  1. The perfect world would be free transport, fuel and live firing!
  2. Us tankies always said we would like to hold an event just for vehicle owners. Get the use of a training area such as SPTA or Borden and have a weekend playing. No road runs, just lots of off road. Huge BBQ and beer tent for the evenings!
  3. That doesn't apply to private individuals selling their own property though.
  4. Is that Capt. Reilly-Ffoul on the right? My father remembered him from his childhood.
  5. Windsor, unless the bogies are fitted incorrectly!
  6. All joking aside, I thinks it's great that a new museum is opening. Australia, now Jordan, more power to those behind them.
  7. Yes, some are black with sand and some are sand with black.....
  8. Nothing showing here Clive, just the photobucket demand image!
  9. Thought so..... Thanks anyway.
  10. It's a Methyl Bromide type but of the smaller size than used on AFVs. Looks like the bracket is equipped to fire it remotely, I would think it aircraft or boat origins. Bob, if it is the 4 1/2" diameter example, can I have it please?
  11. Ok! I'd never heard of it, which in itself means nothing of course.... I couldn't find any reference to it either.
  12. Very interesting, mine is dated July 1943........ It only covers Mk I however!
  13. My Humber Scout parts list just shows it as a 155-2. I wonder what the B signifies?
  14. Given its location, I suspect it is from a Daimler A/C. Unless it's a more recent import!
  15. Centurion is 24volt and uses a 168-3. I agree with the others.
  16. Daimler armoured car had the 155-2B as one option, there may well have been other applications.
  17. D4 2T so ex-military here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caterpillar-D4-tractor-not-dozer-/282484693841?hash=item41c5665b51:g:j9IAAOSwcwhVMHWE
  18. A 1943 Flea would most likely have been brown, SCC2. This is now Service Brown BS381C ref 499 but only in matt finish. Any gloss level dramatically darkens the shade, a peculiarity of this colour. British built vehicles were never US olive drab. We had our own version which came into use in early 1944 but it is not the same as US olive drab even though it was called olive drab. Still available, though possibly a little darker than the wartime spec as 298.
  19. They're hydraulic Rick, the pump is fitted to the right of the driver's seat and is also used to raise the seat. There is a changeover lever marked seat and hood.
  20. The clutch is a Lipe, nothing light about it!
