Just found this from a link on another forum with similar interests. Worth a look, its the Russian Tank Museum. Reminds me of Bovvy in the early days! Some fantastic vehicles, especially the assault guns, and a backyard that I would kill for a rummage in! Check out the relic hunting section, it'll keep you occupied for a while. (Very slow site though!) http://tankmuseum.ru/index_e.html

How do you get to see these?

Whereabouts was RAF Bovingdon at Hemel? I wasnt aware there was one?

I would have thought the original would have been kept in some government vault! Apparently he has Eva Brauns see through nightie as well!

Great post. I only recognise a Citroen from there. What are the other vehicles? Any way you can post some stills off of there to identify them? What is the vehicle with the 2 wheels sticking out the front? :schocked:

Very funny..Hohoho!(a tiny hint of sarcasm there!)

Private Pickfords was wondering what he would do after the war.... (Thanks N.O.S.!)

See the rust you get on those "foreign" vehicles.....terrible.... :roll:

Wash your mouth out! Theres a C8 which could accomodate many babyseats! (Not that theres going to be any more, not on my watch anyway!)

Brakes are all plumbed in and work a treat, but weve got a fluid leak at the master cylinder, looks like we may need a new one, or at the very least this one rebored. If anyone has a spare please get in touch. Apart from that it is running fine, smoky start ups havegone and it is driving in and out of the workshop and even managed a trip round our car park! Video to follow.

Our thoughts are with you and youre family especially as Ive got another due out in about 6 weeks. Best wishes.

And a happy New(coming) new year! :-)

Who....? :whistle:

I have been a member of this place for well over a year and found some very good friends on here. I may not know who they are face to face, but as said, you get to know people. I spend a lot of time here helping where I can, as well as receiving help. I like the general chat, MV or not, looking at peoples pics etc,etc. Politics is bound to creep in somewhere no matter how hard you try especially when something is geting " big ", and having been involved in various committees of one sort or another is something I would rather avoid, so I do!! I think this is a great forum, with some great people, who hopefully I may get to meet someday face to face! And yes if youve got anything to say, say it in the open, thats what forums are for, a place of discussion, as long as its not turned into a slanging match, which doesnt do our hobby any favours. PS I think the mods of this and any other related site have their work cut out! Lets have a rust free New Year..... ;-)

The reasoning behind this is the amount of aircraft pieces being bougt up by divers, and moreimportantly the risk of sites at sea by increased dredging. ;-)

A preliminary study by Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by English Heritage to look at aircraft crash sites. They are looking for individuals or organisations with any specialist knowledge about sites or losses at sea to offer information. They also have a project blog. http://blogs.wessexarch.co.uk/aircraftcrashsitesatsea.co.uk

No I dont know where they are, but an interesting marking on the Bedfords wing- any ideas?

Nice article by our very own Simon Delaney on a Morris CS8 in there too.

Dont suppose youve got any more photos of that Marty?

Im not sure what the top one is either. Its a b****y big mortar/cannon looks like its being towed by an insane incarnation of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
