Tony B

Your welcome, the vehicles are near Swanley, Kent.

It must be the vehicle that just has its bonnet appering in the corner of another picture. The plate definitley shows INTERNATIONAL.

Not a lot changes really does it? Britsh soldiers out in the sandpit.

Welcome, the military owner colours are normally Green, black, brown and blue from the comments. As for trusting Jack's viewing habits, well! You're welcome to come and see my toys.

I've a feeling this is the gun. http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_4-40_mk3.htm Noting the two arc restraining posts at the front and the rather spindly spades at the back, I suppose if the gun was fired on a lengthways axis the vehicle might just take it. Wonder how many shots they were expected to survive though?

Watch for cold calling life insurance salespersons then! :-D

PLASTIC GUTTERING!! Metal can rust and stain canvas! (Just a reminder)

Feel strongly then? :-D

Afterme!

Oh that's it then! Total credibility meltdown! Barracade the Club house doors!

OOH! A potential Dodge owner then? Like a Series three only much much nicer.! I'm lucky enough to have two of the Ladies in my care.

Welcome Tony. Any particular beast takes your fancy?

I'm more intrigued as to what the middle support vehicle is. Nice looking beast, I'd like one of those.

Shortage of hydraulic jacks maybe?

Stop giving the man ideas!!! What about a three quarter tracked version though? :cool2:

Yes, there are pictures of the ceremony in various local history books. The oddest official war cemetry I know is in Jersey. It has English and American graves from the 2nd WW , mostly Naval, but it is administered by the Parish of St Helier and the States of Jersey, not the CWWGC.

Welcome in,

And the recoil? About three miles at 5 mph.

The problem with heavy weight, is just that the weight. Difficult to lug about and I've found a tendency to cause the bows to bend. Especially if water puddles. The cover breathes is much easier to manouvere about, and wraps up small enough to take to shows.

A lot of second world war casualties in the area, including Biggin Hill were intered in the St Mary Cray cemetery a couple of miles from Orpington. Just across the railway line from me. I have to admit (Most embarresed!:red:) I don't know if there are any Great War graves there. Two I do know are Polish airmen whose aircraft crashed outside Croydon. That was a post a while back. I'll have to go and check. The local Orpington Hospital (Much to NHS Chagrin, they want to close and sell the place) was gifted to the people of Orpington by the people of Canada as a thank you for causualties treated on the site. RIR was the regiment to which the original Jersey Detachment were attached.

I've heard of dedication, but this definitley goes above and beyond!

A vehicle is never truly yours, until it has embarresed you. :-D Enjoy the trip plenty of pictures expected.

I'll have to have a nose! How does it work?

I wonder if the photos were meant for the War Illustrated magazine? I've a number of copies that have similar photos taken in Abasynia. Looks like Don Estelle got into the first picture.

Odd the Library of Congress would have such nice records of ENGLISH kit.
