OK Lee, thank you.

Perhaps the engines are missing or equipment has been removed from the forward end of the fuselage :undecided:

question Sankey Trailer Registration
Richard Farrant replied to Robin 76's topic in Trailers, plant and equipment
Robin, and Clive, I would have thought the trailer would have been made to Construction & Use Regulations, so if you contact Universal Engineering and they send you a letter confirming this, then that ought to satisfy the French authorities that it was built to UK/EU standards. -
On the PM facility, we had a limit of 250 messages ( IIRC), there is nothing to show on this upgrade, that I have seen that is. Perhaps there is no limit now, as on another forum using vBulletin there is no such limitation. :undecided:

Hi Rosie, In 1963 it hung around until March ........and the sea froze in North Kent. We have had snow all day, quite light at times, but wind getting up and drifting in East Kent, Deal was cut off this morning. Think it is about 8 inches deep at present, but still snowing. Up until now, we have escaped a lot of what the rest of Kent has had, but it is catching up with us now.

Tony, If you look just below and to the left of the "Whats new" button, there is one for "New posts", that will do what you are asking.

Steve, There was a graphic illustration of the Daimler in action, published in a periodical called "The War", dated 20th Dec. 1940. It was titled "Dingo - Britain's New Armoured Greyhound" and refered to by the name several times in the caption. so this is not a case of a nickname developing in recent years. I believe Daimler-Benz currently use the name Dingo for a new military vehicle, which is ironic I suppose.
-
Adrian, You should see what its like in the 4,000+ quarters.........waited on hand and foot..........only drawback is that TonyB parks his London bus outside my window and obstructs the view
-
Steve, A point of correction in regard to Dingo ( the Britsh one ), when trials for selection of a new scout car took place, prior to WW2, one of the vehicles was the Alvis Dingo, another was the BSA Scout Car, which was subsequently selected. The BSA was later renamed Daimler, BSA being the parent company, and Daimler built the vehicle. On no official publications that I have ever come across, has the name Dingo been noted, it was unofficial. But....there was an officially named Dingo and that was from Ford in Australia.

+ Sturgeon ..............named after someone I used to know
-
That sounds like the one then, because the museum closed some years ago.
-
Not a Landsverk........but a Irish built armoured car, a 1941 Thompson Ford MkVI. A link posted here shows one laying in a field in North Wales, apparantly there only about four survivors. Preston Isaac had one in his museum until recently when it went to an Irish museum. www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1103842 The photo was taken about 3 years ago, so may not be there now.

Clive, Ah.. I thought that it might have been injected into the system neat. In its intended use it being vapourised in small quantity, there should be no damage caused. The system was made by the usual brake manufacturers, ie Clayton Dewandre, Bendix Westinghouse, etc, and it would have to be compatable with any rubber components.

Head shrink stuff....
Richard Farrant replied to rambo1969's topic in Lubrication, Batteries & Electrics
Yes Rambo. Good stuff, there is even a woven one which looks like black cloth, it shrinks right down and looks good on harnesses. I use a hot air gun. -
Joris, Would it be possible to get the "Statistics" bit back? It used to be at the bottom of the index page, it listed last or recent posts and made it easier to find them. Thanks.
-
Joris, I don't know what benefit the upgrade does, more space, memory or whatever......but why does the format have to change? The pale blue thread titles should be bolder I think, but will have to see what others say. Good news that you got it back on in quick time though, thank you. Oh, I just looked at GWT's Dennis thread and one of the last replies is superimposed over the previous post covering a picture. (it has corrected itself now ! )
-
Clive, If I remember correct, this should be AL-14 Methanol, Technical, Specification BS 506: Part 1, 1987. Described as Methanol, methyl alcohol, for industrial use. When the container is filled, it is drawn in through a very small bore tube, so I would not have thought it to be in sufficeint quantity to harm anything as it is in vapourised form to prevent freezing of any moisture in the system. Sounds like the wrong fluid was received, all army vehicles have had this fitment for many years and I never came across, or heard of problems with valves.

Nigel, Well done to everyone, it was a great sight to see you all passing through Asnelles :thumbsup:

question Big End ?
Richard Farrant replied to thedawnpatrol's question in I may be stupid, but......
Jules, Perhaps the carb is flooding, before doing anything major, remove the carb again and see if the manifold is awash with petrol again. -
Lance Corporal, It looks like a Moto Guzzi, possibly an 850cc.

Ah....good thinking with the pull cord type drains, that is why drivers would not drain the tanks down becaue it usually meant rolling on the ground and getting dirty when normal taps or plugs were fitted.
-
Bernard, You also have to think about internal rusting, I have seen quite a few air tanks rusted through, they are not all that thick. So draining regularly is a good practise.

:??? what I meant was, that I had not ridden a Harley, nor had any wish to. Have worked on one though, hence my reference to a Rotavator. I am wondering why you keep asking so many strange questions, you seem to know about motorcycles and sidecars, but had to ask the meaning of "B.S.A.".
