Welcome here, I'm sure you'll learn new stuff here every day. I know I still do!!

 

What areas are you interested in?

Trucks are my main area of interest. I have a matador in civvies. My current project is rebuilding a threshing machine. I just need to find a few Women's Land Army or POW re-enactors to work it!

I'm Alan from the Huddersfield area. I have always had an interest in military vehicles. By joining the forum, I hope to learn more about them and hopefully make a positive contribution where I am able to.

John Harrington is most knowledgeable and in my experience very helpful on military AEC's I am sure he will have lists of the serial numbers and the dates of the contracts they were supplied under. If firm dating evidence is required it was possible to obtain a copy of the delivery note for some if not all Matadors from the British Commercial Vehicle Museum archives, but there is/was a charge for this.
