Hello All,
Apologies for the delay in posting here as I jumped the gun and posted in the Tracked forum first.:nono::nono:
I live near Narrabri, New South Wales, Oz and work at the Australia Telescope (Radio Telescope Compact Array) as a Cryogenics Officer. I have two Amphibious Studebaker Weasels (albeit in kit form) plus a Ford Gpw. My reason for joining the forum apart from the good company here:) is that I recently imported #2 Weasel from Sweden and thanks to some good feedback and information, both on the US weasel forum and here, I found out that this weasel was indeed used by the British Army.
In a past life I spent 20 years in the Royal Australian Navy retiring as a Chief Petty Officer Marine Technician. For the more senior members of the forum I was fortunate to Visit the UK in 1977 for the Spithead Review as part of the celebration of the Queens Silver Jubilee. I was young 'stoker' on the Aircraft Carrier HMAS Melbourne. I had a good time over your way spending Pounds and Pence like our Dollars and cents even though the pound was double the value. I do remember visiting a fellow by the name of Peter Gray who had MV's in Worthing. I wonder if he is around today????
Well thats enough for now
Cheers
John Wilson
