Yes, I got back this morning and I did manage to see you although I was going the other way, awesome trip made special by the old Soldiers.

One to remember.

Love that truck.........and the WC63 :-D

Smashing pictures, many thanks.Steve

Welcome in, yes as said,

photos would be great to see. Best of luck with your findings too.

I used to put a bamboo cane under the canvas to keep it up and stop the pooling........cheap too!

Try 'Gillings of Diss' they had some new ones in stock 2 years ago......

Ah so that's what that is on my shelf............a lower guy assembly

If anyone wants it it is surplus to me

Hi Steve, thanks for the warm welcome! I live close to Warrington/Liverpool/Manchester areas, I do have transport of my own which is helpful. Regards Adrian

Thanks Adrian, I am sure there are some heavies up there.:cheesy:

Welcome in Adrian, very nice intro. I am sure you will be useful to several on here, it would be nice to know what part of the country you are in for those that may need you. Thanks Steve

and its Good Afternoon to you, welcome

That made me laugh. Welcome:cheesy:

Arrived back today....excellent job and very good price too.

 

Thanks Snort for the lead.

Glad to help and thanks for letting us know it went well.

All the best.Steve

Have you a picture of it?

That looks well worth the effort, great looking vehicle, now enjoy it:cheesy:

Well, what I meant is, it would be nice if my tank was worth the same as a Spitfire V is now!

Ah, now I see Adrian. Thought you wouldn't want the value to drop that much. however to have a Spitfire V in there...................that would be nice:cheesy:

Somewhere I have a list of prices paid by the US government for the various medium tanks, the only one that sticks in my memory was $69,000 for the M4A4. This was equivalent to £17,000, roughly the same as a Mk V Spitfire in 1942, it would be nice if the current values were the same!

Except the stuff in your shed wouldn't be worth as much!

Welcome in, I am sure you will learn a lot from here, as I have

I thought yellow was for Hydraulic oil ?

Your English is fine, Welcome in.:-)

Had a Bedford MW done like yours and had no problems , so should be OK:-)

I will look out for you in Normandy!!

0n his card (which is an old one) it says 'Priced at £3.00 per inch across diameter' if that helps.

I think he is retired now but still does the odd ones.

There'

s a Chap in Mepal, Cambs. that does it, was that quote from him..........or do you want his number?

I promised earlier in the thread to drop a note to the contact I have in the DVLA about the person with responsibility for military vehicles

I had an email back this morning to the effect that they were not aware of anybody with that responsibility, but were going to check and get back to me

The plot thickens.................................

 

Good news about the M38 (pleased to have helped) ....................the system does work!!!

Yes, I thought that suspicious, also as the name was withheld.........Walter Mitty no doubt

Does anyone know how many of these were made for the Military?
