I need to re-vote, still have the Dodge (in many bits) but now have a nice little WOLF 90 :whistle:

I hope in the not too distant future my 52 will be up and running and marked up with Force 135. All I have to do is get home to work on it (easier said than done) still I have just under a year for the 70th so I might manage it.

Tony why is it you crapauds are always jealous of us donkeys? :-D

My newest toy: WOLF 90, cast 2012, sat static for a year then registered to the previous owner for a few months, mechanically sound with a little bit of rot in the drivers foot well. The normal list for bits is growing hard top etc, a rolling resto of some parts that have surface rust and the odd seal.

Hi everyone, I am a member who was on here a few years ago but due to work and other commitments I am afraid this forum was put on the back burner and I am now glad to say I am back in. So a little about me, my name is Nathan however I go by the nickname Mash. I am from a lovely little island called Guernsey but due to my employer I now spend most of my time in the UK and sunnier climes. By trade I am a VM1 and have experience with L/R's of various types 80's to WOLF's, Daf and Bedford fleet along with a good knowledge on the IMMLC and MMLC Drops trucks. I spent 5 years (2007-2012) working along side the soon to be disbanded 2LSR and from this I gained a vast knowledge of big toys. My little collection consist of a WC-52 (chassis up resto been going on far too long) and a new addition to the fleet is a 90 defender WOLF (rolling resto) Cheers Mash.

No, I am REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers). I specialize in anything with wheels the army owns from quads through Mastiff and up to HET's.

I am coming up to my 8th year in the British army, specialized as a VM (B) and now a Class 1.

Singed.

Now may he RIP.

Link not working.

Most LEDs are multi voltage, I have used ones normally fitted to 24v vehicles on 12v systems and they have been ok.

Something like this mounted under the wing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Of-Amber-LED-Stick-On-Indicator-Turn-Signal-Strips-For-Motorbike-Car-Van-/190717988874?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2c67ad900a

I know the Sherman was a under armored but that, an extra tank might be a little over the top. :wow:

When people think they know what they are doing, this can happen: Very lucky chap.

12 for sure and a pos 13. Is this aimed at kids?

British WW2 respirators do contain asbestos in there filters.

How is it I never find anything like this when I go out and about.:cry:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morning,We will remember them. Rest in peace.

Have known a few Mastiffs to come through the main gates after a patrol with RPG's still in bar armour, crew only alerted by the guy on the gate.:wow:

I believe it is ok for a tash but not for a beard, however certain religions and some of our Commonwealth soldiers are allowed to maintain beards and I believe that there is a special gel that forms the seal, I have never seen it but it has been told to me that it does exist.

No he is not, New owner is Jayne Shorto. What she looks like now.

I stumbled on this video of various British Armour, hope you all enjoy. (It does contain the use of the word s***)

CFK 879 aka Slippery six is now under new ownership in Guernsey. There are a few more cckw lurking in the sheds over there too.

Have not see that video in a while now, army do still use it from time to time.

A lot of vehicles were left from the BEF intact, however once the allies advanced across Europe, I would expect most of the Axis vehicles would of been badly damaged during the ensuing battles. This would be due to the Air dominance the Allies had and were able to disable many of the vehicles before troops on the ground got close to them.
