Because of its proximity to Stranraer and number of empty aircraft hangars, West Freugh has been (and still is) used as a depot for NI vehicles that MOD don't want to put on the ferry. It's quite possible than when it was in "Northern Ireland" it actually sat in a hangar at West Freugh! http://www.ltpa.co.uk/site_range/west_freugh/index.asp Andy

The 1995 entry is what was Test and Evaluation Establishment (now QinetiQ) West Freugh if that helps? Andy

question Clansman Installation in a Saracen APC
andym replied to Starfire's topic in British Radio Equipment
Hopefully any ignition noise should be overcome by a few suppressor capacitors. Your design seems sound, have you seen this document? http://www.ferret-afv.org/manuals/clansman_wiring_harness_and_control_boxes_description.pdf Andy -
Unfortunately I only took one, I was too busy talking to people! Andy

Unfortunately I can't help with that, I've only got experience of the Mk.2s, which have an electronic rev counter, Andy -

Do you really mean the speedo cable? I wouldn't expect it to turn with the engine running, the vehicle needs to move for that! Andy -
A trifle muddy but good fun nevertheless. Don't let the weather put anyone off. Good to meet you again, Rosie! :-) Andy
-
That's not mine, mine's still in bits! It was just the first photo I found that showed the funnel in place. Andy

Seen here on the turret of a Abbot, between the smoke grenade launcher and the saddlebag: Andy

It's sunny now, go while the going's good! :-) Andy

An ambulance at a wedding is disturbing! :-) Andy

S758 is what MOD actually specify. Andy

What possible reason would anyone have for burying them? Andy

question Armoured Vehicle Image Intensifier Periscope - L4A1
andym replied to Scoper77's topic in Research Centre
I think you'll find that the power connector is the same as that used for penthouse lights. Usually plentiful on eBay! Andy -
They're in Kent, for anyone else who's wondering ... Andy
-
That damage is typical of misuse when adjusting the gap, the central electrode doesn't usually take kindly to bending. Andy
-
It's failed and tracked to earth? Andy

Some tips for the Trakmark: Buy a heat gun Cut some decent sized pieces from the roll and re-roll them in the opposite direction until you need them Continue the Trakmark round the back of the foam so it won't unstick like the original Andy
-
Yes, that's new Trakmark over new foam. Re-trimming the driver's compartment was a very tedious exercise, but the end result makes it well worth the effort. Andy

This is what the completed upper division plate should look like, I just put mine back together over the weekend. I think Carwood were less than £200 for the re-con last time I used them - I'll send you a PM. Andy
-
Looking forward to it once again! Andy

I've been using Pulsetechs for three years now without a hint of a problem. One charger has been left switched on for months at a time. Andy
-
Because they like a controlled charge in terms of voltage or current, and a non-intelligent charger won't provide that. This is what it says on the side of the battery: Hawker tell me that virtually all "faulty" batteries they've received have been damaged by incorrect charging. Andy
-
Don't use it on something like a Hawker though, you'll knacker the battery. Andy
-
If you're missing the upper Division Plate then you don't have a hand throttle either? Andy
