Hi. This marking was used by HMS Vectis, Cowes on the Isle of Wight. We have an MWD on the IOW that was "Left behind" after the war that served at HMS Vectis. During restoration this marking was found. However no Gtee is was not used elsewhere. HMS Vectis was involved in the naval planning for D-Day.......so presume it was a Naval marking

Another WW2 photo which shows the boxes My MWR is the same as this. Rgds

The glacial restoration of my MWR continues and as the refurb of the 19 set installation is approaching the end, my thoughts are turning to the furniture in the back of the truck.

I attach some photos of the back of an MWR in WW2. The rear boxes do have lips. The boxes on my MWR have the lips you describe.

Richard try Chris Morter in Wymondham. Worth a try.

Hendon is moving bits and bobs to Cosford.......just a thought

We look forward to seeing you at Havenstreet this year...

I did the same on my MWR. I have also noticed that some MW owners fit a non return valve after the tank selector to stop the petrol running back to the tanks. Demon Tweeks do them and I am thinking of fitting one. Not original but would help to solve the problem and you will not see it as it is hidden away. Just a thought.

Enigma Hut advertise a reproduction Enigma Machine. Does any one know how much they are as they do not seem to reply to emails. I understand they had a stall at Stoneleigh. Any thoughts?

May be the site owners will invest in more Toilet and Shower Blocks as the WPR Team have signed up for five years of shows.

Would please very many vehicle owners and punters for sure.

We have used Penrite Gear Oil - Trans Oil 140 in both gear box and diff for many years. It is designed for vintage vehicles and has no additives to damage yellow metal bearings, shims etc. ie it is not a Hupoid type oil. We have had no problems with our MWD, MWR , OSS and QL Bedfords using this.

Same Team that bought it from Rex. They were at Stoneleigh yesterday. They said the basic layout from the previous shows at Beltring remains the same.

FOR SALE Two Soviet Black out headlights. New old Stock. Stamped CCCP. £60 inc postage to UK.

Richard, I think Airfix got the wrong tanks in the box top artwork....? Rgds Simon

Wanted, NOS, Used, Re Buildable a Bedford MW Steering Box. Will be at Stoneleigh next weekend if you have one.

Thanks for looking.

Phil, Very sorry to hear this. He inspired many of us to get in to the hobby. A true Gentleman. RIP

Kind Regards Simon T.

Thanks for this. Have sent you a PM. Regards

Thanks Ian. Both are the same as they fit the Lucas M45G /P23-0 starter that the MWD/MWR uses. I am hoping that someone has a used serviceable or NOS one at a sensible price. I appreciate your coming back to me.

WANTED a Lucas 764251 starter switch. This bolts on to the back of the starter on a Bedford MW to enable the cable pull to start the engine. New or serviceable will help. Thanks.

Pat Ware and Ian Young did a great job at CMV and MMI. It is a pity the Publisher did not listen to it's readers. The MVT's Windscreen is now a good magazine under Ian Young's Editorship and will take readers away from CMV for sure.

Wanted. A couple of brass floats for the Zenith Vig 30 / Vig 30-5 Carb. NOS or used serviceable. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Good Luck.
