  1. Ohh yes! More pictures please. :iloveyou: The military railways side seems to be a growing intrest here, well with me anyway.
  2. I know my 101 ambulance served out there, That has sand couloured paint about 4 layers down. Subsequently she did her last tour in Bosnia. For that she went back green and black, but with a red cross painted on the radiator grill.
  3. That would add a whole new outlook to the 24 hour race! Any idea what the production of vehicles was during the Great War? Considering the amount produced pre war there must have been a hell of jump.
  4. As I remeber the Crater Ferrets where green.:???
  5. Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States , wandering aimlessly and starving. They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says....... "Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk." "Si, Luis, eet sure smells like bacon. " With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon. There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon... every imaginable kind of cured pork. "Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Ees a bacon tree." "Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don' forget." "Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon... ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree." And with that, Luis staggers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock. Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath, "Pepe... go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree! " "Luis, Luis mi amigo... what ees it? " "Pepe.. ees not a bacon tree... Ees Ees Ees Ees Ees a ham bush...."
  6. Use a tripod or monopod if tight for room. Most digital cameras have a natural light setting and auto bracketing, that helps. A pice of toilet paper over the flash will diffuse it and avoids flaring. If you are really serious, try a ring flash. The type you see on CSI that go right round the lenses. Another trick is to up angle the flash and bounce it off a sheet of white paper or card.
  7. the use of local material to disguse fixed defence points was widespread. I know of bunkers with false chimmney stacks built on. Some external work was really elaborate.
  8. You lot do have an adventerous family life. :sweat:

  15. Depends whether I can see the keys on the board.
  16. I thought Napoleon had made a law about such dancers and certain undergarments? What ***** recinded it? :n00b:
  17. A certain International oil company bought a number of T54 enginnering variants a number of years back. They were used in Africa on a project. Then left for the locals. On the practical side ten of these units cost the same as one modern Catippellar tractor.
  18. Welcome Roger. All Dodge owners have an automatic seat at the club house bar.
  19. Happy Birthday! Let's just wrap you up this blanket. Have you got your teeth in to chew the birthday cake?
