    Just be careful using containers originally intended for food and drink. You may know the difference, but .... I bought 1 litre empty paint tins from eBay to achieve the same aim. Andy

    That Abbot looks suspiciously like the one that's now at Woolwich? Andy

    That's why your headphones go over the top! :-) Andy

    Nice one - not much clearance over the top of the turret! Andy

    Perhaps they could move all the vehicles to Ludgershall. There's been a nice empty site there for years! :-) Andy

    I'm surprised that no-one has yet mentioned the VCR Act. Surely that's one of the main drivers behind the increase in the price of de-acts? Andy

    Ah - I was thinking more of an airborne transmitter than a land-based one. Andy

    There's obviously something overhead that the thingy receives infra-red messages from. A helicopter with matching transmitter? Andy

    A means of covertly transmitting orders to troops in the jungle? Andy

    So some sort of signalling device used above tree cover, presumably in the jungle? Andy

    Easier than a carnation and copy of The Times! :-) Andy

    An early mine detector? (Clive, I just love the names you give your photos!) :shocked: Andy

    My Gilbern Invader ... Andy

    Ditto. I also have a Ring Smartcharge 16 but the Pulsetech chargers are in a class of their own. Mind you, at the price they should be! Andy

    Something to do with lubrication, perhaps? Andy

    The difference between the black and green pressels is that the green ones have an extra core to pass power to the headset. So if you have ANR boxes and headsets, you MUST use green pressels. Andy

    Take a look at the radiator. If it's on the top of the pack it's a 432, if it's on the end it's a 433. :-) I'd make a guess that you're not in the UK? Andy

    I take it you've got, or are about to buy an Abbot? The wheels and tracks are identical, as is the steering box. The final drives are the same as the 434, which has a lower ratio than the 432. The engine and gearbox are essentially the same as a 432 but the pack is completely different, being longer and lower than a 432 pack. The radiator and heat exchanger are special to the Abbot, as are a myriad of minor parts. Yes, you can put a 432 engine and box into an Abbot pack (I've just done exactly that) but it isn't a simple job! Andy

    Correct, around 55A if I recall correctly. Note that there is also a later type of BV in circulation, which is now sufficiently technically advanced to have a thing called a "switch"! :-) Andy

    Methinks you've run out of Photobucket bandwidth! Andy
  21. andym
    You can pull the auction as the vehicle is no longer as described! Andy
  22. andym
    That's what bowlines are for! Andy
  23. andym
    It's in one of the supplements at the back of the FV432 User Manual, I think. Andy

    I'm not sure it helps, but if the dot was black instead of red it would be I in the international flag alphabet. Andy
  25. andym
    I'd have come and said hello if I'd known! Andy
