I WANT one!!!!!! I have to borrow one!!! The last time was change all my Dodge's tyres. You may not need one often, but oh boy, when you do!

Tell me about it...

And after changing them inflating them with a footpumpX4.......only to discover the tyres (2nd hand) weren't round and having to do it all over again with different ones...:angry

Sounds sensible enough!

Lots of abandoned Russian kit.

I like the smaller tracked amphibians.

When I was in Bordon in 1982 to 1984 there were certainly two halftracks, both in the hangar. I seem to remember one was hard-top and the other soft-top, but don't quote me on that. I rarely had a camera during my service, so have few snaps, and the pictures on this site bring back a lot of memories. Thanks to all concerned.

 

In 1982 I donated a halftrack TM of some description to the collection, which I had picked up in 1969. At that time I was with 11th Hussars in Cachy Barracks, Perham Down, and they were about to amalgamate and move to Tidworth, with their halftracks being exchanged for 434s. A lot of Tech Pubs went in the bin at that time and it makes me weep now I think about what I could have saved.

 

Being a HQ Sqn B mech I only had one opportunity to drive a halftrack, and that only round the (very small) tankpark, but it was a great experience. The last time I saw a halftrack in action was circa 1971/72, when 10 Div Support Wksp FRT came to do an engine lift on a Centurion. The driver was an old mate from Arborfield (another ex-boy), and that's the last time I saw him. Where does the time go?

 

I hope my ramblings may be of some interest. Regards, Steve Gray.

Its amazing 1/2 tracks were still in service in the late 60's.

Goes to show they were capable....or they were slow replacing them.

Great project.

Now get back in the shed and get to work.

Hi Tyler,

10x10, I hope that is metres and not feet. It will be difficult to park a 20 foot wagon on a postage stamp :undecided:

And how about friends with seperate MV's?

Will they be able to camp together?

That's Lucky.

In a lot of cases the entire rear body are gone on the to make a flatbed.

Tags are missing a lot too so very good yours are there.

Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed.

Looking forward to the restoration thread.

be careful what you wish for, it might just come true

Hmmm,I'd first have to win the lottery or find a very wealthy woman....neither are likely to happen.:blush:

Do start a restoration thread.

I have a few Original US uniforms from WW1 and would like a Liberty B to go with it.

Now I only need to win the lottery...

Yes Shermans, Cromwells and Churchills.

I'm jealous of all you blokes toys!

I'm not jealous!

.

Really, I'm not!!!

.

Well maybe a little.:undecided:

Ah damn it, I'm going to bed.

That's a good find.

Not many of them lying around.

Welcome to the forum.

Enjoy reading and posting.

Thanks Edward

It has 3 small slits cut into it.

I heard from several people who bid on lots , also spares , that they got a message that even after they had the winning bid , it was cancelled. ?? Can they do that ?

Maybe they had a reserve price on these items?

Hi Enigma

 

Here are the photos you requested - I sold the helmet today so cant investigate further I'm afraid.

The steel one is from 1945, made by McCord.

Liner probably from the 80's.

Ok, thanks.

I only looked at the CT4B code in the first page of the link.

Now I look at the A/78 code it indeed points to the 70's.

Why can't they just have printed a date?:nut:

Its free here on the forum but a donation after selling is appreciated.

Thanks Harry

So I guess its 1984.

Maroon beret ! The RMP (Royal Military Police) wear red berets !

Thats what we call them in the Netherlands, we only know the airborne type, our MP has dark blue.

I have this one.

I assumed its dated 1978 by looking at the code or am I wrong.

There also used to be a seperate badge next to the wing, any idea what it could have been?

What could the value be?

That's coming along nicely, keep up the good work.

I can't see the majority of the photo's.

To be honest I don't believe the lock down is meant too literally.

Lock down sounds official but is probably meant to sound serious to at least pusuade attendees to not leave early.

However, It would be wise for Mr. Allison to register on this forum and explain things.

He may have said some things he didn't really mean or think through as happens to a lot of us.

So, ... paging Mr Allison. :cellphone:

The one that went for 43K was a real one. The repro one went for 17k.

So the repro is a weapon's carrier with newly made body on it?
