Whilist whoever came up with concept was definitley on some mind altering experience.

Welcome Ralf.

VOSA Intelligence department. !!!!!!! :nut:

Have you tried the Series 1 club? http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/ very useful for spares as well. Ministry of Supply purchased and allocated vehicles for a number of Goverment uses.

Just to be doubly sure if you copy the De Ac certificate mark it clearly COPY. Read the words on the bottom of the original.

Oh Thanks Rosie! Remind me I could do with shedding a few pounds! :blush: Happy Christmas. I have been given a Gift Certificate for Amazon! AHHHH! Like being let loose in the World's Biggest Sweet Shop. :-D

You do realise that you now awakened the Curse? :shocked:

Bernard has far to much time on his hands! His design for an Air Assualt Robin does not seem to be going to well.

Absolute joy around here on Christmas Eve! What bus routes wern't on diversion for fallen trees were dodging water and obsticales. To cap it all about 14:30 all trains out of Victoria and Charing Cross were stopped at Orpington. Must have been 7 or 8 hundred people mulling about, having been helpfully told 'Buses are honuring your tickets'. So a number of very upset people demanding 'Take me to Brighton!'.

DON'T know Chertsey? :wow: Used to be known as MVEE Military Vehicle Enginnering Establishment. Design and testing of vehicles and famously the Chobham Armour used on British Tanks. .

At least it won't blow away!

Welcome in Martin

I second Enigma, be Bl**dy carful mate! England, and Wales, has come to a grinding halt with just rain and wind over the last 12 hours.

This is a great site for orginal pictures. http://www.greatwar.nl/

Thanks for clarity,

I've had a couple of odd ones claiming to be from Amazon. There is easy to tell as the email adress isn't even corect. So how do they get here?

Richard, there eveidence tucked away in the London Transport Musuem Archive that a number, around 100 if I remember , X types were available and sent over to France with LGOC drivers in September /October 1914 for use with the Royal Marines expeditionary force to Antwerp on the 3rd October 1914. The subsequent withdrawl led to some vehicles being captured by German forces. Most of the paperwork is various letters cablegrams and odd memos. Seems to have been almost a spur of the moment thing. in the book First Men in Tanks, can't remeber the full title, it mentions a couple having boiler plate fitted. Post some pictures of your beast!

Dosen't NORAD plot Santa's track and post it up on the internet? Hope the guys got floats and a large wind anchor for UK.

Some manufactures had interchangable bodies at the time. Bus by day truck by night.

The so called B type bus, though many originaly used were the X type. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_General_Omnibus_Company

Isn't that the bar code attached to high value items?
