    Hi Richard

    Hope you are well.

    Up date on Dingo F47451. The picture below was taken on 3.9.44 in Fleurbaix France and sent to me by Sing Eager dingo register. The picture has been sent to a photographer for examination and this has proved the last two digits as 51. Searching google maps I have found the exact location by matching in fancy house bricks in the picture. Location is. D171 Rue Louis Bouquet junction with Rue Royale.  near Lille France.

    I have sold up in East Sussex and moved to Laxey Isle of Man.

    Always tea on if you are passing.

    Regards  Michael Haynes

      Hi Michael,

      That is great to find a photo of your vehicle and proving where it was used, thanks for posting it to me.

      You are know a Manxman I guess!  If I ever get to the Island I will let you know.

      Just spent the weekend at a steam rally at Woodchurch, next village from my workshop. One Dingo there, around 40 military, 69 steamers and heaps of other vehicles. Headcorn aerodrome next week. Getting back to normal with shows.

      regards, Richard

    What information do you have on the workshop servicing trailer No3?

    Is there a CES or manual around for it?

      Hi,

      I am afraid I cannot find anything on these trailers. Postwar ones were fitted out with Tecalamit lubricating equipment, not sure if WW2 ones were likewise.

      regards, Richard

      Hi Peter,

      I vaguely recollect a question on grease, was it for wheel bearings? Just use a normal motor grease suitable for wheel bearings, a motor factors will put you right.

      I might struggle to find your post about it, if it was grease for something else please let me know.

      You are the owner of a very good lorry, I have had mine for 30 years and love it.

      regards, Richard

      Hi Graeme,

      I think those Isenthal voltage regulators were used on the older army generators, I recall the name. I have found this link to info on them:

      Possibly on the WW2 Lister generators, used for searchlights an Anti Aircraft
