When will the pics be posted mick? Want to see more!

Did you know about this movie in advance or was this just your lucky day?

Brilliant story and photo's!

I've visited Normandy about 2 years ago near Arromanches but didn't get beyond Pointe du Hoc. So much to see there that you can spent weeks there and wouldn't see the same thing twice. Next year I'm going back again, now I'm absolutely sure.

Welcome aboard! I own an ex norwegian Dodge WC51 so I should thank you for maintaining it so well

Good to hear you came out okay!

Nice photo's!!

Darn that I didn't know it! It would have been great to meet you.. Perhaps next time?

I missed the visitors day, spent the day with the g/f which was a well spent day although I probably missed a lot of fun.

Here are the promised photos:

Yup it ran perfectly I had a wonderfull, wonderfull day! When I think back to it I immediately get a smile on my face

It was a liberation tour, we drove around the battlefields where the 101st airborne and the 43rd Wessex fought in the aftermath of operation Market Garden.

The marking is stamped on the box, I'll take some photo's tonight and will post them here. Thanks for the info so far!

My g/f grandpa who died recently had an old ammunition box on his attic which I now have. It's all metal and got a triangel on it and the markings C 238 1 1941 on it. Grandpa most probably found it on his land, he lived in Veghel and there was some firece fighting going on there during operation Market Garden.

Could this box be used in WWII and if so, what would have been in it?

This is what the box looks like:

We had our share of rain but the sun showed itself every now and then which made it bearable. The wind however was appaling but it was all worth it, had the best day I could imagine!

Here is a selection of the photo's:

Yesterday and last week I had two meetings where I drove the dodge, photo's can be found here:

Best of all, the Dodge did not broke down :lol:

Looks stunning! Yesterday I saw a workshop GMC and man it was HUGE, your's is even longer :shock:

Indeed, too bad we missed eachother.

Yesterday I took the Dodge for a drive and suddenly the headlights were working again. Not entirely the way they should, the left was very dim but the right was working perfectly. Very od...

Last weekend I was in the ardennes and in Spa I saw an old Willys jeep in a new function, towing a large trailer with tourists! They look a lot better in green if you ask me..

Some other interesting photo's:

Tiger II at La Gleize:

Halftrack in Stavelot:

Notice the interesting markings:

Memorial for citizens of Stavelot who were murderded by a German SS division for no reason at all:

Amazing what you did with it, it looks brilliant!

Absolutely stunning truck! Well worth all the effort if you ask me.

I don't have kids yet but my g/f wants nothing to do with it....

Seems like you've had a busy weekend! I was in the ardennes so did nothing on my Dodge.

Btw, what's that tracked vehicle on the left side of your trailer?

Wow, it's been a busy weekend for you!

Yesterday (Sunday 19 March), the Military Section of the Veteran Car Club in West Australia, took part in the annual Classic Car Show in Perth.

 

Attached are a selection of photos showing a few of the vehicles on display.

Nice photo's! What's darth vader doing behind that brengun carrier?

The photo's I took were of the brake light assembly, so I rather misjudged that. Now I'm going to mail the former owner, see if he still remembers..
