Well, after exploring some defences in Dover, i went back to my trusty little car and some little blighters had got in it and left pages of porn in the glove-box. Bastards.

Yes Mark , you are quite correct, take a left at the roundabout and up the hill. Oops, just saw Richard's post above!

Excellent pics, bit close there!!!

Whats the best footwear - boots or trainers or ???

 

Sorry folks, TunnelRat shoiuld have already mentioned that a good pair of sturdy boots are advisable... :whistle:

That looks the business Mark.

Sorry TR.

 

On a serious note, is there any kit that we need to bring??

 

A sense of humour, as you will need it at times!!!

OI OI, will you bloody herberts please keep on topic here, enough of the gay banter, FFS :whistle:

Male bonding , some call it!

Yes we need to keep a good eye on the Reo being that its POST WAR, its ashame we wasn't in a Jimmy because it would defiantly still be there when we went back. :-D

 

If your looking to drive your own way around, keep it up :-D pmsl ;-) You'll miss out on the 3pm cuppa!!

It has two seats, one at the front and one at the rear and has maybe a 4 ft track section either side with a motorcycle front wheel?? guessing now, but a fab little machine, none the less, shame it was Axis...

Is he a member here??? as i have some footage of him do a sterling job towing in land-rovers towing carvavan's as was quite muddy!? heheh.

MARK.............................me mam gave it me :dunno:

 

Haha,simple, yet very effective!

Hmm, well, commonly know as Tunnellad, basically didn't have a clue what to name meself back then, so thought well i enjoy tunnels and I'm a lad, so went well together!!

ON hmvf, Tunnel Rat came to mind as I'm also very intrested in the tunnel warfare of the Vietnam conflict, so thought it would serve me well,.

Even though the Tunnel rats were both American and Australian divisions and nothing to do with the u.k, I have a huge amount of respect for their efforts against the Viet Cong in the types of close combat warfare they undertook within these confined networks of tunnels, in both the north and the south of the country. my tuppence.

I WILL PROBABLY BE WITH THE TRUCK AT ALL TIMES OR SOMEONE WILL BE

 

Yep , that is something that I've been also thinking about, I'm sure we can sort something out, I will do one shift, as a couple of DLS's are explored, (deep-level shelters), as Sir Paul can lead you towards them, ill hang back and have an instant white tea out of me rations :-) We can't have any sarnies stolen!!
