  1. Remeber a lot will be shut on May 9th. Are you taking a vehicle or hiring?
  2. Welcome in, your Dad has said a lot about you! :cool2:
  3. Where ever you turn there will be something, Fort Regent over St Heler, ignore the pool. Noirmont, try to do that at sunset. Houge Bie, the Dolmen and the bunker. Mont Orguill at Gorey. Battry Lothrign up at Les Landes. Corbiere. L'Aleval, AKA the German Road. Elizebeth Castle in St Aubin's bay. Take a brisk walk around Les Landes common, the whole area is covered in fortifications. The States Mueum at Pier Road, or the Weighbridge entrance. (If you call it Liberation Square the Crapaud's will have to think. When you visit Damien's musuem go for a walk along the dunes and beach. It's on the five mile road, actually it three and three quarter miles long, the beach is five miles long. On the land side there are the remains of the First World War German POW camp. also up by Val De La Mare resivoir is an intresting machine gun fortification, if it is open. L'Etacq futher along the road, going up to Les Landes also has a number of fortifications, you'll get a complete view of the Atlantic Wall, all within about twenty minutes drive. If your out on the East Coast, vist St Catherine's breack water. St Peter's Hotel is good for lunch, and had a 20mm AA mount on top of it. The Jersey Royals are just coming in, get them from St Quen, there grown properly on sand with Vraic as fertiliser, the diffrence from the ones you'll buy in UK is amazing. If you want something off the track, go to St Helier to the corner of Howard Davis park. There is the only official British War Cemetery not looked after by CWWG. Try and get some Cabbage Bread as well. I'll be over the week after to collect Katy. Enjoy the day.
  4. The picture is 1925. The tanks look like the proposed 1919 international, Anglo American, Liberty, Mk VIII design tank, as seen in the Indiana Jones film. http://www.landships.freeservers.com/mk8_the_international_info.htm Only seven were built in Uk but about one hundred in U.S. .
  5. So? Do we care? :-D It was one of the first with the headlights on the outside. A Safari 12 seat with the old 2a dash.
  6. I belive Her Majestey has a taste for Dodges. Lady of immaculate style.
  7. I'd think first stop Gaydon, then Solihull itself. It is ex military mate?
  8. Mine is a picture Harry took at Bunker Bash 2008. Being chased by all those nasty track heads! :-D
  9. Welcome in. Having spent your life with your head in the clouds. About time you came down and got your feet in the mud.
  10. DUKWs will have a feild day! By the way, don't forget it is illegal to clean them! Water is short.
  11. If its pitting you want. Why not just hit it with a small pien hammer? Pig muck, that will rust pit and dissolve anything.
  12. Welcome Dan, with your own password you can now tell us the truth about brother! :-D
  13. My suspicion is that it would be some form of animal portable gun. There are a number of similaritys to a Skoda M15. This was a mountain gun.
  14. More pedal power the better! Welcome.
  15. It was amazing how fast people could move! Maybe you should try it behind an Olympic sprint start? :cool2: (That'll teach the pesky thing to fail its MOT!)
  16. Welcome in Neil. Post pictures please. Sounds like a lovley little vehicle.
  17. Great news mate! Can't wait for the next trip over. :-D
  18. Wasn't there a German WW1 Howitzer found dumped under a Scottish wall?
