  1. In the listing, they have put ''please watch the video for a full description''. I couldn't bring myself to watch a video of some hinges................:-)
  2. I wonder how they managed to blow up a solid shot?
  3. It was an LVT3, now long gone.....
  4. Well done Rick and good luck! A shame it had been left to rot after being appreciated earlier. Australia is generally very good at saving it's military history and has been for a long time. I was surprised when visiting the War Memorial just how much effort had been expended to that end even as far back as the Great War.
  5. I still win the beer, it's just I have to pay for it myself...........
  6. I had difficulty this morning, couldn't answer PMs or post. I had to sign out then in again.
  7. Well, 9 hours earlier but yes, something like that!
  8. It's the only way to travel Jack! So have you had your first lesson?
  9. So far, all of mine have been...... I have been a passenger for more takeoffs than landings however!
  10. I've been meaning to drop in to Compton for a while, now I'll have to....... :-D
  11. Hercules DXFE from a Diamond T 980. The injectors in the block are a Hercules feature with their swirl chamber port that is reduced by the upcoming piston.
  12. Still wishing to be pedantic myself, it's a Hyster winch....... The D8 was used as a recovery tractor by REME.
  13. Face down makes more sense with the windscreen folded down.
  14. Hanno, your command of the English language is better by far than the majority of people on here, especially the British! I was being a little pedantic but yes, crawler tractor is correct.
  15. The Overloon Crab has fittings for 3' wading but not for 6'.
  16. That's a wadeproofed D8. Not a dozer as it has no blade!
  17. I had always assumed the British WD cans were essentially identical to the civilian versions other than the debossed markings. The Canadian cans were tooled up especially for the military and hence incorporated the raised rim of the military oil can.
  18. When it's tank parts you need to store, shelves have their limitations......
  19. Stillage, Alastair, stillage. I'm more organised than that you know!
  20. If? From what I've seen, there is no question as to if! :clap:
  21. It has got the wrong tracks, I mean, a Grant with CDP? Best thing is to cut it up.
  22. SAE 50 engine oil, as per the book. Do not use a gear oil, especially one with EP additives, it will steer like the Titanic....
