Wanted - Trend 600 series teleprinter documentation
andym replied to g0ozs's topic in British Radio Equipment
For reference, I extracted the entire set of AESPs for the FV430 family by an FoI request. Andy -
It wasn't actually the Tardis, but a base in the North Pole. Anything else would be a real spoiler ... Andy
-
:-) Andy

Amazing how good the brain's pattern recognition is - that must have been on screen for what, half a second? Andy
-
I'd hate to be considered an MV anorak, but did anyone else catch the Clansman CBF (ANR) masquerading as a door control switch in the Doctor Who Christmas Special? Andy
-
Is that the Trackfix Chieftain, out of interest? Andy

question Brit Mv fire extinguisher brackets, what is the difference?
andym replied to robin craig's topic in British Vehicles
As a demonstration of an alternative point of view, I'd agree with being historically accurate except where safety trumps accuracy. I'd personally rather have a later extinguisher that works than an older one that doesn't. I'm not saying that anyone is right or wrong, each to his own! Andy -
The xmod have some of the smaller parts such as the bezel clamps but yes, eBay is usually a good source of complete units. Andy
-
A magazine or armoury of some kind? Andy
-
How about a 2S7 Pion SPG? (only because I'd really like one myself ... ) Andy
-
DEF-STAN 80-9/1 is what's wanted - thanks to Clive for letting me buy the tins lurking at the back of his workshop! Andy
-
Agreed - here's what the paint looks like when just applied. It's very, very shiny. It will dull down with time as it oxidises and yes, if you touch it your fingers (and clothes!) come away with a slight sheen on them. Andy

Two of the big (Oshkosh?) tank transporters heading Westbound on the M27 around 0900 this morning, empty. They were wearing civilian number plates - how does that work? Andy
-
Faulty capacitor or coil, perhaps? Andy
-
Excellent idea! Andy

introduction And now another wingnut....
andym replied to abacus's topic in Introductions & Welcomes
Welcome aboard - whereabouts are you? Andy -
Indeed - you wouldn't want to get involved with this sort of thing .... :nut: Andy

I have a friend who drives a 432 on 60 mile round trips but it's taking its toll on the tracks. The issue with driving these vehicles for long distances is that they cost a fortune in fuel (typically 3 or 4 mpg) and will eventually break, leaving you with a recovery problem and associated bill. If you want to do a lot of long distance mileage you might find it makes economic sense to buy a trailer, and that may well dictate the sort of AFV you can put on it. Andy
-
What do you mean by "long distances"? I'd suggest that no AFV is suitable for really long distance driving, either tracked or wheeled. Andy
-
Oh go on then - andym! Andy
-
Makes you wonder about the business viability of this ... :shocked: Andy
-
Isn't there a pukka adjustment gauge as per the FV430s? Andy
-
Bovvy or the REME museum at Arborfield would both be good places to look for the drawings. Andy
-
Welcome aboard - you could do worse than have a chat with Heywood Tanks to see if they need a helping hand? Andy
-
... and unfortunately uses Flash so a lot of platforms won't play it. Not clever! Andy
