If that is the case... how does this company sell armoured vehicles?

https://www.panzer-handel.de/

Presumably nothing they sell is covered by the scope of the law?

Glad we aren't chasing the same bits!!! 

Yep... stick to the Centaur stuff please!

Any Firefly Gun parts are of interest.

Top of the list is a breech block.

I have looked again at the online booking form, am I missing what you are say because,

If book my 1st vehicle its £35 FOR 2 adults passes and 2 nippers

I then bring a 2nd vehicle, NO CHARGE but have to pay £30 pounds each for the driver and passenger total £60

Am I not reading something or am I stupid, or have you not understood the booking system.

 

From the booking form...

• A £35 facility fee is payable for each military vehicle entry. Each vehicle entry entitles you to two adult passes

• Extra passes above the 2 adults are available @ £30 per adult, Children are free with an adult (0-15 inclusive).

• Support vehicles – There will be a fee of £30* for anyone bringing a support vehicle and these will be parked in the designated on-site parking area.

So, I read that as £35 per MV entered - which includes 2 x adult passes, with Children under 16 free... and £30 per support vehicle, with £30 per additional adult not on the MV entry.

Hmm... I wonder if that would fit on the coax mount on the Firefly!

There are some documents which link the T number with the vehicle serial number... but you'll be damn lucky to find one with the serial number you have... stuff like vehicle inspection reports and vehicle log books.

The Canadian archives are quite good for vehicle documents - maybe you will be lucky there - if it has known Canadian history of course.

Whatever you stick on top... make sure it is suitably covered when out on the road - or better still not mounted. Don't want to scare the hell out of some member of the public... the last thing any of us need is a new set of regulations concerning what we can or cannot do with our kit.

So what tank is it you have?

Surely you just need to spread a load of towels out to claim your patch ;-)

Wow... lovely to see in such untouched condition... hope it goes to a good home and not someone hell-bent on a complete rebuild which will lose the originality.

This one too... WS18 Mk1 I think given the battery plug cover on the side under the aerial mount.

Just did a quick search on google for "Radio operator Walcheren" - which produced this pic - not the one I was thinking of - but similar... hope this helps... note top of WS18 radio.

Spotted these this morning whilst looking for something else. 

Advertised as NOS No19 set rubber microphone mouthpieces, box of 3, £10 BIN, postage free. The part number shown is YI ZA 12354. There are a few boxes available.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-SET-Microphone-Mouthpiece-Rubbers-3-PCS-in-Original-Sealed-Box-New-Old-stock/153031252241

There are also a couple of right angled 19 set rubber mouthpieces for sale at £10 for the pair. Not sure what the application was but may be in a vehicle borne set

The seller also has a Larkspur headset, Larkspur microphone, Larkspur interconnection box, various radio valves, crystals and other components mostly NOS. The spare parts may be of use to anybody trying to breath a spark of life back into an old radio set.

Usual disclaimer - no connection to seller, just passing on information

IIRC, the right angled mouth-pieces are more correct for WW2 period... certainly were found on the microphone for the WS11 and WS18 in period photos.

I have had these in original paint and Brown over the years - might have a pic still - will have a rummage.

mmmm..... nice!

Definitely 75mm Pack Howitzer case.

sorry tim, not for sale took years to find and 2 years talking to the owner

 

I have enough projects at the moment... consider me if you ever change your mind.

Cheers

If it were me... I'd have moved the wall to the other end of their garage.

Nice find.

Might be tempted if you plan to part with it.

It looks cosy and moderately practical.

Tim

Ok. No probs. Am sure it will do the job just fine.

Do you have a better photo of the Microphone in this set up please.

Would be useful to know before I go rummaging for the one I have which may be what you need.

Tim

Pretty sure I have the hand microphone for that tannoy setup.
