The old one, you cant wash your hands in a buffalo but you can in a ........

I think it's time to get your coat:n00b:

I've got another easy one lined up

I'll believe that when I see it:pfrt:

That's a bummer Tim, as you say superb publications.

What's the diffrence bettween a Buffalo and a Bison? (Going to be sorry I posted this aren't I?)

Affirmative!:nut:

If he was a Yank in disguise he'd probably be creased up over the name "Trojan"! :-)

Thanks Clive, that is a surprise,:shocked: it just looked far too obvious to me. No doubt the next one will be well nigh impossible:D

Welcome to the forum, your Land Rover looks to be in remarkably good condition considering it's previous life.

I hope you're not getting addicted to that stuff Tony:nut:

I must remember to give the soldier who told me at Bovington a sharp word when I next meet him if ever..

He was probably quoting the all up weight when including the 'essential supplies'. Unless he was a Yank in disguise, equivalent in short tons would be 68.

Clive it looks like a collapsible assault boat to me but knowing your devious mind I suppose that would be too easy:D

Seen parked outside a cafe on the A41 near Whitchurch 2 days ago jeep on a trailer towed by a Land Rover. Took a couple of pics but can't upload them:computerrage:

What is the value a of good condition French jeep trailer c/w cover please?

Can anybody tell me the value of a fully working GRC-9 radio complete with mounting plates please.

Trojan weighs 62.5 tonnes.

:wow:If it's in good nick that's cheap

Nobody wants to drive them anymore, they require a lot more skill and are much harder work than sitting with your feet up in a 360 excavator and also instead of employing a multi purpose machine a lot of firms seem to prefer to use more specialised machines which economically makes little sense.

My advice would be to buy the TM9- 801 manual and study the general running and servicing requirements and when going to view take someone with you that is well versed in GMC's. Most trucks were fitted with banjo axles (large circular diff) and parts availability is better on these than on the Timken split axle versions. As regards the gun ring, this is a heavy old lump of metal so be aware of the extra strain this puts on the front axle. Good luck in your search, in my opinion one of the best vehicles to own and as long as well looked after very reliable and a cracking drive.

Welcome to the forum Scott, novel intro:). I'm sure you wouldn't have upset the Gypsy owner, on the contrary he'd be pleased that you were interested in the vehicle and no doubt enjoyed talking about his pride and joy. Try the subtle approach with your other half, quality family time etc, if that doesn't work just keep nagging 'til she submits.

Hi Pete, my father was the Armoury F/Sergeant on a Coastal Command squadron and kept some technical manuals and course notebooks which unfortunately I lost when I cleared his house after his death. He rarely talked of the war and when he did it was mostly humorous stuff but he would talk about the technical problems they had with the Frazer Nash turrets fitted to Lockheed Hudsons when they replaced the Avro Anson's . Like most blokes he just wanted to get back to a normal family life, never collected the medals he was entitled to although one of his tunics had ribbons on, he'd grudgingly obeyed an order to wear them.

Hi Steve, if you tick the 'remember me' box when you log in that should cure your problem.

Sorry to butt in to your thread Pete although I am thoroughly enjoying it, I find stories like your father's fascinating.

Thank you to you both for posting these stories.

Pete, AFAIK Chilwell has always been in Notts, it certainly was in the Fifties when I went there to visit relatives. ISTR that there was a massive explosion at the shell factory that Richard mentions which resulted in a massive loss of life.

HQ and RAOC main depot was Central Ordnance Depot Chilwell Nottinghamshire.

Strangely still carrying it's US number on the bonnet.
