Hiya all,

On my new QL the chassis tag says the following:

10 XX 28.

36 12 2.

In this order.

Would anyone be able to date what batch she's from and any other info??

Cheers

Danny

Thanks mate,

Hiya Lee,

I have sent him one on the email on the Daimler home page. Is he away at the moment?

I think I have sent him on here. If you see him could you pass on my message please.

Thanks

Danny

I am trying to trace this member, singaeger he has not been on here for a long time but has got a good web page on the Daimler armoured car.

I spoke to him sometime ago but has seems to not be around. If anyone knows him can they get him to email me on burt.danny@yahoo.co.uk or PM me on here.

Thanks for all your help.

Danny

Thanks guys,

You never know what is out there!!!! But one day it will all dry up!!!

Cheers

Just wondering before I dive into something else are there many spares knocking around....Engine, Manlet, gun rims. Top deck etc???? Need to check first before going onwards. I know there is a few sites with brake parts etc.

Thanks,

Danny

Hiya all,

I have been informed by a good friend that there was a Sherman on a range in corsica. I was over there the other week and saw loads of AMX 13s had a good look tho...

The Sherman showed in a mag a few years back. any idea of this pic??

Any help please let me know.

Thanks

Danny

Thanks guys......And I was joking about the Sherman lol and there is M10s and a Churchill will be busy this week........

Thanks mate,

I will let you know if there is anything. You should have my letter soon. Did you have any joy with them pics and getting in touch with the two contacts???

Cheers

Danny

Off to RAF Tain for a week with work. Any interesting targets up there. Please say a Sherman. No such luck, someone told me there is some dingos or something like that?

Any help or info on these?

Hiya Guys,

Sorry been away for abit. That pics help alot. But to be honest I am still none the wiser of the old girls ID and age!!!! The engine plate is that far gone I will have to wait. I am going to get a few pics soon and place them on the forum. As the project is through the REME there is a few interested parties and hopefully be some good press for the unit helping out.

Will post thm on here once completed.

Cheers

Danny

Thanks mate,

I am away with work for two weeks but will get some pics sorted!!! Its interesting all that info, I am hoping the old girl is a old CAT that has had the attachment added.

Cheers

Danny :laugh:

Hiya all,

Is there any CAT boffin's out there. I am after info on a CAT D6 all I can tell you (As the engine tag is that far gone!) Is it has a No29 Winch or pulley block on the back. I have been told these types were used for recovery on beaches on D-Day for knocked out LCTs and DDs in the water.

If anyone can add to this it would really help, I am a little out of depth on this one and I am hoping there is a subject matter expert out there!!!!

Thanks for looking.

Danny

Hiya Robin, all,

You know me well already, sorry if its not that clear, its basically if there is a department in the US still around that had ownership on Shermans, like a Ministry of Supply or something like that?

Shipping to the UK is in the plan, Eddy if you read this you can see my plan developing!!!! Ha Ha. :cheesy:

Any further help would be good.

Cheers

Danny

Hiya all,

Can anyone help? Is there a company still going either government department or US Army department that would of dealt with the Ownership, supply and distribution of Shermans to UK or Europe.

Thanks

Danny

Unsure what you mean mate, explain please???

Danny

The CVRT is a Strugeon - Salamander. This is a Spartan with aload of crap bolted on to replicate a Russian vehicle, BMP etc. OPFOR are the bad guys and is normally played by a 'Cav' Squadron.They are a bloody pain getting chased by one when you are in a dismounted OP!!Hope this helps.

Danny

Still on for that brew but stuck for wheels, so if you maybe get to Leeming the week after next can meet you at the main gate one evening. Let me know if you can mate, cheers. If anyone can help interested to see will start with a rusty old chassis trailer!!!CheersDanny

Will PM later mate.

Can anyone help, have contacts or just guidance for shipping a military classic vehicle from Halifax-UK.

Just thought someone may have a back load or similar happening.

Thanks

Dan

Mate,

It will be easy to get his service record and info on him. Will be over next month for that brew. Will give you all the relevant people to contact. Could find out if he was on D-Day! That would be easy.

Cheers

Dan

Back along a picture was put on here of a MW smashed to pieces by a road in Malta. Believe it was taken by someone on holiday.

Does anyone know where this thread is?

Thanks

Looking at getting a CMP Ford in mid Year. Good chassis but no cab or fuel tank.

If no one can help it will be a trip to Mains scrap yard see if anything is left there.

Cheers for looking.

Danny

First Merry festive season to you all!!!

Later on this year I am looking at getting a few WW2 trucks to add to the collection. This will most likely be a MW and a Ford Chevy.

I'm just throwing it out there has anyone got the spares, bull nose, GS bodies, cab, doors etc. If anyone can help I will PM a list when they turn up. Or if anyone can help with tech - data info please let me know.

Thanks for your help.
