  1. What's the current status of these remains?
  2. I've heard of flying classrooms! Sherpa 360, was on display at the ex-museum at RAF Millom, no in a school playground at Colwick, near Nottingham.
  3. A Tiger 1 cost 250k RM ~ $100k when new, that's about $1.25m in today's money.
  4. Some strange estimates, the Kegresse I'd expect to sale past it's $10K top estimate, $100K+ for a FLAK 36? $15-25K for an FV432???? $900K for the Sdkfz7 looks steep too. The PzIV is certainly rare, fairly complete, so who knows what it'd fetch.

  6. Carried in pairs by the B29. I don't think any were dropped in combat.
  7. Just incase you're not sure what you're restoring!
  8. The luminous paint, http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/luminous.htm Radium & Zinc Sulphide.

    4-2-1-1-1-1!

    That's number of Merlin engines on each flying airframe. [video=youtube_share;ceuU1UQuwVU] Come August, we'll be seeing 4-4-and how many 1s? with a bit of luck!:banana::yay::beer:
  10. There are pages of debates & arguments about the exact shade(s) for Dunkelgelb! http://www.network54.com/Forum/47207/thread/1364651560/A+%91big+question%92-+Dunkelgelb+%96+did+it+evolve-
  11. As it says, made by R&J Beck Ltd. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=170352 Here's one for sale. http://creativenoise.net/Stunning-WWI-Trench-Periscope-1918-by-R-%26-J-Beck%2C-Superb-Condition_290893000393.htm $118. One in the UK http://www.mullocksauctions.co.uk/lot-38849-wwi_officer%E2%80%99s_trench_stick_periscope_1918_dated_wooden.html Guide price £30-40, didn't sell in 2011. Looks like you'll still have to go to work Monday morning!
  12. I have a feeling that the retaining clip in the last photo, is a "Field Modification"!:cool2:
  13. It was infront of the old Bastogne Historical Center, that's been replaced by a new museum, opening today. http://www.opt.be/informations/tourist_attractions_bastogne__bastogne_war_museum__second_world_war_memorial_centre/en/V/16761.html
  14. Looks like the bastard offspring of a Mack & a Reliant Regal!
  15. Drop The Shuttleworth Collection a line. If anyone in the UK knows, it'll be them.
  16. Bumped into it myself on Thursday. Owner appeared very quickly when I was having a look at it, uses it to load tractors onto flatbeds.
  17. [video=youtube_share;sx3y0E1xStc] Poor old girl sound like she's in pain!

  19. Speaking of Bentleys. http://www.gomog.com/articles/no1judgement.html
  20. Obvious! NERDY! They just knew that those bits would survive & some insane person would come along to restore it!:nut:
  21. Nice lorry load! To my amateur eyes, there's a 6pdr & a Bofors 40mm.
  22. http://forum.skalman.nu/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=40294&p=654015 My type of scrapyard! I think the Tiger bits are now snuggled together in Munster in the guise of Herr Hoebig's Tiger!
  23. Mighty big worms in that there can! Bit like "Grandma's Broom" A good example to debate, is Herr Hoebig's "Tiger". Herr Hoebig was an owner of the famous "M. Murat's Field" in Trun. The tank is believed to be welded together from numerous bits. So, probably more bits with "Made in Germany" on them, than not. Looks like a Tiger, but somewhat more of a replica than a restoration, IMHO. The great G-13 v Hetzer debate is another example. The owners of "Hetzers" get very upset if someone suggests it's been assembled in Switzerland, taken to bits & reassembled with bits that weren't on it when it trundled through the alpine meadows!:cool2: For me, I ain't fussed if your M36 Jackson has an engine from a T54 & evidence of a "roof" once being on it. Thanks for taking the time & paying a lot to get it trundling along. If I was buying something and really wanted it to be a "proper" whatever, I'd probably expect the main structural bits to have come out of the appropriate factory, at the appropriate time, be armed with the correct weapon(s), have the right motor and gearbox and probably it's wheels being period pieces too.
