PPL(H). Nice, I wanted to do that about 20 years ago but after the first lesson I had to admit that £180 an hour was too much for me :cry: One day maybe

 

Hi Paul - tell me about it - I flew 88 hours - could have brought a Sherman for that!!!

Wish I had!!!

Hi Vince - good to hear from you.

Cheers for the info. I will have a look and see if I can post pics of the Ward on here.

Never really found out about the whine as it stopped since you and Mike kindly took the front prop off at W&P last year.

I suspect driving from Dover to Northfleet with the front drive engaged didn't really help matters.

In my defence - for those who will roll over laughing - it is a fact that the connecting rod from the front axle declutching lever to the front axle was missing. Not having driven a vehicle of this age before - I didn't know any different. I thought it was supposed to sound that bad. Doh! :whistle:

I have sorted the head gasket and electrical charging fault now. The Ward drives really well and doesn't sound to bad. I am painting it at the moment and getting ready to apply stencils. Should look pretty good when it's done.

Cheers Vince.

Ok - dumbfounded - :dunno:

Would any of you geen machine owners be able to state -

"in simple terms"

How to post pics on to the site!!!

Or should this question be in the "I know it's a stupid question" topic. Ha ha

Many thanks

Hi, Nice chopper :naughty: :whistle:

Is it yours?

 

Yeah - I wish. :-D

I was taking my PPL(H) - so I got to fly around in this Bell 206 - Opted for turbine rather than a piston engine - cause I know how opten piston engines stop for no reason. Ha, ha.

Anyways - as soon as I work out how to download pics - I will put the Ward on here. :?

cheers

I am looking for a new parking space for the Ward - can ya keep your eyes and ears open.

Cheers

Hi all greenie owners.

Thought I would say hi. I was introduced to this site by a friend of mine - Mike - "hi Mike."

Like Mike, I own a Ward la France M1A1 and like all other MV owners - sometimes I wish I didn't!!! :cry:

I have started to paint the beast in the correct WW11 colours - I think it's the correct shade anyway.

Anyway - any chance of a Historic Military Vehicles Forum area at The War and Peace show - would be a good intro to the forum for newbies - Just a thought.

Haven't had time to explore site yet but looks good.

Speak to you all soon.

Regards

Mark Hart :-D
