So where can I buy the paint from.............when I have made up my mind? Or has anyone got gallons of the stuff in their garage?

Do you think that he could put it up on Ebay Sean :shock:

lmfao

Blimey Sean I bet he was panicking when he put the last bid on and then there is that awful silence when no one else raise's their arms :shock: Will he be displaying it?

well that has certainly given me something to think about, so have to ask the question, if MV owners where period dress are then re-enactors and if re-enactors drive MV are they then MV owners and not re-enactors? Or are we all re-enactors seeing as we are all displaying something from a certain time and place?

OK here are some pictures of Aldbourne and Ramsbury. I would imagine that most of us know about Aldbourne but those of you who don't, it was were the 101st Airborne (Band of Brothers fame) were billited. Really is amazing place. Were sat outside the Blue Boar Pub (the pub were the troopers used to drink) having a nice pint and then two jeeps ride by, all kitted out and looking lovely. Grab them and got talking and as if by magic it was Tim and his brother in law and family :shock: 8) 8) Tim being a member of HMVF.......see pics below. The family and I also visted Littlecote House which was the headquarters of 506 PIR. The Americans must of been amazed by this historical house............. Littlecote House main entrance, how many jeeps would of been parked out side of here 1st regiment of the Beckettshires standing in the main doorway Littlecote There is a good picture in many books of officers of the 101st sitting where we are standing A small and the only bit about the 101st that I could find Aldbourne green HMVF card pinned outside Dick Winters billet Not sure if this is the only piece of the Ramsbury airfield left but it looks wide enough to be the main runway, this where the 101st and I believe the 82nd left from for Market Garden Tim, Neil and their families and mine............nice Jeeps! Inside the Blue Boar Ramsburys bench More from the 1st regiment of the Beckettshires on tour next week :shock: My thanks go to the official tour photographer........Anne Beckett :wink:

People look upon MV owners and re-enactors as separate entities, but are we? Surely we drive and display vehicles to recreate and to educate the same as re-enactors do in their respective fields and use MV's as part of their displays. So would it be fair to say the MV's owners are re-enactors?

made Prince Charles laugh, made the hurdles that went around the lake where Diana was buried, write for the Shooting Times.......

Think you are right Berni, I think it is a problem that the hosting company is having.

lmfao! to right and they still do..........bought some the other day from an fashioned sweet shop in Lymington, and they haven't changed, they still make the top of your mouth sore :?

I gave Bruce Forsythe and Cola Cube when I was a lad :oops:

Good work Richard, thanks! So for clarification, I passed my driving test in 1985 and I have my bike test, so I can drive upto a 8 ton truck as long as it was made pre 1960? Cheers Jack.

I wil post some pictures up of Upottery as we have some wonderful pictures from there also.............
