Try your local saddler and ask for canvas New Zealand rug proofer, that will do it and not attack any leather fittings.

Many thanks Tony, calling in tomorow to order some !:-)

room for a Reo on Sunday ?:-)

just an update we have two Jeeps a Reo and a jet provost cockpit to display

Well further to the Thompson water seal debate, please,do any of you knowledgable folk have any feedback on the canvas proofer sold by Kerry Cheese on Milweb ? I know the Reo will be barn stored in winter however she will be standing next to the BARV on display through the summer and early autumn, although the canvas is relatively new I would still like to treat it and keep it in good condition:red:

Wish we had a Lanc cockpit ,unfortunately we only have the rear fuselage and turrets at the moment, otherwise I would have sent a grovelling begging letter !!!

Done !

Any body used the waterproofer on sale on Milweb (sold by Kerry Cheese) ?

Brilliant ! just Brilliant !:-D

Just a thought for those going to the Rotherham transport Bash ! Braithwell is just down the road from Rotherham and we are displaying our Jet provost cockpit, Reo and a Jeep, anyone who wants to drop in with a Military vehicle will be most welcome, please ring James on 07799174227 if you want to reserve a space.

cheers

Well I didn't rush...honest:red: But I got one !!!:-D and drove all the way to sunny Doncaster from Andover ! I will post pics after this weekend at Aeroventure we have a classic bike do on sunday

How about the 'dreamer' on fleabay Reo M35 starting price £8k then goes on to say requires attention ???????:nut:

many thanks for the heads-up, and thanks for all the pm's guys I will have to show a little patience:blush: now that my deposit has been accepted I'm getting all excited:-D

Bit like Berna I suppose ? need to move a Reo M35a2 from Andover, I am assured it is a good driving machine but would prefer to transport it, any idea of cost/availability ?

thanks

john:blush:

Hello Bill:D where in South Yorks you from ?

believe the BV belongs to a company called NK Recovery

I wonder if they get their tracks from Leconfield :cool2:

Hello Mark, welcome Mate, I saw the militant when I passed through Howden yesterday, also saw the BV in front of the farm on the way to Welham bridge do you know it ?

There's been lots of interesting stuff in and around Yeovilton this week.

Marine Aviation Anniversary, watch out for our Gazelle heading back north on Tuesday, Scout cockpit came back today

ye i thought that too...............

Definitely Pickering, its the road that leads up to Market Hill with the tight left hand bend before going down towards the railway station, the building at the rear is the Forest and Vale hotel

Tina staying in to watch the wedding on tv

I'm going to go and have a look at the Vulcan over at Donny Airport, just for the hell of it !

Is it really 30 years since Charles and Diana married ? I was at Aldergrove then

Just watched episode 2. It is a frustrating program to watch, it feels like you have just watched a 30 minute trailer for the actual series! "Thanks mate" "These things are solid" etc etc..... It's "bits" of everything with not much real content and follow up. And the camera's are all over the place, it's like watching a early episode of naked chef! Do we really need to see Jeremy's facial expression after every comment!

 

Although I agree with the post about the age of the recruits!! How old do I feel now! One of the lads driving the HGV wearing the helmet reminded me of my nephew with a toy helmet on :-) He's 7 :-)

Thank Goodness ! I thought it was me, why do they repeat the same stuff over and over again, no real content ,no real information, anyway having consulted my good friend on camp he says e2 was far more accurate than e1, but the whole programme upset a lot of people who helped produce it (HM Forces that is) Jk attitude man not popular at all !:-|

Unfortunately Mr Kyle upset a lot of people at Leconfield, poor choice in my humble opinion:blush:

Really good turnout ! some very friendly and informative people to talk to, a guy from the Goole area let me have a good look round his Reo, also saw a fair few people from Doncaster there too Well done lads !

So , How many of you going tomorow ? I will be there ! I will be allowed a whole two hours to drool over Military Vehicles, before being caught up and re-chained to shopping bags and culinary duties:red:

Hi ,have you tried Ian Allan publishing, Crowoods used to do a good hardback one , you will find a lot of 'model specific' stuff though. If you get a copy of Flypast magazine there are plenty of book supplier ads in there, Try Pen and Sword they sourced books for us when we started on the Sycamore

I tried Footman James, very knowledgable, very friendly and an excellent package offered,they also have their Banner on this site and support HMVF.

Got a great quote then lost out on the truck hey ho:mad:
