Welcome David. I've now got two ex Norwegian Dodges.

Welcome along Tina.

Long day mate! That's why it's sideways. There are a couple of Thornycroft Fire tenders in the 1966 Chertesy book. So what date is the Mk 6 then?

This one.

I've got the details of the 6x6 version if you want it.

Welcome, the thing is old vehicles don't think for you, that's the fun.

From one extreme to the other!

That's an intresting picture. Where did you find it?

Welcome in Ben. What do you race?

What shed? Blimey, there are walls! Do you issue maps to get about?

Evesdropping is nothing new. The German forces used it for stratigic advantage against Imperial Russian forces in 1914.

All the good shows on same Damm day!:angry We ought to spread Bank Holidays over a week!

So looking at the original photo. Was she designed as a training aid to keep ground crews up to date with the systems?

Great news mate! Storys like yours should be preserved.

Welcome in , pull up a stool and be prepared to be bored stupid! We all have our own hobby horses we love talking about!

Very High Frequency, also described as FM, Frequency Modulated. There are three basic ways of sending information over the air waves. CW, Carrier Wave. This is an un modulated sine wave, which is switched in or off, such as Morse. The result is a buzz. The beauty of this system is the waveform can be very simple, so can the equipment as the only information sent is the carrier is either on or off. It is also suitable for all wavelenghths. Long wave /Medium Wave. These are also called AM Amplitude Modulation. In this the Amplitude or height of the sine wave is varied. It was the first succesful system to transmit spech. The drawback is you need large sine waves in order to modulate enough to get all the information through. VHF Very high Frequency. The frequency , or number of time the sine wave is sent is used to transmit information. This requires the speed of production of sine wave to be high. As the speed of the prodution is the frquency, think of a musical note, you get Very High Frequency. The beauty of this system is that it can switched very fast, and allowed stereo brodcasting . Problem is it is limited in range, basically line of sight. You can send a weak VHF signal to the moon, but it wont go to the next street. All this is a very basic explination, and now Phase modulation is being introduced, but please don't ask for an explanation of that! I'm trying to understnd it, but all I have so far is a headache. :-D

Welcome in Andrew.

Welcome Guy.

Sounds more like a luxury apartment! all you need is another with the sauna and gym!

Need some more modern support vehicles? After all Me and Ruby are familiar with the area. :-D

Welcome Terry.

Welcome Bert. Any special intrests?

So what you got in the back?

Yep, thay have re-introduced the Pack Mule! :-D Unfortunatley the world's biggest Mule stud, belongs to the Indian Army.

Go down your local farmers supply place and get some Bone Radiol Powders, some vinager and make up a Trainer's Wash. Might not cure the back, but you won't be sitting still after application anyway! :cool2:
