Saw this one at Duxford IWM show last week ! Is it the same type as yours ? :-D

just about but its a GS not FFR. the one I have is FFR. the GS was only 12volt, the FFR is 12 volts and 24 volts

Thanks Mike, sorry ment HGV

I did look into getting it down plated but with the Missile racks, Missiles, radio kit,batterys, that bolt in the back

this will be hard.

dont mind its HGV just dont wont a tug from the old bill over some taxation or class point :stop:

:nono: It's not on you know! Regardless of how you feel, you must NOT try to intimidate the MOT inspector!

would not do that :cool2:

What does it actually say on the VL5? In theory that's what is on the big disc somewhere in Wales.

its PLG on the v5, but would be class 7 for the mot as its 3600kg

back end now in place, hope to paint this at the weekend.

some nice kit for the back

thanks for the replys. big help

thanks for the reply Alec, this 127 is about 3 weeks off from the MOT man, if they spot the 3600kg on the plate could they move this up to the next type of MOT ? as its over 3500kg ?

Hi Clive yes remember your post about Orange William now. good post, back to the film clip think this would give a health and safty consultant nightmares for a year :cool2:

some good info here adout the Thunderbird missile

Yes looked like that to me.

 

The "missile so secret", in fact did have a name - Malkara

 

Hmm & Thunderbird I have a radar target simulator trailer for that in the garden, part of Yellow River

was just about to send you a PM about that Clive, could only see the Malkara out line, just like the wee photo on all your post.
