My experience of ebay is that they only worry about the rules they want to.
Very true but they do rely on 'do gooders' pointing them in the right direction.
-
Yes thanks for the advice. I am no expert but I did think there would be a problem importing these parts which could be used to assemble a gun, also I am not sure they comply with ebay rules?
They don't but why spoil someone else's fun
-
The wooden parts be it Sten or whatever won't be in need of a fac as it would be a straight swap for whatever is in position. New parts wouldn't look right mind you
The seller is doing a good job of shielding his descriptions of items isn't he
-
Some useful info if you use MS Office or Word

Just a thought (I try not to have too many) would the love mobile come under you're house policy just for what it contains? It might be worth a call to ask or make them aware that you would like it on the policy.

My pictures need updating will do so in the summer
I would swap headsets and pressells about to see if the noise follows the headset around or the pressell. It could be a loose wire or dry soldered joint

Er no nothing you can do till Hotmail / MSN admits HMVF back onto its good list. At the moment it must be being flagged as spam or an email account / website thats a no no.

Welcome to the forum

Sorry to hear that commiserations to you and you're family

Have finished the turret bowl today and am in the process of putting it back under the turret. Am getting fed up with working on the turret - looking forward to the hull work - and have all summer to do it.
The bowl is now 95% perfect and am glad to see the back of it ! :-D[ATTACH=CONFIG]58838[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]58837[/ATTACH]
Disgustingly GOOD very nice work

I suspect that we have all done this at some point in that we have been to a show and wandered round the stalls and seen something of interest and its in the back of you're mind that you should buy it and you didn't. Looking back be it days, weeks or years it still grates that you didn't buy it. What is it and when?
Mines Ferret related it had to be didn't it; Ferret rear mudguard on Marcus Glenns stand at Stoneleigh five years ago at £45 nos. It still grates it really does peanuts thinking about it now suspect I ran out of pennies.

I suspect that the main reason that people launch stuff into the skip is that they want it out of the way and if they don't do it when the skip is outside they will have it forever more. Not good
-
Is it hessian or is it the same stuff as used in mail bags (grey nylon type material). Hessian mail bags pen and ink Royal Mail replaced most of them with the grey nylon type

It was on the Aussie news also as it is a commonwealth grave yard
I feel quite strongly about these graves as they are scattered all over the place and are abused, moved, untended or destroyed.
The policy of conveniently burying our soldiers in the nearest graveyard instead of bringing home is a penny pinching practice and they should of been and still should be repatriated. Up until mid Vietnam war Australia continued the practice and policy was fallen were to be buried in the closest commonwealt grave yard, in that case Malaysia. When the first conscripted soldier was killed in that war there was an outcry and after that they get brought home.
Oddly enough was reading an article the other day about the Malaysian historical group that found a British aircraft from ww2 in the jungle, the UK government wanted nothing to do with it. Yet the locals knew if found by others it would be cut up for scrap regardless of remains
Its still policy of HM government to leave aircrew with the aircraft, it isn't right and it shouldn't happen.
As for headstones not being cared for I can think of one headstone in a cemetery in North Manchester that isn't cared for. From memory when I happened to wander through the cemetery it looked like the headstone had been just hacked out of the undergrowth. I suspect that the innocent reason is that the family have died or moved away late 1940's early 1950's headstone.
-
In my day it was a black board, because it was black.
Changed it I don't know why I wrote chalk board, association is the only thing I can think off
-
Idiots over here kick over headstones for the 'fun' off it. I suspect that if we had a more enlightened form of punishment removal of benefits or the Singaporean method of chastisement we would not have these problems. When I was at school many years ago the woodwork teacher had a wonderful method of encouraging pupils to pay attention..... he threw the blackboard duster at them.

Not done too much recently due to me pulling all my neck muscles (again
)But have managed to begin adding the black. Jack has had to take over all ceiling painting as I can't tilt my head back or raise my arm higher than shoulder level!!!!! He is doing a sterling job must admit.
Was hoping to have had all painting done this weekend but the painkillers I am on make me feel like s**t.
Best to let someone else do it I stripped off the ceiling in the old dears house (term of endearment honest) and ended up having years of neck pain which only sorted itself out when I had flu for two weeks. Best cold that I have ever had
:-D My neck still clicks but at least I can sleep now without waking up in agony.

I would suggest that you check what google maps (street view) is actually showing for you're house or where you store you're vehicles.

Yes me I've won the number of the beast I'm sure I bid too much. Unusual they normally contact you on Wednesday

Driver is Tom a lovely older gentleman who after this sadly decided to retire from displaying the Tank museum Ferret.
Thats a shame accidents happen mistakes can be made its always the case that you learn all the better for making those mistakes.

Thanks Chris sorted or it will be

If you're feeling the urge for a challenge the Chinese tracked vehicle that is in the tender might be worth a punt. Its full of water and lacks an engine but it would certainly be different on the show circuit.
The RB44's on the other hand were dreadful one vehicle had a movement order dated 2002 for back loading to the UK from Cyprus, it didn't look like it had moved again under its own power. Quite a few of the RB44's were covered in moss from sitting outside somewhere unused and most definitely unloved.

What a beastly machine, one day I hope to get down to Slab and have a look at it and your other kit in action
You're not the only one who would like to visit
we will be out on sunday 11th march at slab common,borden with the conq and may be we will have the antar out for a drivePity you're so far away I would like to visit at some point, all that hot air coming out of a green machine wonder how much the congestion charge would be. Its very green but not very friendly to green people if you know what I mean. :nut: I'm going for a kip I've been exposed to too much air today

It would o.k to use as vehicle decoration wouldn't it? Save good track for the vehicle and pass the rest onto other restorers who would like to dress the vehicle up a bit (waste not want not).
