  1. Hi Adam I have a vested interest in this particular "small war" as my Saladin first saw service there. Any links or pictures from this time would be gratefully appreciated. Just to whet your appetite though here is an in service picture of my Saladin on patrol in the Crater district. As you can see she has seen some action with small arms hits to the front mudwing. It would be good to be able to find out more about both her service and other events over there. Hope to have more people posting to this with interesting tidbits Regards
  2. I'll remember that next time we use it Ian :whistle:
  3. Glad to see that one of the moderators has not taken leave of his senses :whistle: Good on ya Snapper :-D :-D :-D
  4. I am sure that bottle said Nitrogen and not Nitrous Oxide :dunno:
  5. " The names Bond, Basildon Bond. I was moving but now I am stationary" " I am insisting on strip search for contraband Beluga Caviar" "I am liking this capitalist dress code" TYP :whistle:
  6. Kitten eh? :whistle: Have you driven it yet Val?? :dunno:
  7. Well give us a shout when you have it with you and perhaps we can arrange something.
  8. If it's the one Nick Mead was selling it did'nt come with a cannon, it only had the normal browning turret on top. As for it being a possible SA version, I somehow doubt it due once again to size of turret and gun depicted in picture. Whereabouts in London are you Val? As if not too far we can arrange a visiting Accumulator charging service, not cheap mind :whistle:
  9. Hi Chris Got all new mudwings ready to fit (all 4 corners at least) but could do with the straight panels if you know of them. I also need a couple of internal bits but will PM you with those.
  10. Got to love a rare bit of kit eh Andy :whistle: Production run of Saladin was far lower than most WW2 vehicles but then again times had changed, If memory serves me well I seem to recall it being around the 1145 mark. The Saladin in Withams Tender does look as though it is need of a lot doing to it as the Drivers hatch is missing ( hard to find let alone fabricate), All commanders periscopes missing and quite a bit of corrosion on the Mudwings, and thats just from the picture. Until I get a chance to look at it in detail who knows what the interior ios going to throw up. Whilst bits can be still obtained for these old girls they are getting scarce and at times non existent so unless you happen to know of a pile of bits just hanging around be prepared to continue to spend to get what you need.
  11. SMOKIN!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
  12. Just recieved this from HQ at Pirbright Yanno ..............it gives one a warm fuzzy feeling when people appreciate your efforts dont it?? For those who took part there is a little extra on the message but I am sure you can all guess what that is :whistle:. Needless to say, three square meals a day, accomodation and £1 a pint, what more could we want
  13. Hi Richard Good to see some from Essex area appreciate our efforts though you would'nt think so considering the phone conversations and mails we have recieved today. Wil we up to showing off in the arena?? Well that will of course depend on A/ Whether the vehicles will be allowed to remain at Daymn's Hall until the weekend. and B/ A suitable reply is recieved regarding todays correspondence. All being Ok though I am sure we will of course do what we can for OUR area. BTW we might be bringing Beltring mud with us but at least we did'nt manage to contaminate it with the Surrey outbreak of F&M.
  14. Back to the schoolyard :schocked: ITALY I trust and love you ( cant seem to find a smiley that puking its guts out ) :dunno:
