Would I :?: :shock: :wink:

If you go to the web site "cckw.org" and ask your question I think Joel Gopan may be able to help you.

Rather than start another forum could the title "Book Reviews" be altered

to include web site recommendations or does anybody have a better suggestion for web site inclusion elsewhere?

Remembering Karoshi's particular inteest in this battle I recommend having a look at...http://home.scarlet.be/~cv920172/index.htm

This is a big site and i I have only seen a small part of it so far but it is very well put together and contains a massive amount of material.

Hi Paul

Look forward to it.

Cheers

Sorry Neil, I was being my usual sarcy self, I'm afraid I can't raise any interest in novels of any sort and although I'm an avid reader and have been reading WW2 material for over 50 years there is still a lot out there

still to go at.

Hey Berni now I understand why the mascots upside down, you will henceforward be known as Sheila. :? :lol:

Hi Marco

I thought Rex would know, glad he could help you.

Sounds just like being home on the farm,use whatever comes to hand, it usually involves baler twine at some stage. Don't use a match when trying

to check the level in a fuel tank, a neighbour did it with a tractor, the subsequent bang removed his eye brows and most of his hair, didn't do a lot to improve his brain either.

Never heard of it,is it about WW2 :?: :?

Hey Degsy this is business not pleasure :cry: :cry:

.........but do free to come and work your magic whilst I am away :wink: 8)

Now where have I heard that before :?:

.. :shock: Oh ay and I'll tie a brush to my a..e and sweep up at the same time :roll: :lol:

Pea flour :!: :!: :!: ,just the thing you're likely to find at the bottom of the toolbox :roll: :lol:

Thanks for trying to help Clive, as I run US vehicles my knowledge of British colours and markings is very sketchy. I brought Marco onto here from Bill's GMC CCKW site hoping you or somebody else on here could help him.

Cheers

Degsy

Hi Marco

The grey colour Clive mentions was used post war, for your period it was

olive drab but I don't knoew the exact shade.

Try contacting Rex Ward (web site http://www.dukwparts.com) his e-mail address and phone no are listed there also parts lists. Rex has restored

many DUKW's and I am sure you will find him very helpful.

Location is Nesscliffe MOD camp just off the A5 between Shrewsbury and Oswestry. If you like the really chilled out type of show with none of the 'Jobsworths' in dayglo coats this is the one for you and it is organised

by two enthusiasts not big business.

Contact Dave Pye 01743 792622 (office hours)

Most of the stuff Clive carries plus electrical repair kit, recovery and towing gear, (tow ropes and straps, shackles, snatch blockand rigid tow pole), fire extinguisher and anything else lying about in the yard/workshop

that takes my eye. Oh yes, and several other vehicles on the basis that they won't all break down on the same day :lol:

Cheers

Degsy

Alright for some :roll: Typical of the management classes, off on a jolly and leave all the c--p to the workers

Seriously though, have a good trip and don't drink too much of your namesakes Daniels :lol: :lol:

Cheers

You're Welcome/Croeso

Hi Marco

If you look under MV Chatter on the forum you will see I have already asked the question for you in case you didn't get here. I am hoping that

Clive will have the info you need.

Cheers

Hi Paul

Sorry to hear your news, unfortunately it is something that has probably happened to most of us, the days of a job for life are long gone. Don't

despair, from personal experience I can say that if you really want to work there are jobs out there even for people of my advanced years.

I am not sure if it covers your area but the job centre in Wrexham holds a central register, when I needed a job I would phone nearly every day to make sure I had an early chance at anything going.

I hope you have some luck, "Nil Illegitemi Carborundum"

Hi Matt

I don't know if it's any help but the camo HBT coveralls were issued to some troops in the ETO but were soon withdrawn after a no of troops were shot due to mistaken identity as the SS camo suit was very similar.

Cheers

Degsy

Can anybody tell me appropriate markigs and colour of a DUKW in British service in NW Europe ie Cleve/Emmerich/Goch in 1945.

Cheers

Degsy

Hi Spood

The usual N.Wales gang will be there hopefully with a couple of new members.

I can thoroughly recommend this sjow to anyone who has not been before.
