hi john

you could speak to peter grieve at flight engineering in leeds. he rebuilds meteors and merlins and will have figured out most tricks  involved in the process tel. 0113 2430792

a friend sent me this on facebook. too many projects for me to do it but someone might need a challenge

nice tank

by the way a 4x4 truck doesn't need under run bars for MOT

i'll keep my ears open for you

great work. it's hard enough doing it with all the bits in front of you, so trying to figure it all out from pictures and drawings is something else. well done

gina my 1941 churchill was white and the covenanter as well. i don't know when they switched to silver but my 43 cromwell was silver originally.

keep it a centaur mate. it's too good to mess about with

I've got a meteor for sale on milweb and I'm hoping the £7.5k will cover the engine costs. No harm in being optimistic 😀

engine is now with the specialist. i'll be keeping my fingers crossed

some great pics. future restoration projects for someone

the bigger the better !

my favourite tank. good luck with the project 

i now mix my own paints to make various shade of green as i have struggled to find exact matches to the vehicles original paint. mustard yellow and a reddish brown will give you a good place to start.

don't put black in to darken it, just add more brown. you will be surprised how easy it is to get the exact shade you want

 it's had a hard life

23 teeth on the sprocket

glad to hear you finally found a carrier. i shipped a carrier from canada a while back and used penguin shippng who took care of everything 

i have a mk4 sprocket from a heavy cast AVRE i'll get a pic tomorrow

coming along nicely

thanks dale.

might be a change of plan with the oil tank/ i am considering molasses instead

nice work dale. i know where to bring all my rusty bits now !  

very impressive. not the cake i'm afraid

lauren i'm glad you're swotting up on cents as i have 4 of them now. i would consider a swap for that old charioteer wreck of yours
