Fine museum but total lack of promoting an MV day, last year half of the museum was closed, indiferent attitude of some of the staff, mv owners that did show outnumbered the public...they need a major rethink to survive

These ones..decontaminator mounting brackets?

The point you are missing is the landowner/Farmer is probably being threatened with prosecution by his local authority for storing scrap vehicles, deemed as waste, leaking oil and pollutents, on his agricultral land without a waste licence, and not complying with the criteria for storage of waste, ie, on a concrete base with oil and pollutent drain traps, The farmer is held resposible for clearing up his land. Gone will be the days when old vehicles are found on farms, this also applies to having a derilect or dismantled vehicle in your own garden/driveway if the council declare it as waste

I show the complete original film of "Operation Pluto" in my Mobile cinema, The 16mm film was saved from going in to a skip by a film enthuiast, it was thought to be an old cartoon film as it had Pluto written on the can! Its fascinating showing tests of winding steel tube onto a drum, from an idea put forward by Lord Mountbatten, its subsequent construction and the welding process and testing involved, come and see the film at W&P show and others next season

The Humber armoured car (Pig) was already being phased out of service and sold off when this Landrover film was made in circa 1967? The MOD susequently started buying them back to overhaul and re armour for use in Northern Ireland

Thanks for finding it, just the type of film I want to show in my mobile cinema
