Yes its good, good to see some axis vehicles in there too. Maybe a couplw of WW1 vehicles for next time. Pic of my Champ in the mag next to the Green Goddess. First time one of my MVs been in a mag, good pic too!

I was told about this shed that had a couple of Leyland Hippo's in it. They werent for sale either. But imagine my surprise when I got there...

Yeah, very good!:rofl::rofl::rofl:

:police: Entertaining though!

A huge amount of WW2 related books from these people. http://www.worldwartwobooks.com/

In newest member stats, some people have a line through their name. Why is that?

The French version. http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/Region/actualite/Secteur_Region/2009/11/22/article_a-beaucamps-ligny-un-chantier-dans-un-ch.shtml

No DUKW's for sale then!:-D

We know the names of a detachment that was lost in that area, so there are about 30 or so names to choose from. From the Fromelles DNA analysis results, identity should not be too much of a problem.

:-D I dare not!

15 Tommies from the Lancs regiment have been discovered ahead of building work in France http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hzSV7uWZbdS5N3SY7pQQT4_mXEjg

I asked for interior shots of that and the bloke said I would have to go and look at them. Too far to go for what may need a lot of work.

I always look at the jeep prices and have come to the conclusion that the prices have stabilised. Or at the very least are not going up because of people sourcing jeeps from the US.

Surely they would be worth that for the spares?

Seeking any info or photos relating to the Hautmont mixed cemetery in Flanders. Pics, infos and photos. Believe there may be a photo in After The Battle issue 115. If anyone can scan me it or have a look to see if it relates to WW1 I would be grateful.

As posted on the Militarch website. A selection of images from The Aerial Reconnaissance Archives (TARA) now held at the Royal Comission of Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland has been published today in the Daily Mail. A great selection of high quality images, slightly let down by a couple of factual errors in the text. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1230025/Google-Earth-Second-World-War-Amazing-aerial-images-taken-daring-Allies-revealed-Hitlers-weapons.html?ITO=1490 TARA is on ongoing project, and links to google maps showing which sorties and images have been scanned and catalogued so far are available from http://aerial.rcahms.gov.uk/worldwide/ I havent tried it yet so dont know if the links work.:coffee:

Good link, thanks.

Marcel, looks like a fantastic project. Im sure the flywheel etc wont be a problem.

Good buy! Do tell how you came across it. Has it got any military identity?

2 Very recommended websites www.mercantilemarine.org and www.uboat.net Very good forums

Africa? Asia?

I was thinking about using them on fairy cakes instead of chocolate drops.:coffee:

We have a problem with moles. We cant get rid of the b*****s. It doesnt matter how many chemicals or explosives we use they keep on coming up. Ive told Mrs W to change her soap to no avail, they occur most on the inner thigh area. Any ideas?

Nice resto, Ive seen Tobins and he has done a superb job. Hopefully he will sell it to me oneday!

Can anyone shed any light on the service record of a seaman. Samuel James Bowen. Served aboard HMS Versatile. KIA 23/11/1943. Memorial in Chatham. Or the actions which led to his demise. Recipient of North Atlantic Star.
