  1. Apologies for the spot of Threadomancy, but whilst wandering around the quieter bits of East Kirkby, during Sunday's 3 Lancasters event, I came across this! The only other known survivor's down at Bov. http://www.pillbox-study-group.org.uk/index.php/restorations/rescues-n-z/recovery-of-a-bison-mobile-pillbox-by-the-lincolnshire-aircraft-recovery-group/
  2. http://arab-album.com/album/d/53204-3/Jordan+valley+_64_.jpg Possibly in Jordan. Local modification on driver's compartment & mock-up .5? http://arab-album.com/album/d/53205-3/Jordan+valley+_65_.jpg
  3. A vehicle for yesterday's wars? http://www.eureferendum.com/blogview.aspx?blogno=85176
  4. Abandonned near Rawalpindi. I foresee a few gentlemen around here mounting an expedition!
  5. About 1pm, Dodge WC heading towards Newark on the A17, early leaver from Rauceby?

  9. Get a load of this! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-28873614 Missed it myself, had to work. The queue towards Waddington at around 10am, was back to Coleby Grange, saw the two Lancs flying across the Bardney Levels a bit later.
  10. It'll be a busy day at Waddington today. Both Lancs & the Vulcan, all lined up. http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafwaddington/newsweather/index.cfm?storyid=11B3DBF1-5056-A318-A802C5A20D39A135 Vulcan flew in yesterday, landed "uphill", to the disappointment of me & a few dozens others, who were under the flightpath on the A15 side.

  11. http://stobs-camp.bizhat.com/Pages/Page10/page10.htm There's a length of track on this page, but that's all I can find on the net. Interesting to see pictures of the remains you describe.
  12. I was standing in a field near Bracebridge Heath. at 1.15, when it was intended to fly over, the weather was really quite pleasant, given a new eta of 2pm and at 1.55, the heavens opened!:mad:
  13. Imagine the scramble if this scrapyard still existed! New Guinea, 1945.
  14. It'll be flying over Lincoln Cathedral with the BBMF's Lanc at 1.15pm, also over Scampton with Red Arrows escort.:wow:
  15. It's from Bov, IIRC, being swapped for a T72.
  16. Plans afoot to get the two Lancs and the Vulcan up as a trio! Now, that would be a sight to behold.
  17. "It's a bit heavy" "Oooooooo ffffffffff" "Reckon we need a bigger crane lads, oh, can Bill swim?" "Well, that was easy, get that truck out now" "Up she comes" "Oooooohhh ffffffffff"
  18. The 18/25pdr was a essentially a marriage of the 25pdr (87.6mm/3.45") gun on the 18pdr (84mm/3.3") carriage.
  19. Second date added! 7th September. http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/news/latest-news/3-lancaster-event--take-two--date-released.htm:yay:
  20. Top marks for hitting the Ruski!
  21. Approx 1.40pm, Landrover 1 ton forward control, broken down at Kelham bridge, on the A617 near Newark. Rather tatty camo,on an X-plate. Same poor bugger seen at 5.40pm, on the back of a breakdown truck, heading Mansfield way.
  22. The only surviving M4A2 76mm VVSS?
