  1. Hi all.

    my insurance is due for renewal , but I have 3 vehicles now, trying to get a policy that allows me to park my vehicles in secure parking away from my home approx 5 miles . Any one know of a company that will insure on a multi policy. Champ and ferret are registed ! Rb on chassis number for (approx 4 weeks till registed) away from home address and recovery would be a added bonus. Any advice would be appreciated .

     

    thank Tony

     

    Footman James I have my Ferret and RB44 on the policy and they are insured for where I park them at the farm and at home.

  2. The tab for the national show has been removed, not having one this year ?

     

    Don't think so, I think the MVT have the idea that a lot of people will be travelling to France which kind of excludes anyone with a Post War vehicle doesn't it.

     

    Tony why don't you ask the MVT directly or ask your local Area Secretary what plans they have for a national show.

  3. Anyone know what vehicle this Sten gun mounting kit would have originally gone with? Assumed either a late service Daimler Scout Car or an early production Ferret since they would have transitioned over to Sterling SMGs and the 10-magazine holder is clearly marked for Sten mags.

     

    I've had it unissued in the original cardboard package padded with cotton waste for at least 12 years. No description on the carton and no installation documents or other reference as to how it all goes. Almost all of the parts have an "AF" prefixed part number if that helps to date it.

     

     

    Pretty sure but not 100% that its not Ferret.

  4. The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Lancaster will be visiting the UK in August this year and carrying out a series of events in concert with the BBMF's one - for perhaps the last time ever people will be able to see two Lancasters flying together!! Full story here:

    That will be worth seeing big smiles

  5. Thanks for confirming what we had thought. Looks kinda like a 9x9 from one end, but no end panel on other end, just 2 low level flaps.

     

    Back we got to the seller then, not what we asked for, unless any body want to swap out for a 9x9?

     

    That actually looks longer than a 9 by 9 if it had the frame it would be great.

  6. I will my friend :-)

     

    The map lamp plug is the same as the pic on Post 1 of this thread.

     

    Cheers

    I suspect I have a plug somewhere but these might be better

    Yellow would be very useful in its anti trip properties ie you can see the thing in daylight easier than black cable

  7. Hello everyone

     

    I've bought a 24v penthouse map lamp for the 101. Does anyone have any spare 3 pin cables which they will part with (screw fitting)?

     

     

    I've also bought a 240v/24v General illumination penthouse set for the shows. It's a great bit of kit. It's missing the 24v DC input cable (6150-99-901-4833). Any spares about? (save hacking into one of the interconnection cables)

     

    Thanks

     

    Matt

     

    Any pictures of the missing plug as in where it would plug into

  8. I wa wondering whether these were converted from Cromwells.

    I wonder how the wife would like the idea of a turret in the back garden?:angry

    Grandson would love it, I'm sure!

     

    To have a big enough garden to do that it would have to be able to be powered up

  9. Mark, just so you get a feel of speed and similar weight, here is youtube link of my Junior working at probably a similar weight to your proposal

     

    Much to others argument you are correct there is no minimum speed limit for a motorway, I have been stopped by the traffic police a number of times mainly to take a picture! And I asked the same question each time ,was I too slow.

    Good luck with your venture.

     

    After I watched the video at the end it had this below quite appropriate

     

     

  10. It's not just a question of how long it would last. The Diesel engine is slower revving so the diesel gearbox input module is geared differently to give the same top speed. I believe David Brown will convert a petrol one to a diesel for you at a cost of £58000.

     

    Chris

     

    Just £58000 I'll dip in my pocket and see what loose change I can find

     

    Still worth a punt on for someone they just might have to wait a while for gearbox to turn up
