I've got the real thing, but he won't sit still long enough to get a picture. Steve

From what I remember about the highway code book, it only covers right hand drive vehicles. I can do all of those, not that anyone else on the road knows why I'm flapping my arms etc, but if the canvas is up, nobody would see any signals anyway. If I simply reversed the signals for the left seat, they are still less likely to be seen. Following drivers sitting on the right of their vehicles, looking diagonally, still have their vision blocked by the canvas. My arms aren't long enough to stick out far enough! Steve

What are the Permitted hand signals for a left hand drive vehicle on UK roads??? Steve

There's only two rolls of paper in the whole house, and you know which rooms they are in!!!! Steve

This is a job I intend to do over the winter. You can actually buy Orange/yellow LED clusters mounted in a normal bulb bayonet fixing for direct replacement of indicator blubs, which is what I may end up using. Steve

Yeh yeh, well if the replies, like Oddballs Tiger, are "a piece of junk", what do you expect!! I've had nothing but "positive waves" about replies since I first posted Steve
-
Nice pictures, but I don't think they represent a typical tank crew!!!! Steve
-
I see, so you have a leather fettish?? Can't blame you. I can't be separated from my B-3 jacket, especially now the snow is on the way. Steve
-
Thanks for that. Anyone got any tank crew photos?? Especially if you have one with leather flying clothing, but anything will do. Steve

In the film "Kelly's Heros", if my memory serves me correctly, Oddball is wearing a pilots A-2 Leather Summer flying jacket. Was this usual clothing for tank crews, or just because it suited the character in the film? If they were issued to tank crews, did they have any particular insignia, like the Army Air Force patch on aircrew jackets? Did they have a similar leather name tag stitched to the left breast, and were there any other distinguishing markings and insignia?? Off you go guys, put my mind at rest! Steve

My bedroom wall was done with a roller. Will a picture of that do?? Steve

I run my own Air Force. All R/C models, which are scratch built to 1:6 scale, powered by 40 to 60cc petrol 2-stroke chainsaw engines. See the USAAF Team website http://www.usaaf.org/ Steve

Thanks. Can anybody comment about the tyres??? Haven't seen that tread pattern before. Steve
-
Yes it is. Steve

As some of you will know, I have a strong interest in aviation, so when I came across some pictures of an Autogyro ( ? ) Jeep, I had find out more. Can anyone tell me more about this Jeep modification, its operation, why it was designed? Any info would be appreciated, thanks. Steve

I believe the last of the French M201 Auctions was mid 2002. I think everything is privately or dealer owned now. Steve

Here's a screen capture from the film ( I had the forethought to record it to DVD! ) By the looks of the picture, it seems to me that the pairs of tyres on each axel can still be made out as individual tyres. Steve
-
Not one, but Oh for a time machine!!!! Would love to bring some of that gear back to the 21st Century!!! Steve

I was watching for canvas water buckets!!!!! Steve

This year I've been attending events in my class A's on nice days, or A-2 flying jacket on the wetter summer days! Since my jeep is in 100th Bomb Group markings, I've been adding to my flying kit. I ordered a B-3 fleece flying jacket, and to go with that, I also bought a Type B-4 life preserver and HB-7 Headset. Anyway, here I am at the North East Aircraft Museum in Sept '07. and Lynne at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway War Weekend Steve

We've all seen the typical German soldier team in a Motorcycle and side car in war films etc. My question is, did the Allied forces use sidecars on motorcycles? I can't recall ever seeing one in a film, or in real life for that matter. Have I just had a sheltered life, and do they really exist? Steve
-
Nice to have you on board. Jack, shouldn't it be a rule that new members have to bring biscuits with them? Maybe then you could afford some green paint! Steve

We've had several "almosts" that fell through for one reason or another. Steve
