After having seen the finished product in this months CMV, I would just like to say it is good to see that its resto has been completed. However, after having read the article I was left feeling a bit peeved as "Steve" claimed all he had to start with was the engine and chassis. He seems to have forgotten the few hundred quid I spent on getting the engine covers made, the other few hundred on getting the front wings professionally made, not to mention the work that went into the cab, the re-wiring, the brakes overhauled etc. I could go on. Anyway, rant over... :iamsmiling: (Oh and the credit for one of MY photos!)

Frosts do a very good kit for cleaning and sealing fuel tanks.

Congratulations, or should that be, "Fire in the Hold!":-)

Indeed! Looks like it may be a future TV prog.

Perfectly preserved Spitfire remains along with a working Browning! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15652440

I think you will find that Kuno (?) has already covered these on MLU forum and written a book about the LRDG wrecks.

I just noticed tonight the events calendar only goes up to December 2011. Any chance of adding 2012?

They are having problems at the mo.

Whats happened to Antar Mike?

Operation Jericho on BBC2 6.40 Bletchley Park Lost Heroes BBC2 8.40 The Last Heroes Channel 4 7.45 Alll repeated but all worth watching. Thats your Saturday nights entertainment!

Dunkeswell Airfield.

Yes but after having lost the tender to host the British Grand Prix at Donnington I imagine things are a bit tight nowadays!

Yeah, but you trying getting two kids under 10 out of bed, dressed and ready for school in the morning!

My eldest Ellie was learning about poachers killing Tigers for their skin at school the other day. She told me how "The vouchers kill Tigers for their skins". My youngest Dan(3) was doing some drawing with me the other day and said "Daddy Im getting a bit infused" instead of confused!

Got a jeep sidestep mount for a 30.

Very good!:-D

Hi Jack, I know you havent got room for us in the convoy for A+E come the new year , but me and the family would like to come down. From what I know you are going through Maiden Newton VAW and ending up at Dorchester and there has been some talk of having some jeeps buzzing around during the day, especially at Dorchester, from reading other forums. I don t want to tread on any feet, but wondered if there is any way for those of us not being able to take part to add to anything or take part on the periphary? If you know what I mean.

I think I started a thread on this many moons ago, you will have to look for it though!

Cant find the jeeps...:embarrassed:

Any ideas on the asking price?

Fair enough, I understand. If not with the jeep will be there as an observer!

I like....

Can we come with the jeep?

If it has been standing then it could be that the brake bands need working to free them off, I reckon that if he started and drove it round his yard every day everything would start loosening up in the transmission.

Thunder?
