    We visited Tyneham yesterday on a road run from Hamans Cross via Corfe Castle and the Range Road. Well worth a visit £2 sugested donation for the car park (plenty of space) Public Toilets and a good view of the Ranges above you.

     

     

    The picture is taken by myself out the back of a Landrover 109FFR whilst passing Corfe Castle.

    Last week I watched 'South Today' on BBC about an Air Raid shelter being restored near Bournemouth. Some Jeeps, GMCs and Motorcyces were there - anyone here own any of the vehicles?

     

    This was the Dorset MVT visiting a local school with an Air Raid shelter being restored.

    John Ilot owns the GMC they also a Dorset Home guard van and a couple of Jeeps in attendance I believe.

    Only ever come closed to doing that when reversing with the sankey attached to get the second half of the "drive over" ...as for the Salisbury one ...

    Not one of mine i am afraid .

     

    Time for a camera upgrade as this one is a tape based one and loses quality when converted to youtube...

    Soon as i win the lottery i'll be replacing it with a fully digital one lol.

     

    To be honest i am surprised that more folks don't chuck together a bit of video when they are out driving their vehicles ....as i really enjoy the filming/editing etc as i do the actual driving

     

    Im thinking of getting the Cam Corder out this year for a few events will post them up when I do!

     

    Cheers

    This sounds fantastic just adding additional Aircraft will attract a lot of enthusiasts I will post on a few Aircraft Websites once you have some firm details I'm sure the Museum will do well from this.

     

    Do you think the we could get the Army Historic Flight Airborne at all would add great Interest?

    Hello Steve, funny you should ask about your display. Phill and myself were walking around the area talking about you and looking at asking you if you would be up for a display. All I can say chap, bring anything you can, you are more than welcome. Please feel free to put the word out mate if you think some of them would be up for a day out.....

    Tony.

     

    It nice to be thought off, I will see the others Tuesday will have a chat and see what we can come up with! Im sure we can bring a few bits and pieces to display no problem.

    I assume you'll have already offered it to the IWM at DX?

    Are there any 'conditions' around who can apply to take it off your hands; eg; must be registered museum or organisation, etc.....

     

     

    We have not offered it to any one as yet I dont think we have any restrictions but would like it to go to sombody that wil restore it.

     

    We have one potential person intersted in taking it to Rougham Airfield but nothing confirmed yet still available.
