    Clive,

     

    You could be right after a little web search of Bs381C 499 I think that's the dark brown that is used on the ammo boxes you see for 7.62, 5.56 & 105mm etc.... I should have posted a picture really to avoid any confusion. I will post one today if I get a chance.

     

    Cheers

    P.s Clive you should have a picture of the .30 box (and the gun linkage). It was my turret you where photographing at Evesham this year.

    Hi all,

     

    an event in Hereford which I'm involved in. Pay us a visit or QSO!

     

    This Special Event Station will be celebrating 35 years of Clansman Military Radio being in service. The event will take place on Saturday 23rd March 2013 from Suvla Barracks in Hereford, 10.00-17.00, with proceeds going to Help for Heroes Charity. There will be further displays of other types of Military Radio equipment, Weapons and Militaria, Military Vehicles, Help for Heroes Merchandise, Territorial Army Recruitment Stand, Army, Air Cadets and the very interesting Hereford Light Infantry Museum. Refreshments will be available and best of all, it will be Free Admission. We will be operating from the turn of Midnight on the Friday with most activity predicted on 40m but 20m, 15m and 10m CW, SSB will be covered as well conditions permitting especially throughout the Saturday. We plan to remove the current photographs from the qrz page on the day and upload current photographs of the event.

     

    Link to the QRZ.com web page for more info.

    Sankey trailer bowser hole!

    in Trailers, plant and equipment

    Hi all

     

    I was sanding down my new trailer ready for a coat of paint and I've just noticed it doesn't have a bowser hole/flap! It's a MK3 trailer. My other Sankey has the hole for a water bowser.

     

    Heres the question, Both trailers are MK3, but was the bowser hole remove/deleted from later trailers or was it added later to MK3 trailer? Or was there more than one manufacturer?

     

    Its just a curiosity on my part really!!

     

    Cheers

    How many Radio Amateurs do we have?

    Passed my foundation licence last October.

     

    Had the radios in my land rover but no licence to use/cover me with the radios so Ian (malteaser on the forum and full licence holder) got a group together (all MV owners) and a tutor. We did the course over a weekend then did the exam on the Monday. Not looked back since! Worked stations all over the world on my 10 watts.

     

    Cheers
