Welcome,
Ironside at A Long recovery should be able to help you with your questions.... as he uses ex militray kit...
guess you will need a coach boom for the coaches and buses...

Excellent Idea, I will give him a shout and see if we can get him to join...
I know he has so much information stored in his head, and untold hard data so now all we need is him here sharing it...
ok guys form a queue with your questions and one at a time we hope he will join and answer them...

Hi Cliff
welcome and where do you hail from, North, East, South or West UK?
you mentioned that the Diamond T was moved in 2003,
was this the same Diamond T that was at the Beverley Museum of Army Transport
when it closed in 2003??
Cheers
Steve

As for the bumpers I haven't got a clue. But sure someone will help with that info...
so have you purchased the truck or a custodian ?
A 1033 is an issue and receipt voucher...

Having spoken with the great northern one, he can confirm the front bumper was changed due to the vehicle being involved in an accident, signs of which can still be found by the amount of filler on the near side front wing, This was done while on active service.
The vehicle arrived at the Museum of Army Transport in 1980, he still has the 1033 for its transfer and the servicing details from its arrival until 2003.

Now, that's dedication, 6,000km round trip!
Thats a walk in the park, in 2011 mine was around 10,000km and technically 14 countries.... And driven alone!
but must agree very good report.....

When I was at college I found an old (1960s?) book on recovery. On the first page was a flow diagram and the first box said "Engage brain before mouth or other equipment".
this reminds me of a winch truck at Dhekelia

Saw this advert on Milweb and wondered if it's of any use. I believe they are based in the Midlands, which i guess might be a bit far....

Its not hard to do your track Licence, just practice and practice driving the vehicle you plan to use and get use to how it behaves braking and turning. and book your own test, from memory its around £65 at worst and you dont pass youve only lost that... but hey its your money.

After a silly moment sometime back I had committed myself to attend the Slovakian version of Beltring, their website was very encouraging, pictures of vehicles playing in possibly the biggest arena playground ever, pretty girls and limited rules.
What an experience, it's kind of how I remember Beltring 15years ago.
so heres just a small sample of the event...
-
Could it be a 439?
-
heres a couple of photos I took of the OT under Slovak testing...
-
I'm sure Neil will be over soon but he said it was running a lot better now.. And the times he went out with it after that the marshalls in the arena had to keep telling him to slow down :-D
The arena at W&P needs to be a bit bigger.. maybe a mud oval? :-D
Glad to hear its better, I will tell Kamil when I See him next week, maybe Mud and Rust needs an arena like the slovaks have at there show...
I got a couple of picture from Kamil's road test in the arena, so will post them asap...
-
This is our first little teamvideo, not that much vehicles (though it has a bit of Neil's OT
)does anyone know how the OT was running after the slovak had a fiddel with the fuels system ?
-
Not sure if the Barmy Army mud wrestling actually happened though, as I got Elvised out and had to leave...still quite noisy but IT'S BELTRING!!
As they used to say "Be there or be square!"

what about this guy?
if he wont post to you let me know, as maybe visiting him on friday...
-
Wished I could be there, it's a pukka location and normally a pukka weekend
-
The one the Slovaks brought to W&P back 2008 was pukka, maybe they will bring it again this year, as there are roomers they are returning, but at worst I hope to get a play with one when I visit the Slovaks show in August, then I will report back what I think, having owned a few vehicles and driven quite a few more in my time
-
No I can't make it, as now doing Slovak one a couple weeks after beltring...

But as said he can be a busy man....
