    Re-listed for £150.00.

    I know someone who is collecting parts to make a replica Mk1 I was also offered a Gun Carrier once but never got the opportunity to see it so quite if it ever existed is questionable.

    Nothing to do with Number 19 Sets as they did not exist in 1940 and it is for a generator rather than a specific radio set. It would be used on sets like my 1940 1260 watt Onan which is for sale.

    WW1 Howitzer

    REME 245 replied to Antony's topic in MV Chatter

    Its degree of originality would preclude interest from most of the big Artillery collectors although I am sure most already know. Probably best for dressing a scene either in a Museum of Living History or possibly on a plinth somewhere.

    WW1 Howitzer

    REME 245 replied to Antony's topic in MV Chatter

    Is there a reason why no price has been quoted here? Is it all original as it looks in almost too good condition.

    One of the best sources for up to date information on this is the UK Deactivated Firearms Face Book Page, but basically the EU Committee Meetings on these proposals have now been held with various parties/organisations allowed to submit their views. We await there conclusion on the various submissions. Anyone who thinks the UK will chose not to comply with any EU Law has got there heads in the clouds as we are probably one of the most compliant members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1599781843592857/?fref=nf

    Ashcollections example is the gutted Gate Guardian from Bordon.

    Plenty seem to be coming up when you google.

    The rails are being lifted now but interestingly there are reports of proposals to use part of the site for vehicle storage again.
  10. REME 245
    Do you mean Humber LRC.
  11. REME 245
    Only a couple handed in recently by ex-cadets. Send me a message with any offers but I would prefer collection. Obviously not expecting much judging from the replies.
  12. REME 245
    This early version or the later one?
  13. REME 245
    Can anyone identify this bag please? I am assuming possibly it went with the first green pattern of PLCE Webbing? If indeed they are worth anything they are available to raise funds for my Cadet Detachment.

    The Episcope was used in the Daimler Armoured Car's but was it also used on Tanks?
  15. REME 245
    Are you saying from personal experience that you definitely know they are still in the system? The story I was told from an official source was that when they decided to field them in the First Gulf War they found the rubber parts had deteriorated in storage past a point where they were safe to use and a lot of money was spent having fittings and hoses made up at short notice.
  16. REME 245
    I would be very surprised if they would not want a visible aperture cut out of the pressure vessel on the Tank. Makes you wonder what happened to the war-time Lifebuoy ones they refurbished for the 1st Gulf War and then decided it was not very PC if indeed legal to use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamethrower,_Portable,_No_2

    MG's also took dual gauges providing the threads are match. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/MG-Midget-Oil-Pressure-Gauges/33676/bn_1291421/i.html

    Badge is 19th Brigade.

    I was looking at a Humber side valve engine straight out the crate in sky Blue on Friday, rebuilt by the Rootes Group in 1956, so as Wally has commented eau-de-nil did not last long in use.
  20. REME 245
    That's what I wanted to hear because in 35 years in this hobby I have listened to many people having this conversation and none have been able to quote something like this. Only which layer of paint came first which on rebuilt engines is not proof. I would also say even in magazines like Wheels and Tracks they have shown rebuilt engines not in this colour so I don't think we can say it was universal by 1945.
  21. REME 245
    What evidence is there that eau-de-nil was used during WW2? With so many workshops / engineering concerns reconditioning engines during WW2 getting a standard colour must have proved problematic. 1950's definitely and many rebuilt Daimler engines are painted in this colour, but I would like to see a documentry evidence or a colour picture of WW2 use.

    The war-time Canadian Gaskets were made out of an Asbestos Material.
  23. REME 245
    If it was Peter he has no more.
  24. REME 245
    Before I go to the trouble of having some made, does anyone have a source for head gaskets for these generators? The war-time Canadian ones seem to have been made of an asbestos material.

    If you don't mind paying a silly price try here. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/NOS-LUCAS-PLC2-IGNITION-LIGHT-SWITCH-FORD-BEDFORD-BMC-344920-/251637641241?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a96c5b019#ht_306wt_1348 http://geros1968.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=80&sa=X&ved=0CCQQ9QEwB2oVChMIj7Gzp8_5xgIVZAjbCh1IGwf
