A motor sickle......... could not see a name on it UPDATE

No it's not Luton [ATTACH]17446[/ATTACH] This is a memorial to the soldiers as it was hit by an RPG during the insurgency. The impact area is easy to spot as well as the fragmentation or spalling inside.

A Japanese Gun and a Breda

A Cadillac ?? CORRECTION

I don't know... But Clive will :cool2: UPDATE - I'm guessing the trailer is for bomb disposal use as Meltron seems to specialise in that type of thing.

A KM414 106mm recoilless rifle carrier and a Bren Carrier (obscured by cam netting :-\)

After seeing the rebuilds in here I have a soft spot for these... :yay: Nice ground anchors

:eek: Panhard VTT

A Daimler

A Ferret

more guns

A train CORRECTION

Not quite sure, fairly sure Aussie had these to, with the seats on the front

A Morris

They got diesels ones here also that are quite nice..... would be rust traps though!!

Some guns

As discussed I was told by my friends and colleagues that it would be in poor taste to work on the Pinz on Christmas day. So I had a special day with the wife as I took her to the Army museum. I know, I'm a softy :cool2: So, of course I took piccy's of the MV's First a Stonefield Goomba

yep that was it...... Never saw them in the Commando comics

Yep. The history of PT was that supposedly they used to coat the rail wheels in the store with oil to stop them going rusty. The dust would collect and later they would see lines in the dust. Another NDT method from railyards was/is hammer testing: - hit it with a hammer if it rings (it's ok) if it doesn't (it's not). Still used on aircraft composites and testing bolts to be tight. - hit it with a hammer, if it falls off (it's not ok). Self explanatory but often overlooked e.g. I often get asked to perform all types of fancy NDT on certain components. On several occasions I have said to them hit it with a hammer and if it falls off it needs replacing.

being ceramic, post war????? Any idea of the name, I'll look it up? I always thought odd as the Mills ww2 era, as in Vietnam Aus used (I can't remember) the one with I think 80m of wire in it, and phosphorous.

yeah, it's somewhere in my boxes of stuff back in Aus, had it since '84 I guess. One guy who pulled the pin and saw the smoke, dropped it in his girfriend's lap as he was bolting out the door. Needless to say that romance faltered. The guy I got the grenade of also had these ceramic ones which had a cap that screwed off. Under that was a rolled length of flat rope/string. I am guessing some sort of trip device but never seen anything like it ever since.

oops So anyone know the full story, stuck in reverse??

if its 50 cal the bullet will be around 12mm maybe was a tracer if had powder inside the bullet. I got a mills hand grenade at home. Amazing how everyone wants to pull the pin, they get a bit disconcerted when smoke comes out. I used to fit a roll of caps under the centre pin, no noise but gave a little puff of smoke

G'Day The Dimensions are: Height - 1,85 m Width - 1,76 M Length - 3.10 m This one is a Workshop box so gots lots of extra doors and racks. He also has ambulance boxes up in Shropshire. I was toying with the RB44 box and modding it but the amount of modification was a bit much (or unknown). I also wanted to keep the soft top but after the last accross Australia trip in the Land Rover Lightweight which filled up with red dust I thought I better be sealed up a bit better.
