N.O.S.

I quite fancy building a navigators table, seat and the side of the fuselage to display it all in, but have to work out if I can make it portable.

 

Sorry to state the obvious, but surely if you build the rest of the fuselage, wings, engines et al, (having seen pics of your model, I'm sure you are capable!) you could fly the navigator's table to and from shows.......... :whistle:

Anyone else noticed how much the forum has deteriorated since that chap Kewelde threw in the towel? I'll miss his wit, banter and that good old voice of experience. It'll be a worse place without him :whistle:

Hey, those rear springs have one serious SET in them - reckon you'll be doing the fronts just to get back onto a level keel, sailor (not)!

Observation point for underground shelter?

Judging by the rust pattern and box section uprights, I'd say 26"deep x 36"wide, sort of body depth and width.

Oh, and I have not got a clue as to its purpose in life, but that's a solid top all right.

Happy ****** Christmas. :yawn2: If I was a horse I'd shoot me. :-(

 

Before you do, you might like to know that a Dodge successfully scaled our Xmas tree - see pic. What other vehicle could have done that?

Happy Christmas anyway.

When I said "Lets get dug in" this is not what I had in mind..........

RG - I have some generic Bryce Berger instructions which I could copy if you need them (found in a Rolls Royce C series manual), but there should be a pressure indicator (with a 1 1/2" dia. glass dome) on the unit which shows when presure is up. There is also a relief valve set at 5,000psi for safety.

You poor jeep has to work hard to earn its keep!

Very interesting to see that one of those railway guns has survived, and must say I'm finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish betwen photos of REAL and MODEL aircaft, even when I think I know which is which!!

Perry,

The first siren shown (without red lens) is a SIREN.

The second one is a SIRENLIGHT - they were fitted to Ward laFrance wreckers, I but have not seen them on any other vehicle in wartime photos.

You cannot put a lens on the first type, they are very different units.

Repro sirens are available from Jeeparts, SIRENLIGHTS are like spaces in the clubhouse parking lot - scarce :whistle:

Hope this info helps!

I hope it give you all a laugh as it did me...Lawson

 

Tut, Tut, I'm very disappointed, Lawson - as soon as I started playing this I decided it was in thoroughly bad taste to poke fun with such a serious topic and I would disapprove.....

but by the 1/2 way point I was reduced to a shaking jelly :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Me too, so who brought this bug into the clubhouse :argh:

 

And I thought the yellow/green puddles on the floor of clubhouse workshop bay 3 was frozen antifreeze :dunno: could be a clue?

You are not alone. I've ben crashed out since Friday.

 

Me too, better today though. Will stay away from clubhouse just in case. And must wipe the computer screen again....

Yes well done, it is covered in EMER ANIMALS HOOFED A409 Fig. 1

 

With reference to discussion about LH nuts in another post recently in Recovery Service, now being tested - is it safe to recover a goat by rear suspended towing? :whistle:

I don't think so, Richard, I have the same Regimental Goat Workshop Manual as fv1620 -

Inflating the Regimental goat in an approved Regimental Goat Inflation Cage

The oldest of only 3 American survivors from WW1 has died at 109. He leaves behind 2 comrades, aged 108 and 106.

Just watched the French production 'Happy Christmas' about fraternisation in the Scottish, French and German trenches near Delsaux Farm over Christmas 1914 - stunning.

And to think there would be almost 4 more years fighting over the same piece of ground...........

This must be the same Delsaux Farm, south of Beugny village where Jackson died in Sep 1918 during the re-taking of the village.

They are the same road-rail truck as in the first picture - and definitely modern photos.

Another (more expensive) solution is to get a repro gauge (12v) from Jeeparts - an excellent copy. I got a voltage reducer chip (possibly like Rex's?) from Maplins, but not used it yet. Try their website. Or what about RS Components for a regulator?

Rick, at some stage you're going to have to tell us more about this machine - can't think what the pointy bit at front of chassis is, other than a wire cutter/puller :dunno:

Well done with that one - the excavator loading the crusher is an Osgood 600 :banana:

One for the railway enthusiasts - wonder if this was a wartime conversion? :dunno:

With thanks to Sylvia and use of her design.

 

I'm just so envious of people who can sketch a few lines, add a hint of colour, and end up with something so atmospheric as this picture.

3. Spitfires were not the hero's of the Battle of Britain - it was in fact the Hurricane with a 60% kill ratio?

 

For SPITFIRE and HURRICANE, read PILOTS ? :whistle:
