what can i say about todays events or lack of them.got in bright and early started up the conq all fine took her out to do manouvering checks and test the brakes,every thing good,tracked her to the crossing gate and suddenly loose power,stopped her checked all the fuel supply,fine there started her up again and only one bank of cylinders running , out with the laptop quick dia check and one of the injectors drivers is not working so on back to workshop,amazingly she got back under her own steam,did a proper dia check and the driver had for some reason burnt out so strip it out and and order a new one so very sorry for no show today but beyond our control,after all the work we put in this week we were %4x&@!" off to say the least. we will return and be at next heavies outing. yours regretfully john& andy

from s3 all 109,s had salisbury axles on the rear and so did 110,s up to the wolf,pretty much indestructable if you keep oil changed

the pioneer at reme museum,1 of 4 they have

thunderbird is go see you at slab tomoz

from a reliable source its the prototype arv 2 converted to range crane in 1966,used on a couple of live fire ranges,mostly salisbury,she was most certainly on her way to scapyard when these photos were taken

hi every one last two days have been a bit eventful with the conq put all the control rods back in yesterday and found that next to nothing worked so all out again and refit according to the manual ,a little better so played about with it all with good results on clutch,brake and throttle but no steering,finished at midnight last night so no update yesterday.started again bright and early today eventualy got steering sorted out and moved her about to make sure she performed as she should and then fitted all the fuel pressure regulaters and safety cut offs more probs but we no how to sort it ,back tomorrow for couple of hours to make sure so its ok sunday who says tank restoration is an easy job lol andy

its a mk 2 arv with the side boxes removed,i,ll ask john attlee tomoz as he knows the history of them better than most

looking at the 3rd pic its had all front armour cut out and crew compartment gutted which is strange ?

this looks like it has been modded to carry a crane,possibly in civillian hands as can,t find anything about mil conversion

andy fowlers going to video it so hopefully it will be on youtube for all to see

hi all fitted lambarder sensor today and finished plumbing fuel lines to gue and j60 engine and a few more control rods in front end,had her running again today tweaking the settings on megasquirt,sounds quite nice at full tilt so running side of it all done,back on it thursday to fit dropper box to charge 12v battery for megasquirt things are looking good andy

the conqueror will be there for deffinate look at my links on reme conq shes running sweet as a nut now

one more for you

also worked out the small cost of filling the new fuel tank up today £470 &*%$£"&* don,t think the local garage would apprieciate us pulling it on to the forecourt though haha

had a realy good day today,wasn,t the injectors,but 3 dud spark plugs,fitted new and away she went ticking over like a dream,set the throttle sensor and she went up to full revs and cleared herself a bit,just got to fit the lambader senser on exhausts to finish settings and we are away at last so sunday is looking good,just a few control rods left to fit in drivers compartment and the seat onwards and forwards andy ps i,ll post link to youtube later for new vids
