I know I'm being a bit thick here (my brain doesn't work in the cold) but I'm after a matching Sankey trailer to pull behind me 1981 series 3 lightweight landrover. Does it have to be narrow track or would a wide track be historically accurate ? Many thanks Phil

Took the Lightweight out for a play in the snow Phil

Aden maybe ?

Has anyone used Prontopaints NATO green paint, or can they recommmend another supplier ? Many thanks Phil

Not spotted today, but last saturday M6 north, Tebay services- Phil

Every problem has a solution...

I have no problem with legroom in my lightweight... as I only have short legs! However, my girlfriend's son (who has been Landie mad since he could talk) is only 15 but is 6' 1" already and has massive feet (size 12), we may have problems shoehorning him into the lightweight when he's 17 and raring to get out on the roads! Phil

Hope this helps... http://www.mvt.org.uk/area_pages/cumbria.htm

Whatever happened to the M109 Howitzers the British army used up until gulf war one? Were they sold on, returned to the U.S. or are they sat in reserve somewhere awaiting their fate ? Phil

Erm, so what are the ones that Withams are selling ? Phil

It was good to meet you all. It was a good night we all enjoyed it.

Don't know if it's the same vehicle, but these were taken of a jeep at the Holker museum about 2 months ago Phil

Home of the Flookburgh steam gathering Cark was a wartime fighter aerodrome, opening in 1941. Once the threat of invasion had receded, it was used for Flying Training Command, and as a staff Pilot Training Unit. What we know today as the RAF Mountain Rescue came here in 1944 from around the corner at RAF Millom, seeking out those aircraft which had crashed on the lakeland fells. The M.R.U started life in 1942, moving when flying training ceased. Cark closed when WWII ended in 1945, but re-opened in later years for private use. One runway is still in use by the North west parachute center. Watch Office for Night Fighter Stations 12096/41, W/451/41 . Now a private residence Fighter Satellite Watch Office, 14404/40 Battle H.Q.
