Tony B

Just got dear old Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler, My part in his downfall.

And the last one. Considering the price some pictures go for on E Bay what would this lot be worth?

The originals were in superb condition I'll post some more

Didn't scan them. All I had time to do was stand over them with the digital camera! There are about thirty of them. I'll post the rest over the next few days.

Happy new year all. Good luck & prosperity.

No Jack's finally seen the light and bought a Dodge.

Some more

Nosing through my collection, I came across these, stupid of me not to post before. The pictures were in an album, brought to Oddesey ny a memeber of the public. She had found it in a junk shop. Thankfully the owner allowed me to copy the pictures. Here are the first few.

The Jersey flag is the 'new' one. The old one didn't have the coat of arms on the fly. Trouble is in that form it was identical to V in the international falg alphabet. Why that causes grief is when flown alone means : I require assistance.

Not long by geological standards that is ! :cool2:

Happy birthday Jack. Congratulations on surviving another one.

And Jersey

I think they were live Richard. So no chance of the archive. I did end up owning an Austin gipsy though. :-D Anyone else have a Mother who was addicted to the Wrestling on Saturday afternoon? Jakie Pallo, Mike Mc Manus and the Royal brothers?

Virgil to conrtrol: 'I've just set off the speed camera!'

Headcorn have a Angelis that was used for U boat scouting, towed behind. The problem is cost of new rotors, they also have a manned V1.

Metropolitan Police do have two armoured backed beasts, Fords I think they are. MOD Police (MODPLOD) had some Saxon's, and the Ukilalies (UK Atomic Energy Agency Police) have some odditys hidden about. The UK route seems to be DOVES (Discreet Operational Vehicles) for work on the street.

So we can learn to swear at breackdowns in many languges then? :-D

Many moons ago in the days of black and white 405 line TV. Once a year on a Saturday afternoon the BBC used to show a competion bettween the Army and the London Motor Club off road. Vehicles used to run down parralel tracks similar to the 'New' rally speed stages. One such pairing was Stolly and a Haflinger. They both roared off and the Haflinger came to grief in a bush. Best BBC presenter 'Oh I say that looks bad, No the Haflinger driver seems alright. We'll just have a word with him'. First time I heard swearing on TV. Fell promptly in love with both vehicles.

Does that mean yet more reinforcement on the multi story car par? Oh well, welcome in, don't wory about the keep of the grass sign, it's probably under one of the Scammel's.

A lot of these magazines seem to be an excusee to sell you a lousy little toy for 1000% more than it costs in the shop. there was one recently with a'Make your own model ship from bits + mag' the model would have worked out about £850 ! Then you have things like Britian at War,(NOT being paid for plug) just that I've learnt so much fascinating information from them.

Unfortunatley armour seems to have got into the realms of 'Rich men's toys'. The BMW has no cred , the luxury yacht has got boring , I know let's buy a tank!! I went off the idea of armour when a certain 'Pop' star renowned for stupid glases was seen to own an Abbot. :shake: The ones like me that have been playing for years, before a military vehicle became a 'Fashioon' acessory had the best of it. Look at Barbour and the DAX pattern? Used to be exclusive, now the Chav brand. Even seen them wearing Flat tweed caps!!!! When I worked proffesionally with horses, breeches and boots were my work kit, the standard question from some *** in the street, 'Oh wheres your 'orse?' usual answer 'Like your brains left at home in the feild'. Now the bloddy stuff is high fashion, and some of the ***** females wearing trousers cut like breeches, puts me off eating. :shake: Please note: I have the greatest of respect for people like Mr Wheatcroft. They would do it anyway for the love of the vehicles and the respect for history.

Sandro you are a VERY lucky &&89584747 Welcome there will be extra pails in the club house to catch the drool from members. Please post more photos.

One wonders what would happen if our Police decicded they wanted APC, or Armoured Fighting vehicles. :sweat:

OH NOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!! A FERRET and a CARAVAN :shake::shake::shake: Time to retire to the SAGA room with a glass of tonic wine and Bovril.

:tup:: Thanks Richard, bettween the two motorways. Now an SSSI thanks to the Greater Crested Newt (Must have squashed a few in my time :shake:}
