Peter's Pit is outside Maidstone, dammed if I could find it now. There was an old tim shed at the entrance used to make kit for oil rigs.

Seems there still in production though. http://www.ascsci.com/suncompass.html

I know it is a touchy subject with some here, and I can understand why. Keep an eye open for banruptcy sales in the area. Some god stuff may be about going cheap. If your going to buy now seems to be the time every supplier under the sun is chopping huge amounts off.

Hey, why rough it? :-D

Welcome, nice to see we export some stuff to your side of the pond. Mind you I wouldn't swop the Dodge. :-D As one of the total sidetracks this forum is famous for. The March past of the Royal Militia Island of Jersey was 'Marching through Georgia', haven't found out why though (Yet!!)

Hi Boley you'll be spoilt for choice and inudated with advice.

Ah the 'PIT!!!! Didn't we get thrown out of there because of the Greater Crested Newt? Many brown trouser moments coming down from the top, espcially in the wet, and hours trying to clean off the chalk .

Hello and welcome.

Kuno, if you get time, a articale on the sun compass would be of intrest, :bow: I've heard of them, an idea of theory but never seen practical information. :tup::

Welcome Rob. As for computer problems, the usual answer round here is 'If it can't be hit with a hammer or turned with a spanner, what's the use anyway?

I'm putting this link here as it will get you to the site. There appears to be the full range of the magazine including the very early ones. Not only articals of military intrest but the 'Mechanical Sections' have useful info on servicing procedures. http://books.google.com/books?id=CigDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA52&lpg=PA2&dq=popular+science&lr=&as_brr=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&output=html

Was there a 'standard' reconditioning procedure?
Tony B replied to No Signals's topic in British Vehicles
Intresting because during the early '80's Aviation Jersey were Alvi's AFV main dealear. Remeber the furorie over South African Engines? :cool2: Alvis used them becuse of all the legal loopholes. The other side of the buissness was called Travelectric, that made electric wheelchirs, never could decide if that was salving concioncess or cashing in both ends. -
Or maybe, Dear DVLA what chance of raod registering........... :sweat:
-
Yes I had a futher nose through it, there is an artical on aero engines, airborne dozers and U Boats. Intresting to read contempoary stuff, especially when you know the full history.

Have a look at this page and the the following ones. The cavalary one is fascinating, would be totally impractical . http://books.google.com/books?id=uicDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA48&lpg=PA49&dq=Signal+Corps+truck+Model&lr=&as_brr=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&output=htm

Lee, in the case of a Saladin Meteor, it may well, in fact 99%, was serviced by Avation Jersey. There were shall we say to be delicate, 'Quality control' issuses with the firm.
