This is the only plate we can find, I have another picture which shows the numbers a little more clearly...any suggestions on what stand for?

That plate unbolts from the hull and the welded plate with the hull number will be beneath and give you the only vin type number that you can use.

1900 is the hull number and the month and year of production should on the welded plate

The vin number as produced in the 1950's for the vehicle should be under the alloy plate and it should correspond with the numbers in the top left hand corner of the plate. Ferrets pre-date vin numbers and the plate welded to hull should give you the month of manufacture and the year plus the hull number for example 06 59 1906

06 month

59 year

1900 hull number (one of 3000 plus produced)

Hi Simon,

The military registration is 01CC09 but it may not have been registered in the UK as vehicle with the DVLA. I do not know if it needs to be registered with the DVLA before it can be exported from the UK to America.

OK, so I am the BIG Satan, i understood.

So what is your alternative for me?

Support vehicle for someone who has a military vehicle and get in with them and leave you're car in the designated spot for such vehicles near the front entrance.

Just shows its a small world!

I'll get some photos up soon of the work we done

I would like to see some pics as my Sabre will be on the receiving end of an engine fitting in the near future. I would have got close up look if an arrangement with Tim had come off. Luckily he decided to go in another direction as the arrows trailer that we were going to use was locked in up at the yard.

TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS

 

I was walking behind following the Cromwell and took this Audio of the exhaust through the Normandy Cowl approx one foot away and just short of the blast of heat. A sound of which no doubt many an infantryman experienced. (NO VIDEO)

 

 

Pete rename your videos with Cromwell Tank at the start otherwise they will disappear into the youtube room 101

Was certainly good to see it in the flesh and also running around the arena. A fantastic job by all. A few pictures of mine below:

Shifty looking bunch :yawn:

Is it usually awarded at the same time as the other awards??

I think it went particularly well with a few teething issues to be sorted for the future. The arena seemed to be the biggest issue in that the public couldn't see enough of the action which is where the banking came in handy for the spectators at the old hop farm site. Its a pity that the grandstand couldn't be used and the arena moved more towards it. The big issue is the racetrack as the company owning the site seems to want to preserve it for racing in the future. Toilets and better signage for the public rather than relying on buying the program

Its for sale??????!!!!!!!!

Yes its for sale

anchor wanted over 200 quid for one!

They don't deserve to sell any way too much for what it is

I think they were the fast escape cover alls , mind you Andy had a black eye later in the week so not really sure what was going on in the back of the RV ! Now focus on the Cromwell will you Ben .

One would not wish to comment :-X

dunno why they left the SA 80 in there , wonder what went into the shorter rack though ? something Austrian or a GMPG maybe ??? and would the comms pod have a TUAAM in every corner ? for all 4 corner aerials ?? wish I had some pics of a original

Hit nail on head its for each aerial

On the whole a good show obviously helped being part of the crew for the Cromwell

Great videos thanks for posting them all up

Pete, Here is Rick receiving the awards.

Top notch bunch up in the turret

You may wish to tell me what I missed, I am aware he received a second award....Andy did you get my tripod I left at side of trailer?

Tripod is in the RB44 no probs

Rick richly deserved the top prize for best vehicle in show you should have been in the frame as well it wouldn't have been at the show but for you. :clap:

Here's Rick taking a pose for the Milweb photographer which will be seen from a different angle when published as this is my shot. Just in case you didn't know Rick has won an award off Milweb for best classic vehicle at the show.

It wasn't the only award Pete you missed the best bit

Bang the vid up sod the replies I wouldn't mind seeing it lol

When you reach 70 you lose several categories (7.5t and minibus) unless you apply for LGV entitlement and can pass the appropriate medical as I know to my cost!

Thanks Degsy pain in the arse isnt it. I'll pass the info on

We left about 9pm.

Nearly finished then Pete is it?

My Mum has just renewed her driving licence with the DVLA and has had to have it replaced photocard licence. Unfortunately the licence as returned is missing categories off the licence. It looks like a newly qualified drivers licence with just the basic categories on it. I am presuming that isn't correct but as something maybe different if your over seventy or seventy I thought I would ask on here.

He had luck on his side then it wasn't his time to go

I suspect Rick is still working on the Cromwell another late night
