Hi Ross.

Welcome aboard!

That sounds like a special day out especially driving through the city centre seeing as it was pretty well blitzed. This site could of done with going live earlier in the year as we would all have time to work the shows out.........sorry about that :oops:

I will let those who I know, know about it but please do take some pictures and post them up on here.

What do you drive?

Cheers.

Jack.

Why is it that as soon as I buy a Deuce..............petrol hits and an all time high :cry: :twisted:

Thanks for that.

Is it of WW2 vintage?

Found it in northern France... It served in british service....

It was made on my birthday!!! the 29th of june... (not DOD)

 

Will keep you informed of the restoration!

 

Jeroen

Nice history.

Put a topic up in the US vehicles about your restoration and I will turn it into a sticky.

Cheers.

Behind the downpipe manifold

Hi Steve.

For me, ithas to be June 6th commerations down at Upottery. Which is where elements of 101st Airborne left for D-day in the late hours of June 5th. The C47's then came back to tow the gliderborne troops across.

It was the formal unveiling of a memorial to all of the men that didn't come box and the memorial is a Sentry box that stood on the edge of the marshalling area, it is now listed.

Runway 27, is the runway that they took of from on June 5th 1944 they would of passed Eliza and taken off into the distance, destination, Normandy.

Very very special place.

Ok leave it with me and I will have a look!

Karoshi

Hi Karoshi.

It's a good show down at Bovy and the road run travels up and around the Purbecks hills 8) and camping is allowed there to.

This will be my first show with my GMC :shock: I will get some more details for you and post them up!

Dear all.

Was thinking about having a 'restoration' section within each vehicle category, this will allow us to show the rest of the members the progress and the different methods employed in the restoration of any vehicles, this will also allow for tips and tricks of the trade to be posted. I think I will start and post some of my GMC.

Best wishes.

Jack.

Blimey, heres another letter from my local MP and a reply from Hazel Blears as well. My local Tory MP seems to being his job and I am heartened by the reply from Hazel Blears, it looks like consession could be made.

Dear all.

Can anyone date this 30 cal tin?

Thanks

Jack.

Wow!

Wonderful Steve, that picture of that B17 is something else, you wouldn't if that was the Sally B or not. I would guess that producing models like that would take more than a weekend ir two?! :shock:

Nice work on the jacket art...some people are just to clever!

Another HMV from the same farm in Devon...........

Nice Bedford RL down on a farm in Devon along with a collection of other MV's..........

A couple of pictures from the D-Day museum at Southsea, Hants.

A Churchill Crocodile.........found in a scrap yard.

Sherman........again found in a scrap yard in Portugal, both tanks were restored by the Solent branch of the MVT.

Commander and tank crew.

Morning all.

Just a quick one.

I read at the D-Day museum yesterday that the first Dodge WC's were supplied to the British and used for the North Africa campaign.

Can anyone shed any light on this and would be interested to know what colour they were sprayed.

Cheers.

Jack.
