They decided it would be easier to find the gun elavation locking pin after all, apart from anything it would look more "professional" on the battlefield...

Apologies for small pic, if someone can resize I would be grateful, not a clue what is going on here. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/rik242_2006/936668559_0b9ef40d93_m.jpg[/img]

Got a german plate onit, I wonder if it was post 1945, although that still wouldnt explain it. Captured in North Africa maybe?

That particular one in Richards picture definitely has a round solid wheel, must be for ploughing.

Dont take any chances... :shake: http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/rik242_2006/gasmasks.jpg[/img]

Happy xmas to all! ;-) Had the "ManFlu" as well, so have we all, can sympathise, its a stinker. Take the time to put yer feet up!

I think you are right Richard, it definitely has roots in agriculture and traction engines and such.

How would Kriegsmarine get hold of a jeep?

Good post Tony. Even better as it links with Jackson, wish I could have seen it.

Two fat ladies - 88 Bingo reference but the name 2 fat ladies given to Flak 88's which usually operated in pairs, true or false? I dont know...

Killen Strait, new thread in Brit vehicles!

A bit of info about this odd machine... http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/rik242_2006/killenstrait.jpg[/img] It was called the Killen-Strait, I have no idea why it had such an odd name, so if anyone can enlighten us! Richard Hornsby and Sons produced it in June 1915 and is pictured here being tested in front of Churchill and David Lloyd George at Wormwood Scrubs. It successfully cut through barbed wire I believe. After that trial they mounted an armoured body onto a Delannay-Belville chassis, but this proved unsuccessful and any further trials/production was abandoned. I think this was Englands first foray into the world of armoured, tracked vehicles. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/rik242_2006/killen-strait.jpg[/img]

Thansk for them Richard, good to see it is still there.

Wasnt it because Hitler always believed England would become allied to Germany? Therefore had no desire to destroy ts forces, hence letting a majority of forces out of Dunkirk and holding his troops, where he could have swept in?

Blimey ! You are quick off the mark!

Im sure that should form part of a joke... " My wife went to see a bloke with a M.O. Plant O854, she wasnt sure where she had been taken...etc, etc.."

Gold star for recognising the Clyno, plus extra for recognising the carpet! They are Triumphs from what I know working with the 3rd South Midlands. ;-)
