Nice to see Champs, back in the early sixties a yard in Oxford, advertised 'runners' for a fiver ( yep, five quid ). About the same time Which magazine recommended ex army Champs as , best value 4x4.

So why didn't I get a few and stick 'em in the barn.

1. Posted to Singapore

3. Hind sight, 100%.

Try 'Red House Carriage Museum, Matlock, Derbyshire. They may know something or someone.

Well Wakefield's 'Special Clinic' certainly dealt with burning....but only in a certain part of the body!

Would the card have been written by , a pox doctors clerk ?

BillyH

Yes some interesting vehicles, Champ had registration 66BF00, who owns it. Do you drive it yourself or hand it over to an actor.

BillyH

Has anyone ever seen, heard of, or used their ferret mk2 turret to crane the spare or the wheels from their hubs? Just thought it may have been tried as a field fix? Also, ever notice how a toilet plunger mounted where the gun protrudes makes them look like a really mean, four wheeled DALEK? (DR Who 50th anniv after all.)

Cheers, Drew

OK let's see some photos of your DALEK or we ExteMinaTe.

BillyH

You have done a great job on that little truck. What a wonderful retirement present for your dad.

BillyH

Malkara ?? do you mean Ikara, torpedo launcher ? last time I was there (6 months ago ) it was at bottom of the stairway.

BillyH.

Now that's what I call a motor bike, pity it has to be pushed by bloke on a treadler

I would swear that film was made in black and white, is it impact of the drama or just old age ?

BillyH

When they are all bright and shiney and sewn onto your coat. Get a 'Button Stick' it keeps the Brasso of your cloth.

At Ballykelly, 1965/7 we were issued these for detachments to Norway and Iceland, made sleeping on a Shackleton MR2 easier..

BillyH...

In Staffordsire they hang poo bags in trees, whats that all about?

Smashing pics of the biggest toy box. Pity these old boys think they will live forever and an historic wreck is worth what the Army payed for one shiny new from the factory gate. Old boys will pop clogs one day. All that stuff will be weighed in for a few quid a ton, pure averice.

FILET CREVETTE. Shrimp Net. I like shrimps, cooked in butter and a little dry white wine. But why the nets are camoflaged, do the shrimps have such good eyesight ?
