    This is the other one. I have spotted a mark inside the helmet, i can't quite make it out looks like 1015j? The liner is 1955 i think.

    here are some photos of one of them. I cannot see if there is a marking in the helmet as the is quite a lot of paint. Im not sure of the age of the liner on this one.

    I am considering selling one off two ww2 us helmets to fund for my bike. They are in need of a restoration and have post-war liners. One has MP and the white stripe going around it (although it has been painted over once) the other is just green and slightly miss-shaped. I was wondering, on average, what they are worth now in this sort of condition. Pictures available if necessary

    have been doing a lot of cleaning. Engine and clutch has been taken apart, most bearings were ceased so they need replacing. Water has leaked into the clutch making a sludge of oil and corrosion. Had a lot of trouble getting the piston ring, they were completely ceased with carbon I have also bought several spares including: Piston rings Bearings Primary drive chain Spark plug Ht lead New coil new condenser clutch corks gaskets

    (not sure if this one has been said but..) On The Dirty Dozen as they are exiting the Château a ferret done in German colours with a turret like piece on top tries to stop them. On 633 squadron on the training missions where one accidentally crashes into the cliff the officers get into what seems like a land rover partly obscured by a bush. On the film Catch-22 an m38 jeep is used. On Battle of the Bulge several m38s are used aswel

    On the back of some it has 1951, but on the one with the land rover and the jeep next to each other it is 1952

    nice thread Took these last year of Lavenham Airfield

    I believe the tap is complete it just needs a new cork but i think i can get 3 for £5 on Ebay. As i found the pump on tilly's is very similar, the only difference i can see is the location of the thread on the base and the shape of handle.
  22. MHillyard
    id never heard of these vehicles but im beginning to love them
  23. MHillyard
    It looks slightly diferent to those vehicles but i am not expert, there seem to be small deferences. This person had several other photos, the other nice one is of them in front of a horsa glider
  24. MHillyard
    Found this photo, it came with several others, but i found it rather interesting. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have no ideas why no turrets are on these so if anyone know i would be interested to hear from you.

    A coat of green has been put on the frame and other parts just so i can see the extent of what i have. I found that half the original tank pump was still in the tank, this has lost the pump and the valve has been damaged. I dug up an old paraffin lamp and used parts from that to make a temporary pump. The only thing that is not right is the shaped of the pump grip. I also removed the tank valve and gave it a clean up.
