromwell ? I would like to get it correct, having it white would be better........... Bob

    I watched the trailer and I am glad I did't have to sit through the actual film, it was total rubbish...........

    Perhaps Achim, before spending cash on a Stalwart you could settle the outstanding £120 you owe me from January ?
  22. Bob Grundy
    Quite a poor and fragmented so-called documentery. It is very well torn apart on the Great War Forum.

    There was an instance well over ten years ago when both driver and commander in a Ferret were found to have committed 'culpable guilt'. I recall that it was when the vehicle was emerging from a side road onto a main one.
  24. Bob Grundy
    And so you should Andy and I hope it was a big stick.......

    I am quite keen on using the correct signals as laid down in the pamphlet. I don't have it to hand to quote from it however..... If the guide or marshal gives the correct signals and the driver 'OBEYS' then it is possible to get an armoured vehicle positioned with great accuracy (+/- 1inch) and safely.
