Paul, that's another one for the research folder!

Fantasic job there Toby! Do you know the all up weight? Got to be pushing over 3tons Cheers Alex

I have his book it's at work! I think they where made on a male mould? Layer up over the mould, rather than in it?

thanks aagin for the info. The evidence I have 41 KC 34........ A build up of paint here the front wing GRP would have gone. loads of hole filled in on the body work ( sorry about the light, it was fading fast) and i think this maybe the hle ruxy was on about? but there is no underside mods at all. making a kit could be something for the future! maybe! Thanks again Alex

Martin, good thinking Robin, it's 41 KC 34 In NI from 1986 till 1990. As the 90/110 was about from 1984 I don't think it would have seen much use, but it has the holes in the correct places to suggests a VPK being fitted. Cheers Alex

Thanks for the info there Richard, nice to hear from someone who fitted them! Cheers Alex

Yeah must agree, very nice! Great work Cheers Alex

Hello, My land rover spent a few years of it's life in NI in the 39th infantry brigade. So just out of interest..... Has anyone got any more info/manual on the kit? Fitting info etc. I know the kits are no longer about but there must be so info out there! Cheers Alex

Martin, Very nice land rover there! I'd go Camo tho! Cheers Alex

I'll be there! With Darren and the combined ops lads Cheers

Sounds the same as what I have! Radio manuals! That reminded me to put a 321 manual on my stoneleigh list! Alex C

Cheers Andy It's made up of 3 block like things, first one has the red and green lights, a dial switch with 12 settings (cores in a cable) then 2 blocks with all the different cable ends on them. It's all in a nice bag too. If that helps!! Alex

Hello all I have a clansman cable tester. I know it is fairly straight forward to use, but any one out there got or know where to get a manual for it? Can't seen to find one anywhere! Cheers all Alex

I can ask him to bring them in but it won't be till the new year now, what's the ERM of your 101? And I will PM you if it's there in any of the pictures. Cheers Alex

A RAF falklands veteran at work bought his pictures in for me The RAF EOD blokes (whom he was a part) had a Bedford and two series 3 station wagons with red wings and rear quarter panels, he landed on red beach I believe when the war was on. Also in the back ground of some of the pictures in Ajax bay where 101 ambulances, don't know how much they where used as most casevax was by air or foot. Cheers Alex

Hello all When I bought my unitry radio station for my lightweight it didn't have anything in the bottom part of it! So a friend lent me a bottom tray and I copyed it The only bit I'm missing now is the Spilage tubs Pictures of my radio set up is in my intro, but I will try and get on the computer and upload them again for this thread Rover8ffr in Gloucestershire? Same here! Cheers Alex

Hi, I have been collecting the clansman family of British army radios for a year now. So it's taken me a year to get to the standard it is now (second photo down). Using that photo I will explane what's in there! All the radios etc... Are mounted on the unitary radio station, which was designed to fit on to the airportable land rover or be removed from a rover and be used as a stand alone radio station. So... Left to right First radio is the PRC (personal radio comms) 352 VHF manpack radio, which in this case is mounted in a vehicle. Next to that is the charging unit for the 352's battery it's called the DCCU (direct current charging unit) Then mounted on the table is the VRC (vehicle radio comms) 321. It's a vehicle mounted HF radio, 2-30 MHz and on top of it is tuning unit. Mounted next to that on the table is the VRC 353. Again a vehicle mounted radio but this time covers the VHF range. Mounted on top of the 353 is a DMU (digital master unit). The DMU was produced to make the 353 a "secure" radio (no one can unscramble it unless you have a DMU on the other end). The system is called BID 250, no idea how it works!! Mounted on the roof left to right Is a antena matching unit that connects one of the VHF radios to the antena. Then the commanders box & commanders personal unit & headset that's part of the basic intercom I have in there ( just for a bit of fun realy) Then two speakers and mounted behind that is a penthouse light. I'm no expert at this subject, it's just what I have picked up over the year I've been buying radios. So forgive me if it's flawed in any way! Hope I've explaned more than I've confused you! I'm more of a practical person than an academic.!!! Cheers Alex

Just had a read though this tread, Nice to see your saving a landy from the scrap man. all looks good and keep up the the cracking pace & hard work. I like the new chassis too, last a few years! Alex

(Lightweights are slightly better ). I'll second that! Lol

a few pictures from the last year

Thanks again all for the warm welcome. I will try and get some pictures on here soon, I manly use my fone for the net. And all my pics are on the computer! I have a dmu for sale at the mo, finishes off the 353 set up whitch is good, do u have the bid250 simulator brick? That's a good buy if you can find one, it looks the part then. Cheers Alex

Mark, You didn't happened to take a picture of the rear of my rover did you? Just by chance? Cheers

Mark, Yea I liked it, nice lay out and very informative

Thanks all Mark I think you have a picture of my land rover from war in the vale 2010 on your website, reg 41 KC 34.

Not again! Your wash the paint off if you keep on washing it Tony! It was looking sorry for it's self this morning when I took the rover for a blast!
