Bet that was fun getting it out

Sold some goodies and came back with very little hurray says the missus met Rick (eddie8men) and also saw lofty from Eastenders (many moons ago) probably the last time I watched the program. Plenty of people not many wanted to part with the pennies. But came back reasonably happy and only bought a few things We took the RB44 down so if you saw it in the car park... managed to spill coffee all over the mat missus not happy

Whoever you want it to be I'm sure she is a lovely lass

Nice to know that I was right I didn't want to message him and than find that I had identified it incorrectly Thanks for the confirmation

I haven't a clue what this is in the back of this RB44 so a few pics for you to have a crack at identifying what it is. Missile reloads or mortar tubes? Sorry the Sun yes I said Sun has made the pics a bit bright where I wouldn't want it to be can't complain too much as it was a good day.

The person that is selling the picture has identified it as a Bristol Blenheim but I think its a Bristol Beaufort what do you think? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blenheim-X8931-Coastal-Command-livery-/140471861988?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item20b4c682e4#ht_500wt_1156 Item number: 140471861988

Wish this had x-ray vision I could see into the ladies showers:cool2: Back to the real world lets see if we can get the private up to his neck in cold water:-D

Double nagging ones enough

The smile at the end says it all about the vehicles

Thanks for the pictures the bionic man would look at that Saladin wheel and think easy and do himself an injury

That last picture of the Saxon hull wouldn't be a great moral booster for troops still having to use them on ops

What does the mortar kit look like by any chance?

ditto that its a cracker

The DVLA saying that they don't want tracked MV's running on the road has to backed up with a good explanation of why they don't want them on the road and the criteria that they base that on. Just saying 'WE' as civil servants don't want them on the road isn't good enough. Its good to hear that MVT have been just as concerned about this development. I still think that they 'r' basing this development on the wrong vehicle and that they require clarification to help them. Do it the right way without upsetting anyone and its more likely to have a better outcome for you and the MV hobby.

Surely the positions of the lights can be altered to enable the vehicle to comply. If the DVLA have used the wrong model or vehicle type as there example of why it can't comply that would be the owners perogative to challenge them. Would the freedom of information act enable Dan to find out where the DVLA have got there info from.

Eddy If you ever get the chance do go its a top notch collection top guy as well he showed me and my Dad around very impressed

Operation Banner is Northern Ireland I'm sure that you know that already http://www.operationbanner.com/

Somewhere along the way all vehicles will eventually be 'historic' and to say that only pre 1960's vehicles and WW2 vehicles are wanted seems a bit ahem. Life and production lines didn't stop at the end of the war. The legislation that we have has become unnecessarily complicated making it difficult for the ordinary person to own a heavier commercial style of vehicle without falling foul of some piece of law rule or whatever. It isn't helped when Vosa the DVLA and the like say one thing and then change there tune at the drop of a hat. If we don't have some sort of rolling exemption the vehicles being released now won't exist in anything like the numbers of the pre 1960's vehicles. As it is we don't see enough WW2 British vehicles at shows.

I say old chap there really is no need for a portable loo cleaning service one just avails oneself of a spade and a local bush.

Look if I've told you once I've told you fifteen bloody times I don't want to buy you're watch
