    Rick is right, This happened to me on my first drive down to W & P show, from Oxford fine, got to Clacket lane services and ..........lots of smoke, rear brakes locked on! only way to release was to let the pressure out of the rear joint. On inspection I found the tiny hole that is the pressure relief port was completely blocked so the cylinder pressurised its self! Jules

    Thank you Richard, so the best tip is to check the tyre condition of any potential purchase! Jules

    No Les, I just wanted to try and make a list of all the different types in RAF use, and gauge what restored examples exist. Jules

    I thought it would be useful if we could start a thread on WW2 Vehicles used by the RAF, Having recently watched a documentry on Bomber Command, there was a good selection of RAF crew 'buses', tractors, Radio/Radar trucks & refuellers. So, how about uploading pictures of vehicles in RAF use during 1939 - 45 ? or some recent restorations! Over to you Jules

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out what the medal entitlement is/was for an old friend of mine, now sadly gone, I don't believe he ever recieved any awards, His was awarded the DFC but this was given by the King in 1945, He never had any of the stars or War & defence medals, what can I do ? Jules

    Thanks for that photo Jaap, it is interesting to see how the mast is stowed, I bet there is an instruction book out there somewhere showing just that ! Jules

    I am sorry to report the death this morning of another of 'The Few' Wing Commander Bob Doe, a true Gent who will be sadly missed. I have spent several interesting hours in his company over recent years. R.I.P Bob. Jules

    Tim, Good Question! I sent months researching my 1943 RAF WOT2 Radar Truck, and concencus of opinion was to be the Late 1942 period colours of Dark Brown and Service Brown, (same as the WOT1 Fire Tender) I thnk you will find that the picture of the Tilly, is actually a dark print and what looks 'black' is actually Very Dark Brown. The Jeep question has also interested me, I have a feeling that they would have been all over RAF Service Brown, but again the only colour photo's of RAF Jeeps I have seen are in Desert Sand! Lets hope someone has the answer. Jules

    Sorry, could someone point me in the direction of downloading a manuel for the Wartime Chore Horse ? I need to start overhaulling mine. Jules

    I think I know the answer to this question.........but just in case I don't..............Did the RAF use Morris Commercial 15cwt CS8's ? Jules

    Does any one know anyone with a WW2 RAF Queen Mary ? Anyone have any leads of any about. I'm thinking that I could combine my love of Aeroplanes and Military Vehicles! What a sight, a nice Commer and Queen Mary set up with a Lanc Fuselage ! Or any nice photo's Jules

  22. thedawnpatrol
    Can anyone give details of when and what vehicles had the head lamp covers, why just one side ? All service vehicles ? What was the official line? Jules
  23. thedawnpatrol
    Hi Tony I might be interested, given the date. Jules
  24. thedawnpatrol
    I thought some might be interested to see just how many men it takes to erect a light warning aerial!

    Surely there is no need to re write history for the sake of a dogs name! This is our history and it should be told as it was, I for one do not see a problem! Jules
