civil service??

Cheers

Any way of giving them a hurry up??? I have only been waiting 8 weeks :shocked:

The time for this should be about three weeks.

Contact them, they won't (or dare) bite.

The air show comentator was not very good, a few inacuracies (like my spelling.....)

There was a chap doing this that had only one arm, he was much better.

I will add to this in saying that Richard has always been most helpfull to me

over the years. Phoned up one day about 5pm and the item was with me the

following morning.

Could they be the armoured box that contains the smoke grenades on the outside

of the turret of an Abbot ?

Some more taken on the same evening.

The Cent looks interesting, was the Grizzly recovered?

I do not know, probably destroyed by the 120's

Lullworth,a Saturday evening, 1987.

Hi just come across this thread and thought this pic. may be of intrest.

Larkspur W.S. A.41 radio.

5820-99-949-0295

Never seen such a complete set up. It has been lent to me today to photo for intrest. Your bag is second from the bottom, which is full with head set, leads etc. hope of intrest, I've taken loads of pic's.

Regards Airportable.

A signaler carring the A41 has to carry his webbing as well as the radio.

So where is his mess tins,washing kit, etc to go? Try getting the frame over the kidney

pouches.........

I think that it is for these items, I seem to remember it that way.

Hi

Just got my self a fv432 MK2/1 , When i ingage starter switch there is nothing from the starter but the solanoid on the pump clicks bakwards and forwards rapidly, should this happen? Many thanks to anyone who might be able to advise.

 

Thanks again

Simon:cry:

Time to take the pack out............

Well done to the chaps at The Tank Museum ?

As much as I like them they did nothing at all, it was myself and a brave band of helpers who did

the restoration.

As to request in Post 7; This is the A11 Infantry Tank Mk1 Matilda 1 after it had been extracted from its

resting place on the range at Otterburn. The date is June 1988. After 5 years work the tank was in

a restored running condition, it is part of the running fleet at Bovington.

Now what happened to this Leyland ?

It was photographed in 1993 near Stockport and I believe owned by a Roy Breeze.

I remember seeing this brilliant film first time round in I think 1967.

It got me thinking then, however it was not the Guards for me.

Thanks for providing the means to see this again.

It is a film of its time and should not be judged by 2010's attitudes, be they right or wrong.

Now this is what I like to see, the end of another Saracen.............

Found some more of Warcop.

As you can tell it is a Centurion.........and a sheep.

Officialy it was not a WAR, but a state of hostilities..............

No one has mentioned IWM North, a splendid comprehensive collection, well set out and with knowedgable

staff to answer all questions.

As you know I am a very truthfull chap.............or am I ?

Bob

Vintary

Can you tell us more about these two photos ?

Am I correct in thinking that the RR had a replica armoured car body fitted for the film Lawrence of Arabia ?

Now it is back as a motor car?

What happend to the replica body ?

Very interesting.................

Dave

I have the Instruction Book for the GUY FBAX 3/5 Ton, Six Wheel War Office Chassis.

I am sure that it would be of use to you..............

Bob

Hello David

Time marches on..............I thought you were dead.

Bob

This is photo taken at the A F Budge Gamston depot about 1996. It is a Cruiser Tank Mk 11 or 11A.

They were manufactured 1938 - 1940 and in action with the BEF and in North Africa.

To me and others it is a A10. Originaly it was at Pirbright now long gone for scrap................

Thanks for the info, phoned Dave today and has a 8 week waiting list.

So certainly not defunct............

I have two carbs that re-conditioning.

Solex 35 RFVDL and a Zenith Model 23

Can anyone recomend a good firm or individual to contact ?
