You know how you just happen across something that you were not looking for? Well..... I couldn't see it in the thread anywhere so here it is, I found it about halfway down this page http://coolnetpix.blogspot.com/2010/04/abandoned-supercars.html Imprint on photo suggests it was taken in 2004, hover your cursor over the photo, on the web page, and its title comes up in what is possibly greek but not too sure. Regards rog8811

Some years ago I took my son and nephews to that museum, we all enjoyed it greatly. The best bit was sliding down the firemans pole, can that still be done or has H&S scuppered the kids fun? Regards rog8811

No problem, I was aware enough of the possible problems to be rather vague about locations. If concensus is don't post I won't post. :-)

I will accept that I have been well and truly told, I will post no more

You do know you can apply to google to get a picture fuzzed, don't ask me how, but I have seen it done in a few places.

It took a moment to realise that the first picture was colour, not B&W:D Very nice looking job. Regards rog8811

When I was 12 years old I had reason to be walking in the Hankley common area when I came across a large "nissen hut" a peer through the grimey window revealed the contents to be an AEC Matador! My dream to be able to find where I saw it and discover it to still be there. Regards rog8811

I seem to remember reading about it at the time, but thanks for the reminder am, just off to see if there is anything more about it. Regards rog8811

Couple of pictures here http://home.clara.net/peterfrost/aflion.html I remember being rather taken by the mini scammells at lands end many moons ago.

I saw an interesting parcel arrive for mrs rog the other day.... I have high hopes for christmas :cool2: Regards rog8811

Below are a few more I have loaded a further 28 pictures to the following album http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/album.php?albumid=347 There is an outside chance that I can get some more up to date ones in the future. Regards rog8811

As this thread seems to be have a number of posts about Pirbright I will start this here.... I had the good fortune to bump into a buddy who had access to Pirbright in 2007, as he had his camera with him he decided to take a few pictures. Let me know if you want to see more.... Regards rog8811

I don't think he did. Tapped holes plugged and silver soldered. flange squared off.... I love silver soldering, very satisfying process when it goes well

I thought this was the same animal as in the first post until I counted the wheels, I will post as it looks very much like its bigger brother. Regards rog8811

A link to some nice range wreck photos, I had not seen them before, I apologise if they are already on here somewhere. http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php/3659-Where-old-tanks-go-to-Die! A taster below. Regards rog8811

I shouldn't be surprised by the in-depth knowledge of the members of the forum but I usually am Thanks for the info, am off to google for more. Regards rog8811

I found this and thought it may be of interest, http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2010/09/30/wondrous-tank-maker/#more-18612 it seems this guy is a serial tank builder. I would happily own any one of them, given a chance. Below is a photo of one of his armoured wheeled vehicles as a taster. I know little of WP vehicles (even though I used to have a Gaz) I do not know if it is represents a production vehicle. Regards rog8811

If you watch the second part of the rescue there seems to be a lot of waving about of suspended 360 excavator going on. A very impressive rescue all the same.

That has just gone onto my christmas list, thanks for posting the info :-) Regards rog8811

I had a day out today with mrs rog, it was going to be Arborfield until I noticed it would not be open on a Saturday:embarrassed: Farnborough first http://www.airsciences.org.uk/museum.html Free to enter with a small carpark. Both mrs rog and I are engineers and the r&d models and prototypes were of great interest, lots of cut away engines, bits of concords, comet TSR2.....Look out also for the fantastic photo of the saunders roe princess flying boat over Farnborough (my all time favourite airoplane). Outside are a number of planes including a harrier, you can peer into the cockpit of this one. There is the Bill Cody exhibition in a separate building with a fine full size replica of his number 1a flyer. The volunteers were very helpful and chatty... in fact too chatty when a visitor is trying to indicate that they want to move on.... At the moment there is an exhibition on the luftwaffe planes brought back to Farnborough for testing after the war, shame more of them didn't survive. No cafe or drink making facility that we could find... and the restaraunt across the road smells wonderful:-) Time spent there an hour. Just a few minutes down the road is Aldershot Military Museum http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=37 Part of an old barracks, there is ample parking.. I siddled up to the chieftain with my car. £2.50 entry fee with self service coffee and tea facility. Again a small museum, which we had to ourselves, indoors are some local history bits as well as military stuff. There are a number of vehicles dotted around that can be appoached. Saladin,saracen ,humber pig, LR piglet and more. What did dissapoint was that a number of the vehicles were under wraps and could not be viewed, these included the challenger, stalwart, bedford RL and ferret. We spent a pleasant hour and a half including a coffee and flapjack break. Both museums are well worth a visit and can easily be done in the space of 3 hours. Regards rog8811

How frustrating is that! I cannot get the movie to run! all your others on youtube are fine but this one just buffers and doesn't run> Good to hear you succeded anyway. Regards rog8811

Moves it toward the correct page:cool2:..... Like everyone else I have been watching and waiting... not much longer to go now then! Regards rog8811

When the ebay listing is over 30 days old it will disappear, on that basis I have snagged a couple of the photo's for posterity. Regards rog8811

Looks a bit like a "go no-go" gauge for a part on the gun... Try measuring the cutout on each to see if they are a thou or so different.

Incredable progress! It is really coming together now and is looking great. Keep the pictures coming please. Regards rog8811
