Hi all.

Im off to Lingfield show on the 2nd and 3rd August with the Ward La France.

Anyone else going?

Markheliops

Crikey - you lot have memories like elephants!!!

Markheliops

Thanks mate.

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.

Markheliops

It is I....:-D

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

I can change it back mate, want your old name back?

Hi Joris - yes - if you would be so kind - only I don't want people to get the wrong impression mate - you understand!!!

Oh and Jack - I got the Fireman thing a long time ago but decided not to raise the issue - after all - who am I to squash peoples dreams. LOL.

Dave - where are the pics of the other turret totty? and where are my "private pics". Ta

Markheliops

Is it brown or is it black?

Fireperson

Its a black plastic one.

I have a big truck match by an equally big grin.

I thank you.

Markheliops

PS - I have some pictures of the Saturday night - if anyone is interested!!!!

Nearly forgot -

2 man artic tent as used by the Royal Marines - £50 -(will sell eventually)

New Bedford NATO tow hitch - £20

New water jerry can - £8

10m x 3 m tent from Lee / Ian and group - £210

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

You dont expect TTM to be under the truck do you - not feasable.

Is that all?He had a lot more than that floating around.Anyone got any pics of Saturday night in the beer tent?.

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).

Hi Tony.

WLF in Africa during WWII - with our boys if Im not mistaken.

Markheliops

PS - Tony - great pictures - any chance of firing them over to me. Thanks mate.

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.

Hi Simon -

I put a thread on here - looks like Howards old DAF is back up for sale. Will try and find it for you. Pretty much an M54 with different cab.

Markheliops

With a "few" hours rotary flying experience - I always get a chill down my back when I hear a turbine firing up - Love the sound of a huey - unmistakable noise.

Lovely machine - oh if I had the money -

Markheliops

Hey Howard -

Is this your old motor up for sale - again - by the recent new owner - can't imagine why he wants to sell - he' s only just brought it.
