    Beg to differ young Grasshopper - The quick release valve is situated just behind the front winch on the chassis crossmember - Check your manual young man - thats a beer you owe me. Markheliops

    Hold - stop the press - The Wards __**_*_ broken again - holy mother of ---jam. Went to organise bits and pieces today and when I moved the Ward I applied the brakes and she dumped air from somewhere at the front. Wonder if the quick release valve diaphram is holed? Well thats Lingfield messed up then - won't be there after all - sorry Mark. Fed up with this -

    Hi Grumpygit - I wouldn't rule out an FV432 - free fuel, low maintanence, easy to drive, pretty bomb proof, road legal. Cheaper to purchase too. Downside - Weight 15 tons - so if you are going any distance - it's a low loader. Then again - I completed 150 miles for one show. Markheliops

    As far as I am aware, there is no problem towing a 10 ton trailer with a NATO tow hitch - I presume you are referring to a Bedford type size rather than a Landie tow hitch? In the services, TM's and most of the green fleet were fitted with NATO tow hitch. All manor of trailers were towed using NATO tow hook including 10 ton tilt trailers and 20 ton plant trailers.

    On our way around the stalls, me and Lee saw Enigma's bike chained to the sellers tables as he left it there whilst he was doing something. Didn't stop us trying to buy it but the seller wouldn't let it go. Markheliops

    Thought I had a great buy - brand new tow rope for the 432 complete with shackles for £30 - then Lee told me he gave one away on the forum for free a couple of months ago. Wooden GPMG, canvas cover, spent case catcher, 7.62 link inert rounds, new GPMG mount for the 432, ammo box for the mount and two x 4 ammo cases for £300. Thanks Dave. Markheliops

    Agree with all the coments - I missed the ceremony despite Lee telling me to be at the arena as I was sorting out my Mum - Well done Jack the Mods and all HMVF members - Markheliops
  17. Markheliops
    You dont expect TTM to be under the truck do you - not feasable.
  18. Markheliops
    I hope not!!!

    Top pictures everyone - I took my camera but didn't take a single picture - too busy. If anyone has pics of me and the Ward can you throw them my way - Many thanks. Markheliops

    Okay - I just know this is asking for trouble - But I seem to have aqquired a new forum name - Any of you IT boffins know anything or should I be asking a certain mod. (I feel like I am standing in front of a firing squad). MARKHELIOPS

    Never mind holding a bl--dy shovel - he needs to be holding a spanner. Sorry for Mike but no worries - we at WLF Towers will have the thing sorted and back to gether come War and Peace. I have a transfer box on the spare Ward so myself and the tall one + the short one will be getting down to it - again. I know how Mike feels - obviously - but he is always upbeat about these things so no problems. Should have it sorted by Sunday evening and the tall ones truck will line up at WLF Towers with the other two Wards. See you at War and Peace. Markheliops
