Thanks Chris If I 'win' anything at Withams I might have a wander over to the Ripley one The tents cheaper!! Andy

Chris The one I went to is at or near Notts Countys ground where's the other one? I did think that most of what I saw was expensive tat, the canvas I didn't think I could go to wrong with for a tenner Andy

Forgot this picture

On the way to Withams we stopped of at Anchor Supplies in Nottingham. I bought a few items like you do Shelter Passage connector for £10. Opened it up this morning thought not to bad for a tenner could quite easily make a tent out of it or a small market stall just needs poles and angle bits. Un sticker ten pounds 36 by 39 cm Three convoy flags for 50 pence each (only had blue and yellow left) Andy

The Pig in the pictures was at Withams yesterday 22/11/08 think the reg on the front was 13BK14. Didn't look to bad at all Andy

What would you do with these low lives stealing from work colleague is bad enough taking memory’s / plaques honouring soldiers who gave there lives for us is beyond my comprehension. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1077565_insult_to_our_war_heroes

Mick, The turret weighs about ½ a ton I wouldn’t recommend lifting with two or three bods as the turret weighs more towards the front where the gun barrel would stick out. Use an engine lifter to move it about and if you happen to get on with a local farmer or builder ask them to put the turret on for you. Andy

http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/switchboardtext.doc Not 100% that my grammar is correct I think the basics r there! No doubt the instructions could be improved... I don't know how well the decals would stand to direct sunlight in regards to fading so might be best used inside like the Ferret Andy

As Richard says its off a Conqueror I have a picture of the one from Castle Martin Andy

Plastic surgery would it be used for stretching piercing skin? Andy

Many Thanks all bit late I know I'll try the hand luggage bit if I fancy a holiday in prison. Andy

Prefer the idea of a strain gauge Had thought about it realised I like living, missus wouldn't be happy if it went bang... at least I'm hoping so shes been on the phone to the insurance company A bit heavy not managed to drop one on my toe yet good chance the missus might throw one at me! Andy

Hi all I have a box of these all brand new in packets I presume that there involved in towing but I'll be honest I don't know what they are. Any ideas?

Hi Neil That will teach me to be a smarty pants won't it lol Close enough I think - it's a Supermarine B12 "Suffolk" - one prototype built which was destroyed in an air raid. Andy

My first thought on photo number eight was that it was an Armstrong Whitworth product turned not to be so. I then had a feeling that it might relate to the Air minstry inviting designs for a heavy bomber which eventually lead to the Avro Manchester, Handley Page Halifax and the Short Stirling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Type_317 The Supermarine Type 318 see http://freespace.virgin.net/john.dell/AArt2.htm The picture shows the same engine cowl design as used on the Whitley and Halifax. Andy

Number 3 is a Short Sturgeon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sturgeon Andy

Two smoke discharger covers for a pound each. Thought that was quite good, I did hear of someone buying the ammo catcher bag for £4. Andy

I've just had a quick read through on my IMPS News Letter (http://www.imps.org.uk). It states: If your planning on driving in France as from the 1st July you must have with you a high viz vest /red warning failure to carry said items will result in an on the spot fine of 100 euros ouch! Its not clear if thats a fine for each missing item. That as well as the other items you must carry. Andy

It looks very similar to the strengthening plates fitted to some up-armoured Ferrets which I presume is to stop the welds cracking at a join. Andy

What r you switching on or is it that the ballast resistor has a live 24 volt supply plus another which rotates the starter. Andy

I was at Barton when the accident happened at the time both of us were absolutely gutted that we had seen to people die in an aircraft that was notoriously difficult to land or take off on one engine. The RAF stopped single engine practice landings due to more accidents being caused by practising for something that might happen. RAF practice if an engine failed on take off was to cut power to the good engine and stop. If it wasn't possible to stop due to flying speed almost being reached standard procedure was to pull the undercarriage up and belly in. Now I haven't just picked this one out of the air as it were I read quite a bit about the Mosquito after the accident, Flypast Magazine covered the aftermath of the accident and provided details of the air accident investigation report which completely exonerated the pilot. Flypast Magazine & Aircraft Enthusiast subsequently had a series of articles about the Mosquito its flying characteristics with a special mention to single engine performance which caught out even very experienced Mosquito pilots which usually killed the pilot and the navigator as in the accident at Barton. Without going looking at that kind of crap on you tube I can still remember watching the Mosquito slowing down on its wing over and remarking to Janine I think its going to crash but hoping they would pull up all the same.... bloody shame for all concerned.

Chris the MK 4 Ferret was for sale on e-bay a few years back. A lot off the important bits for the MK 4 seem to be missing. http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/other%20variants.htm Andy

Good old fashioned Singer Sowing machine should do the job so the old dear says! Given that I know nothing about sowing and the od does I can only agree Andy

Hi All I'm about to fit my Clansman radios into my Ferret I'd like to make sure that they work but I don't want send. Just switching them on doesn’t prove that they are fully functional (I know that sounds daft) but with Clansman radios costing anything up to £500 for just the VRC353 / PRC351/2 hopefully I’ll be forgiven for asking such a daft question. I already have most of the boxes to fit the system in the vehicle just not the radios. I realise that there are rules governing this (link below to previous message on subject) http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=6628&highlight=clansman Andy
