Well back at work but only a skeleton crew on, so battling to make it through the lunch break awake. My only excitement was the mail:

- Antenna tie downs

- Quick release door pins

- Ural motorcycle engine

Counting down the days until UK again :nut:

yes, very nice :tup::

RIP Ray - thanks for sharing your recollections with us

G'day and Welcome

G'day & Welcome

They are quite rare on your side of the pond.

Has this one been posted before..... brings a tear to my eye :-D

ok check out the guy inspecting the rope at the 3 min mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wOc4xo0XP0

that looked like a mechanical failure on the crane, given the temperature could be.

the Russian tank before...... are they going for a record for driving tanks off the sides of transporters?

not quite sure how this site works. I think its a bit like Withams

Another old movie I had not seen before

"Inspired by Churcill's Dunkirk speech, brash, undisciplined bush pilot Brian MacLean and three friends enlist in the RCAF but are deemed too old to be fliers"

A lot of actual footage on training bases in Canada

this guy on Ebay mentions he has a spare tub in this listing

First time I drove across Australia was around '74 and the Nullabor was mostly dirt back in the day. Your trip was a few years earlier so I'm guessing even less black top.

I was in Townsville '90 to '93 and went there for a quick trip a few years back and was amazed how big it is now. Still love driving around Oz for some weird reason

I didn't post where I watched it first, as the original site is somewhat annoying with popups

but just found it here also

very nice

Was digging around old movies and came across this 9 minute documentary "A tribute to the courage and resiliency of Britons during the darkest days of the London Blitz"

A lot of real footage in there

G'day and Welcome

There was an effort recently to try and save one that was in a state of disrepair but all has gone quiet for some time now. Not sure if it still exists

What's salvageable? Radiator grille? What's the engine like?

Mind you I used to have a link to a website where a guy restored something as bad as this so anything is doable

Will be curious to follow this

It was an original barn find, but the barn had burned down :nut:. The reg is ZL 1233. Yes, I saw the other Thread. We had no idea the Jeep was military until recently. It was only after doing some research on my Morris Quad that we came across some reg numbers of Irish military vehicles.

 

Is the other thread about your Jeep? I am taking a trip to Dublin in the new year to the Irish military archive, I could have a look for your reg if you like?

The other one belongs to Protac. He hasn't updated for a while as he also bought a plane :-D
