    Spent two hours today in the Dunkeswell Memorial Museum, Devon. (Six miles from Honiton). Well worth a visit if you're into wartime aviation. http://www.dunkeswellmemorialmuseum.org.uk/

    At Dunkeswell Strut Fly In. Austin in RAF staff car markings. I think it's a Dodge and Quad AA trailer. Jeep (belongs to an MVT member). Also spotted some aircraft, pics posted in Aviation forum.

    Piper L18C. Currie WOT modified as Royal Aircraft Factory SE5. Auster 61. Swordfish again (better pic). All at Dunkeswell Strut Fly In.

    The Royal Navy Historic Flight Fairey Swordfish over Ilchester.

    Small parts may benefit from additional protection of MVP Moisture Vapour Proof Paper, shiny on one side waxy on the other. Not sure if it's called that in civvy street.

    Has to be B, the Ferret owner. With all that armour C must own a tank.

    That's why I bought the Mitsubishi, only 4 grand not 10!

    At the end of the day, it's not a practical and cheap Willys Jeep. It's still a Mahindra, or does anyone disagree.

    For those of you who use Ebay and may not be aware, if you have reason to raise a dispute, it must be done within 45 days of the completion of the transaction.

    Talking of feathers, I bought a second hand 58 bag and was camped at Towcester racecourse. That night it went below zero and I found out there were no feathers left in the top!

    Many moons ago, the late 1980s early 90s, if you drove through Ludgershall towards Tidworth, in the parking area out the back next to the Perham Down road, there were Saracens and Pigs galore. Never thought to take a piccy back then.

    The camera is my Canon EOS20D Digital SLR and the lens is a Canon Zoom Lens EF 75 - 300 mm.

    A Jet Provost in circuit at RNAS Yeovilton, but didn't have the camera with me.

    I've got a similar box, but had to buy mine, you lucky so and so.

    I sold one of those (with straps) at the Cobatton Bring and Buy sale earlier this year and still have one in the cuboard (no straps). I have seen them occasionally at Amateur Radio rallies, one chap was asking £35 for one (minus straps). What I call stupid money.

    Paint.

    Having been on exercise on Stanford Battle Training Area one cold January, and been on guard duty at Kinloss on graveyard shift over several Decembers, not for me thank you. But still a good thought for those who can handle the cold.

    Cut from a roll.....there's another thing I didn't know, thank you for that info. That's why I'm so glad I joined, I'm learning so much.

    Great piccies of great aircraft. Ref: G-ECAN, somewhere in my collection of transport stuff I have a timetable for Railway Air Services. Those were the days when travel was exciting.

    I remember us being issued with white nylon belts for parades back about then. Somewhere I still have a green one as well.

    If they want something other than WW2 vehicles, I might be able to turn up for the Saturday. What time does it kick off?
  22. Paul Drake
    That would be nice for me, it's less than two hours away. I've got nothing WW2 though.
  23. Paul Drake
    Nimrod was indeed a fine looking aircraft. I think the replacement ought to be some Gannets borrowed from museums. to go with the build up in our Territorial Forces.
  24. Paul Drake
    Definitely!

    I think that is an ordnance vehicle from RAF Knettishall in Suffolk, known as Station 136 to the American 8th Air Force. Knettishall had a very interesting history, but lousy painters obviously.
