    Unfortunately cranes of this type and others appear fairly regularly in the UK with very little interest. The favourite one is the leyland Retriever which most people would convert back to a GS Truck if restorable.

    Does anyone know a source please for the diaphragms for these Accelerator Pumps. I don't particularly want to pay out £50.00 for a complete seal kit.

    From memory Clive I gave you a load of photograghs of these Pigs when they first went into the yard.

    The one on FB looks either partially or totally reproduction. The wheels and carriage in particular do not look like the normal British pattern. Either this or one of the many post-war patterns. The presence of a shield on a single 20mm mount also looks a bit unlikely on the discovered one.

    The big wheel marks had them. Not sure about any others.

    When is the museum goingt to be open on the new site?

    As the links to the MLUP Forum probably say, it depends on when your Carrier was built. Olive Drab did not officially come in until about May 1944 so one of the brown shades is probably a lot more likely than green. The official orders stated that vehicles were only to be repainted Green when there condition warranted it. No doubt unit personal preferences and the availabilty of the new colour also plasyed a part.

    You can have a copy Andy if of any use. I was with you in Holland last year.

    PM sent.

    Does anyone have any photograghs of the Daimlers which used to be in Pounds Scrap Yard? I remember one parked under the motorway bridge with a damaged wheel station.

    Is it on the CES List for 15cwt trucks, if not probably never carrier one. Every soldier carried a dressing so probably not required. There were small and large First Aid Tins normally associated with AFV's but may have been carried on Trucks.
  12. REME 245
    If you have a Cavalry one I may be interested.

    Without a date or WD or AM anywhere I would question if it is military. I would be surprised if there are not some more plates lurking somewhere. Unfortunately a lot of generators end up getting scrapped for the engine.
  14. REME 245
    Unless he has other parts hidden away, it just consists of a very rusty chasis and drive train. No body of any type when it was shown to me many years ago.
  15. REME 245
    If military the gauges are normally dated on Generators. They or the data plates will also have AM for Air Ministry if it is ex-RAF as suggested. What voltage does it produce? Workshop Trucks could be one application amongst many others.
  16. REME 245
    Presumably this is the standard Humber engine used across the Rootes Group so any of these manuals will supply the data you require.

    Do you know anyone who makes the rifle clips for the standard Infantry Bicycle? I have one of a batch which came out of Ireland some years ago.

    Desirability is just as important if not more than rarity. They don't always go hand in hand. Something which is big, saw little use and to the guys who like dressing up hard to portray accuracy, limits the market. Having said this looking at the silly prices which are being asked for a lot of British vehicles at the moment, providing it needs no major work, you would like to think it may reach £15,000 to £20,000.

    What's the availability like for British 11:20 Track Grip Tyres? I assume poor but the Avon's (?) found on Green Goddess Fire Engines will do if they are any easier.
  20. REME 245
    The Stationary Engine Forum will be able to advise you. The engines are standard Units. The pumps will be harder to find.
  21. REME 245
    Does anyone do a reprint of a T16 Manual?
  22. REME 245
    The 76mm Gun was used for years before the Health and Safety caught up with it. Quite if they could have fitted additional fans to alleviate the problem is questionable, but they must have missed having a gun in Afganistan that could knock down a building rather than knocking holes in it.
  23. REME 245
    Does anyone have one of these tools spare please used on British AFV's.
  24. REME 245
    Yes but there are some differences in parts and real Universal Carriers particularly British manufactured ones, price wise, are a lot more desirable than T16's which only saw service with Canadians in NW Europe.
  25. REME 245
    E-bay is probably the best place to achieve a good price. I assume this Bogie Unit is from a T16 as mentioning Universal Carrier in the same description could confuse some buyers. It is either T16 or Universal Carrier.
