  1. There has been quite a few Berliet TBU Wreckers privatley imported to the UK since the Alvis one, including this one above
  2. until
    Capel, Surrey, 3 day Military show, entries now open https://www.capelmilitaryshow.com/
  3. More spiralling costs make the Show no longer viable https://www.facebook.com/GreatDorsetSteamFair https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-67454247
  4. The Champ Brake Master cylinder is the same as Mk2 Jaguar
  5. The REO driver is apparently suffering from Mental Health issues
  6. Canadian 4x2 Dodges, right hand drive, and a Ford WOA2 Staff car
  7. Certainly looks like its a car body on a Jeep chasis, they are Jeep axles and wheels, another Jeep wheel in the background...I.'ve seen similar pictures of re bodied Jeeps after the war
  8. A lot of jeeps post war were converted to 12v and and often a larger dynamo fitted, leaving no room for a large battery in the tray so it was moved to between front seats, this was for military radio use
  9. Entries closed in May, as they had reached capacity so unlikely they allow any late entries in.
  10. Yes, practical to go to Normandy but its not authentic or accurate,
  11. Why would a military hillman minx that carried an Officer and a briefcase need a roof rack? I don't recall seeing any wartime photos of one, .. the Desert equiped Humber Snipe had a roof rack, but then it would need it in the desert
  12. I thought the 4x4 drive on the Bedford JT was a conversion fitted by the All Wheel Drive company, there were some other converters too, it was not made by Bedford
  13. Follow the build up to this years show, https://www.facebook.com/CapelMilitaryShow/
  14. All ww2 Bantam trailers had a straight Lunette tow hitch, the Cranked hitch was Post war modification so the hitch could be rotated to allow the trailer to be towed by other vehicles of higher tow hook height than a jeep, and as you say with the lunette in the lower position makes a better angle for the trailer behind a jeep
  15. The Bermondsey tank now https://www.milweb.net/webvert/a6379/103082
