spag bol always good or how about corned beef hash?

just watched parts 3 and 4 ,absolutely brilliant

I am under the belief that there was more costal defense's and weapon instilations on the channel islands than the french coast.

 

You are right Tony the guns where a right mix and match of all varieties and places of origin, the story i have heard about the mirus guns where they where captured then stored in Norway, where they lay forgotten, until an officer remembered them, it was from then they where overhauled and down rated in the explosive charge that could be placed in them.

I think you will find that there was a larger concentration of guns in the Channel Islands than any other part of the Atlantik wall not just France just proves Hitlers obsession with this small part of the British Isles

and lets face it theres a good selection of lunatics around here

absolutely fantastic ,I just watched the first 2 and look forward to the rest later,makes me want to go to the tower now

one for the school holidays I think

I recognized the sexton and will blame calling the ram a sherman on crap eyesight or mot being able to tell the difference in a computer picture

I think you are probably right ,there cant be too many on such a small island,good to know it is being looked after

I think back them it was the royal corps of signals and was shortened to royal signals around 43/44 time

Same campsite - but Adrian S has something up he sleeve.

not water

several years ago I was in Guernsey for a weekend break and remember seeing an apparently abandoned humber pig in a hotel car park ,does it belong to anyone on here?

I think 1 tank would be enough for most on here,except Eddy

I just called 118 118 but they cant find a number

is the sherman in the background your next project?

is the plan to be at the same campsite?

Ive put a post on the wd motorcycle forum requesting DRs ,I guess we could use a few more this time,particularly if the rumours about Mons are true

Guernsey had 2 x command version

12 x normal

5 x flame-throwers

 

Jersey had 12 x normal

5 x flame-throwers

plus various renault ft 17s delivered earlier

all back to normal now

try searching for the minature armoured fighting vehicle association,they have quite a detailed listing of colours ,but only some have BS numbers

good to see things are moving on and it has not ended up on the scrap heap

Also on the CIOS and http://www.thisisjersey.co.uk/hmd/ The guns themselsves were painted as well.

whereabouts was the second picture taken ?cant place it

sorry to hear your sad news Tony,I saw the ambulance at a show in coronation park a few years back fully kitted out in the back and a very impressivev sight it was ,I am sure that you will look after her in the way her owner would appreciate

Nigel

talking about the camo painting at Noirmont ,there are some great pics of the fake granite painted on the searchlight bunker at Corbiere ,I think they are on the axis history forum under the fortifications heading

any news on the bowsers recovery yet?

Hi Stephen,

. I need my flywheel doing too sometime I think as I can't get mine to fire.

no thats just because you are too weak to kick it over

cobbaton combat collection is well worth seeing,a quick google should give you an address
