ford 369

might be worth trying Rush Green Motors in Codicote Herts they had 1 or 2 antars and may have spares

Nigel

You're wrong!

 

I did have Payed for Macfee installed and the virus deliberately attacked that before attacking the windows program

 

Avast home addition is free and is s++t hot. It cleaned my infected comp and got it working perfect again. It also warns you when you may be going on to a site which is known to have malware and the like. I use my comp for P2P file sharing and we know how many virus's lurk on them things and i've never had one virus come through. You can also do a boot scan with it. I recommend it.

 

PS i work in no way for Advast even tho that does look like a Sales Pitch :-D

I used to use Avasthome edition for free and always found it ok,but since buying a new pc that came preloaded with Norton that seems ok too

Nigel

if the snow is melting as quick up there as it is down here tuesday maybe a bit late

whoops just read the other thread and see it is Grangers not Johnsons

If using syntetic paint idea, will it make the canvas a bit stiff and does it crack and peel off?

If using fence stuff, will it not stink?

Any chance of a link to the thread about the B&Q fence stuff idea please?

 

Cheers

I have replied to your pm after searching the other forum for the thread but also have found the product that both proofs and colours canvas ,it is called fabsil and I think is made by a company called Johnsons

hope this of some help

Nigel

sorry to hear your bad news Neil,but if it is any help my mum was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago but as long as she is sensible about following her diet it seems to have very little effect on her

Nigel

bring on the rain ,at least it washes the snow away and I can get my bike out

Nigel

could afield just outside town be used to park up all the non armoured vehicles allowing the armour access to town but also allowing all attending to travel in one convoy thus saving the organisation of 2 seperate convoys on 2 days?

Nigel

this very question was asked some time ago on a ww2 reenacting forum and the general concensus was to use water based fence treatment from B&Q ,this comes in a variety of colours ,is cheap and can be sprayed with a cheap garden sprayer

Nigel

I guess that means mine will be on the newsagents shelf tomorrow,It is the 3rd friday for cmv isnt it?

and I am a long wat futher back and to the left by the bell tent wearing a denisson smock and crash helmet

Nigel

Where were you based Stefano ?

Nigel,

 

I know that Austins carried on in service right into the 1950's with the army. More than likely the Morris Tillies were disposed of, after the war, and / or passed on to other countries as military aid.

this would make sense and perhaps the fact that morris survived as a company longer than at leaststandard gives a false impression of the size of the company.

Out of interest do you know which countries would have recieved the tillys after the war?

yes but i'd imagine that the authorities would make money on the sale of 2 vehicles they have never maintained

as opposed to spending money on vehicles they have to

this is a good point but remember a major source of revenue for Normandy is battlefield tourism so unless they have something else to place at the memorial then surely this is not the best forward planning ,also remember this is a memorial to thier own troops

Nigel

Yes excellent, I had a couple of friends involved on M20's, brilliant sight and sound.

had to be seen to be appreciated,there is some good video on you tube

Nigel

Nigel,

 

Morris is probably the rarest of them all. In numbers, I would say highest is Austin, then Hillman, Standard and Morris. Our new member Mike will be able to give a good estimate from the Tilly Register records though.

thanks for that Richard ,I am surprised about Morris being so rare I really would have expected there to be more of them than Hillman or Standard as I assumed they were a bigger company

Nigel

it seems quite ironic that these 2 vehicles are going to be restored in France by an obviously dedicated enthusiast yet the French authorities can allow 2 similar vehicles plus an m8 armoured car on the Le Clerc memorial on Utah Beach to fall into disrepair and crumble to dust due to a lack of a simple coat of paint

Nigel

past parts have got a good name among classic car restorers and as far as I can remember I have never heard any complaints about thier work,

Nigel

does anyone on here kinow how many tillys are left and how the numbers breakdown between the different manufacturers? I assume morris and austin are more common than standard or hillman

Nigel

good luck with a very worthwhile project,where has it been all these years?

Nigel

what a beaut ,havent had time to read the whole thread yet but that is some find

ps does Jack know you are being unfaithful and carrying on with another forum???

Nigel

and possibly another at Duxford

I am pretty sure there is one in the RAF museum at Hendon if this is of any help

Nigel

welcome Rob ,when you say german bikes do you mean military or civvy ones?

wasnt the Bastogne walk featured in the mail on sunday last year as well?

Nigel

you say you aim to have it finished for may,is this for a particular event or a personal target?
