Thanks for posting that link. To my view there is a sense of relief in all the expressions, a 'That's it, let's go home' feeling. Looks odd with both sides appearing to cooperate help each other along. My German is unfortunately rather dismal so couldn't read the comments. Any idea where this was filmed? Where were they going, and where from?

Thank you both, I'll pass the info on.

Hi all, another question for you.

Over on CMN a pic has appeared of a military truck with what appears to be 19AE89 on it. What is it please?

Thread here, pic on page 254...

Thanks.

Just for future reference, is 'Envy Green' the same as 'Deep Bronze Green', or under these circumstances will any shade of green be acceptable?:-D

Love to see some pictures!

Thanks returned from CMN!:cheesy:

Much appreciated, I'll pass it on.

Thanks.

Hi, just passing on a question about the Welland Show from from the CMN website as I know nothing about tanks...

The Hetzer made by Skoda for the Germans during WW2 is as rare as the proverbial rocking horse do-do as is the howitzer version, can anybody give me the correct identity for the howitzer version?

Thanks, Rob.

Found this link, thought it might be of interest...

Taking a completely uneducated look at the photo from someone who knows nothing about tanks(!)... The two white dots could be a reflection of a lens or prism slightly set back from the aperture. Then if you stare at it for long enough the apertures could actually be convex, either covers or again, some sort of lens. Also, to the lower right of the turret there appears to be a large plate with 6 big rivets in it which looks like it would interfere with turret rotation. Sorry, that's the best I can offer.

I would take a guess at David Brown tractor underwear and a Boughton winch?

Link to a 6v-71, my go to link if you've not experienced one before.

There's a nice little Detroit on Fleabay. Hearing aids are available via the NHS...

A Metcalf with what looked like a Chieftain on board on the A37 going to the Bath and West Showground.

It's a shame they didn't unload these, put alongside the Commanders they'd have been a good lineup. I'd never realised how much of a good fit the Chieftain was on those trailers. These are at Truckfest Newbury.

You don't see any for ages, then two come along at once!

Found this thread by chance, some good pics of a MAN and Foden getting a workout and earning their keep.

Rygor Commercials, our local Mercedes truck dealer had a new red 6x6 version for sale about 3 years ago, I was getting my Leyland Daf MOTed there and asked why they had a Zetros for sale, the reply was that as Unimog dealers they also sold Zetros. It wasn't there long, I wonder who bought it and what use they put it to.

Probably not connected but Bracknell fire station had a 64 reg 3 axle Zetros parked in their yard today in full fire fighting kit. One of those 'Concorde' moments where something looks absolutely perfectly designed for what it's intended to do. No pics unfortunately as nowhere to park but if that's where it lives then I'll be waiting for the opportunity.

Firstly, apologies for the photo sizing, don't know what went wrong there.

There was a detail card with the QL but the only bit I remember was that it was exmil, then at Morecombe Fire Station.

The Zetros is apparently Australian Army although how it ended up at a truck show in the UK is anyone's guess.

The lowloader and handler are RAF. Shame they were put in such a position that after 20 minutes had completely defeated me on getting a decent pic! Who decided that plywood was a good idea to stop that lot sinking into the grass???:wow:

Wheel tapper?

A while ago I did find one of these in a scrap yard in Somerset. civy reg no., and I was told it had a 1600cc diesel in it.

Don't ask me where the yard was as I have no idea, but I do know there was three yards next to each other belonging to different members of the same family! Might jog someones memory?

You saying a different take on the norm reminds me of a diorama model some one made that was on display in the modelling tent at duxford military vechiles show a few years back of some socripons that fell of a low loader on the m1 I think crouch recovery bid the recovery wish I had picture of diorama may be some one on hear has?

That feels a bit ghoulish, I seem to remember several fatalities in that one.

Differs very much from the norm. Makes me wonder about the builders history or family connections with that era or scenario.
