Intrestingly though. A couple of years ago the 10th Essex were doing a show at the RE Museum Chatham. I was tagging along do the jaw jaw bit with the visitors. One guy came in with his Grandson and daughter. He said to me, 'were only here for the boy really. Doubt the girl will be intrested but it passes half and hour'. A lot later I saw the girl, about 13 or 14 up at the war games table, she was still there about an hour later. I spoke to he granfather later he told me that once she had tried it , he couldn't get her away. She was totally absorbed in moving actual things about, being face to face with her opponents and having to roll dice and think about her moves, nothing set in a computer proggramme.

Wish I could find more excuses to drive mine. The more there driven the better they go.

Welcome along.

Next thing will be off road it, with the Jeep on the back!

I hope so! Grandaughter is due to drive us to the 100th Anniversary of D-Day!

Tell me I might not understand, show me I might not remember, involve me I will learn!

Ah we are a literate lot! Thank you Mon V!

How about this for a definition of Tender then? 'leaning or readily inclined to roll in response to the wind.' Less beans in the diet?

And God thought 'These guys are getting to clever, therefore I will intorduce LAND ROVER ELECTRICS!'

Just the right season for one. Though will be a lot of fun come Spring.

Oh yess PICCYS! Welcome in.

Why? The whole Great War lot is confusing badly signed and has nothing to make you think.

Ah the days of childhood! Rare vistis to the Science Musuem. Lots of levers to pull and buttons to press with clanking chains and ropes and bits of machinery moving. Now 'THEY' wonder why kids aren't intrested in enginnering! :nut:

Welcome in.

May have originated from the system of the early RFC to use Cavalry terms such a squadrons. Tenders , were Horse Holders in battle situations for Dragoons, who rode as Cavalry but fought as Infantary.

The 101 Land Rover was supposed to be a 105 prime mover.

Welcome Peter. Any particualr favourite in the feild?

Welcome in,. I don't envy you your job though. 'Cause EVERYONE knows, for instance, that Paris was bombarded by Big Bertha! Keep plugging someone will belive you.

I went there the other day and talked to one of the staff. I metioned that a lot of money had been spent, he looked quite smug and agreed. I then asked how much it had cost to ruin the musuem and collection. He didn't look so smug after that. At least the reading room survives.

Welcome in.

Welcome in, we do like most types of engines and large metal things.

Check earth and battery connections. Had something similar on my Dodge, turned out though the earth to chassis appeared tight, it was dirty underneath. Quick clean and refit no more problem.

Welcome in.

24th October 2014 is the 70th birthday of my Grand Old Dodge WC51 Weapons Carrier Ruby Baby! Join me in wishing her Many Happy returns, to Jersey, Normandy, belgium and all the other place in UK Europe. I hope we are as reliable and hard working when we get to 70.

Funny how one question and the list grows. I'll load my photos onto a stick and send them to you if you like. Any other odds he may want whilst I'm loading them?
