Hi Guys

Looking for some info on Retrievers

Doe's anyone have anything that relates to WD numbers this one is possibly L891447

this ones not been cut to a 4x2 its just missing a rear brake drum :argh:

Where do you find the chassis number and how do you work out the age of them

Thanks

Dave:wave:

This one "Spring Chicken" is the first of i believe three to be built. Peter Jackson has been rumoured to have been building up to a WW1 movie for more than a few years now

Dave:wave:

P.S. His next "Good" movie should be the Dambusters remake

Another couple to add to the mix

Dave

Now to make things difficult apparently this is a Jahn trailer as well

Dave

This would have to be a rare pair to have together

Dave

EV1003 is the one retained by the Army

EV893 was the Watkins owned machine

Dave

you don't know where the three you've seen are now do you?

The New Zealand army retains one i believe Watkins Housemovers in the Hawkes Bay has one and the third was broken up for spares (I have the makers plate from the back of the cab)

Dave

Factory shot ?? two of New Zealands four (Ive only ever seen three)

This one may even be yours Kevin

Picked these up a while ago

Dave

And two more

Dave

Heres one in NZ service

Dave

Hi Guys

Thanks for the replies my reasons for looking for 617 Sqn markings is that (Fingers crossed) they may be looking for extras for the Dambusters remake and if my MW`s wearing the right clothes it could make things easier

My MW is a 1944 Water Cart that has been rebodied as a GS but is ex RAF (11553711) ex RNZAF and NZ Army

Thanks

Dave

Hi Guys

I`m on the lookout for RAF vehicle markings for my MW Bedford

Would anyone out there have a photo showing the rear of an MW just so i can see how the markings are laid out (Roundel etc) also any details specific to 617 Sqn :cool2:

Need dimensions for the Roundel as well please

Thanks

Dave

Hi Guys

My name is Dave and i`ve been collecting Vehicles and equipment since 1977 :nut: and have had a range of Vehicles over that time currently i have a Ford GPW,Bedford MW and a 3"Mortar Carrier(T80030)

in time i also have a Ford F15A,Triumph 3HW and a NZ Pattern Wheeled Carrier that need to be done :wow:
