Heard of BRIXMIS? SOXMIS was the Soviet equivalent. After ww2 the Comanders in Chief and the Red Army Commander in Chiefs started a liasion/ obsever organisation where by the Allies roamed around East Germany 'Under Diplomatic Protection', that became BRIXMIS and the Soviet's could roam aronud West Germany. The idea was to 'Develop friendship and trust', the result was 40 odd years of quietlly caried on mayhem. I'd recommend BRIXMIS by Tony Gerharty, half the exploits if you put in fiction , you'd never belive it.

Thanks for that! Now have to figure wether it is the genuine articale or not.

Welcome Declan.

Consulting the brains trust. I've aquired a mystery wrist watch that fits the description of a Germn WW2 issue wrist watch. The make is Swiss Recta. There s no letter before the serial number 552877, but inside the watch case are some odd markings . A tombstone shape with the letters CB properly engraved then ROST FREI STANL BODEN. Under that faintly scratched are a 9 with a line underneath then 11 an upside down arrow 4 also RED/57 10/2/60 Any help much appreciated. The winder is missing but the movment still works. The case is 33.9 mm wide, black face with radium hands small second face at bottom, fixed bars on case.

While I will probably regret this! The old saying goes 'If you want something done , ask a busy woman'. :-D

Welcome in!

Why should we be suprised? :-D

Welcome, though you've come to the wrong place for sympathy!

Welcome in Daz.

I'm inclined to agree I'm spoilt. When I brought Katy the WC54 back, the lady at Sidcup even went to a fair amount of trouble to see if I could get her original English registration back.

9TH May at about 19:00, a Consolidated Catalina PBY flying over Locksbottom in Kent. Made an otherwise lousy day.

Do DVLA get a cut of the phone charges? Maybe that's why thier shutting local offices. My local at Sidcup is great, walk in with paperwork, walk out with answers.

Welcome , big toys then?:-D

Welcome in. Save the Gipsy!

The brakes on the front truck worked, pity about the 400 tons and a push truck behind it.

Can't say I blame the driver of the push trick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nYKtTKZRegA#

Once we can get Jack to stop trying to drive off with the new bar!

Or left it bent for the 'In Service' look!

Richard, could you PM me the adrss as well please? Phil Webb want's the regulator on his Wolsley checked out as well.

I'd rather know how he can afford Costa Packet! :-D

Full cermonial burial?

Intresting Model T, the lady in the picture is a friend's Grandmother. Remarkable lady.

Welcome

Just got this from a mate. It is his Grandmother, must have been a remarkable lady, she drove ambulances in BOTH world wars.

Actually Gentelman, and Ldies, as far a Social Media goes. Who else but HMVF would have us? The smell of burnt gear oil and grinding spatter does tend to permeate.
