    I think the instruction 'you must carry a spare wheel' was taken a little too literally!
  3. Adrian Barrell
    Quite. Do we really feel that we should stop some people using their vehicles so that we can continue to use ours?

    Hi Harry, welcome and Happy Christmas! Do not worry about your English, it is fine and better than some English speakers..... Clive Elliott will tell you all you could ever want to know about Tabby and he has already written comprehensive articles on here, a search should find them.

    I can only access via Google Chrome, AOL and IE still no good.

    Richard is correct, it is LD for leyland, the BC6**** means it is likely to be Comet, Centaur and Cromwell generally being BC3**** and BC4****. I have a few of those, Chris Wilkinson had several......

    and I'll take the 105........

    That last shot with the APDS going in, is that a block lifting eye? I didn't realise that was a period fitting, presumably late war?

    and leaving a sheeps head on your pillow......

    Rob Nixon is your man, he has both.

    There is a makers number, such as C/84 or L/124 and the census number such as T189557, neither of which are stamped into the hull. The plate Rick mentioned, being cast in brass, is often missing!

    I'm sure I have a spare switch somewhere.
  13. Adrian Barrell
    I've been called a lot worse......

    It's wonderful what modern medicine, I mean engineering can achieve.......

    The voice of experience, eh Jack?

    The tube is sleeved because the original 'deactivation' when it left the army simply consisted of cutting the tube in half. It had been rejoined when put on display but it was not quite straight! We re-did it and used a tubular sleeve to get an accurate alignment. The deactivations consists of welding a plug in the chamber at least 2" thick, and welding bars across the rear opening of the breech ring. If it had a block, the bars would not be necessary but the block would need to have a cross cut into the front face and the firing pin hole welded up.

    Especially when his long barrel neds a support tube half way to keep it up.......

    Markings on rations or supplies of some sort?
  19. Adrian Barrell
    That's better. Now repeat after me, ''Mine's not a tank, it's only a self propelled gun''.........

    So are you actually hoping to ever get that muzzle cover and extinguisher brackets? :whistle:
  21. Adrian Barrell
    Not any time soon, I suspect. A tank is a tank, an SP is an SP.........
  22. Adrian Barrell
    You'd need a tank to qualify for that award then Adrian............!

    Your valve is shown in the wrong orientation.

    Do you think he is a new dad? He looks very happy, hope he got home ok.

    The longer one just has a grenade launcher under the muzzle.
