I was there in spirit Olaf;) Just got too much going on healthwise at the moment
-
Must have been a big disappointment to the organisers and sponsors to only have 3 gun tanks after the pre-event publicity promised 10. I'm well aware of maintenance issues etc but seems very unfair of so many owners to let Jack and co down.

Dunno whats happened to the guy in pic #13 but judging by the white knuckles and the 1,000 mile stare it must have been pretty shocking:shocking:
-
I wondered about that but was afraid to ask:-D
-
Wish I could say the same:-(
-
Very laudable Rosie but maybe a bit naive
-
Sounds like a 'sickie' required;). Unfortunately I can't be there this time but I'm looking forward to seeing the photo's and video's. Hope it all goes well.

The BD or battle dress blouse is the waist length jacket worn over the shirt.

news Nazi gold train found in Poland?
Degsy replied to draganm's topic in Archaeology - WW1 to the end of the cold war
Most of the American equipment in British hands was dumped or destroyed at the end of the war due to Lend Lease conditions. -
At least Rosie shouldn't get stuck this year now she's got a a Land Rover:D PS I hope you've taught her what the little gear lever's for Richard;)

Apparently there are only 6 in service so far, there have been a lot of problems both engine wise and structurally.

I've got a 10 year old granddaughter who's already under training on the farm. -

Thanks Tony, now I wish I hadn't asked:iamsmiling: -
A400M Atlas the replacement for the C130 Hercules flying over the Conwy Valley. The Hercs usually fly so low over the river that the prop wash is visible on the water but the Atlas was much higher. This particular aircraft may not have been delivered yet but could have come from Airbus at Broughton near Chester. This is a designated low flying area and we get a large variety of British, American and NATO aircraft overhead every day, the most common being the Hawks from Valley, Anglesey.

restoration New project - Mk 1 Knocker 6x6
Degsy replied to ArtistsRifles's topic in Blogs of MV restorations
Yes, old mini's did have that catch, in the 50's and 60's lots of vehicles had a similar system. No idea on the Mili but it's quite possible. -
[quote=ArtistsRifles;469537 As regards the magazines the question no one has answered yet is how the hell do you weld polymer magazines into steel receivers?? For starters the AK range uses both Bakelite and Polymer magazines - neither of which are weldable! I think the short answer to that will be no mag fitted and spots of weld on the receiver to prevent fitting of said item.

question Ferret engine seized, anyone got some top tips to free it off?
Degsy replied to Rubberduck's topic in British Vehicles
Ethanol is added to petrol over here and it does cause problems on older vehicles, some manufacturer's are also not happy about Ethanol but the Government have allowed its use. I use a lead substitute additive which also contains an additive to combat ethanol because it damages seals in the carb/fuel system with potentially disastrous results. -
OK Lee, thank you.
-
You might well be right, I admit that's something I hadn't checked but perhaps it's an issue for Joris to have a look at.

I am well aware of the reason for having the Ebay adverts on the forum but surely they should be restricted to military items. Recently civilian vehicle adverts have been creeping in, is this an attempt to slowly bring in more and more adverts by slipping in the odd civilian advert and if nobody complains then gradually filling the forum up with this rubbish?
-
Looks very similar to an air raid warning siren that was mounted on the roof of a GPO telephone exchange that I used to pass on my way to and from school many years ago.

The British/German type filler doesn't necessarily mean it is an USMC can, if it is it will be marked as such. Apparently a lot of the American screw type were converted post war for use in the civilian market.
