Tony Some people can move a normal trailer about in reverse I don't count myself as being one of those 'some people' lol. As the RB44 has a front pin on the bumper if I need to move it about I'll have a crack that way as I had read on here that was the easiest way to do it.

Don't say that say its easy to reverse I want to move it on lol :-)

Hire a steam cleaner maybe if thats possible That would be handy to see I suspect I'll be doing it the manual way

Britains oldest stunt pilot 90 retires but not from flying http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2408489/Flying-sunset-Britains-oldest-stunt-pilot-finally-forced-age-90.html

Thanks Chris that as always is appreciated. I'll post up some more pics next week with the deck off

I went over to the yard with the intention of drilling the hull to let the water out which it did for awhile. The hull drilling drained three batteries luckily I was finished nearly at that point. Cleaning thats next week the basics anyway Whats the best way to take the deck off?

Nova as well were ex Frog kits I think I have a Revell Shackleton somewhere which I think was ex Frog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_(models)

Hi Tim, All three luckily :-D mega oily thats the reason I nearly fell off the Sabre :embarrassed: lol.

A couple of pics of the trailer I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it actually is :-) It needs a wash I'm not sure what to do with it yet (yucky images dust on the lens).

A few pictures from yesterday, dust on the lens is the reason for yucky images. Most of the bits were in the engine bay and this looks like the seat pan any ideas what the long bolts fit onto plus some of the other bits? I will be cleaning it out next weekend the yard has no power or water so its bring everything with you time

Bit late on this one (June)! I had been meaning to load this up at the time but I switched memory cards Picture taken in Manchester town centre in Piccadilly Gardens.

I don't think that the truck approaching the ramp was under power hence the speed but the handbrake being off didn't help (or whatever).

This one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EX-ARMY-MILITARY-4X4-KARRIER-K6-3TON-GS-VINTAGE-CLASSIC-TRUCK-LORRY-WAGON-W-WAR2-/171112295362?pt=UK_Commercial_Trucks&hash=item27d7166bc2

If the speed had been lowered on the approach they might have not moved the trailer forward causing the ramps to move upwards. Nicked this off facebook the seven P's Prior planning and preparation prevents p1ss poor performance!

Cracking pictures The Yorkshire Wartime Experience has the makings of great show it could be 'the' show to go up North in a few years time.

The canvas I originally took the dimensions from went to the tip a while ago

I have a new bagged wide track cover. I'll sort you out a sketch for the narrow track

Hi Robin, I have a sketch of a narrow track cover I also have a spare cover I think as well in the shed. The sketch that I have now has a password and username scrawled on it by me so I'll redraw it tonight and post it up. Weird coincidence that I've just shifted the cover about whilst tidying the shed :nut:

I have broken up a Champ in the last five years and I had one that was only fit for spares as it had a bent chassis rail that probably ended up being broken up as scrap as well

Anything pre 1960 still wouldn't be a problem to own and drive as you know. Just pick a Ferret thats pre 1960 lots of them about. Back to clearing rubbish out of the house sorry recycling :-(

Runner or none runner? If you have the money buy the best Ferret that you can with all the inner bins and boxes in position and with the five external bins in place and in good condition. With the best Ferrets I would expect to have all the CES that it is possible to own legally in the UK. Most of the CES is still available Radios Larkspur boxes and radios come up every now and again on ebay Clansman radios, cables and boxes on ebay Intercom a must approx 90 decibels when driving 30 mph plus Mechanicals its 1940's - 50's technology plugs points and a condenser with some added quirks that become annoyances but seem to be typical of British AFV's (lack of thought for the person who has to work on the vehicles). Can be driven on your own but for dual carriage way driving its best to have somebody up top.

Rick has kindly offered to pick it up and no I didn't view cardinal sin I know with Withams. On good note you have answered the question on what the condition was of the box :undecided: Such is life

Thanks for looking it looks to be a useful size of trailer especially with the box on the back,it would make a nice conversion with a bit of space for carrying 'equipment'. I'll sort out some pictures of the box and trailer when I have crossed Ricks palm with £ notes.

I thought the accommodation bit might be of use and yes I'm sure it would work fine behind the DAF.

Thanks Ian its not a lot for the size of the trailer
