    LOL. All it needs is quick rub down and a coat of paint!

    I was just wondering if anyone knows the history of this very distinctive QL tanker. The was a little plaque inside which tells us it was used in the film Battle of Britain. I am wondering if this would have caused a few issues of continuity as the QL was not in mass production at this stage. Anyway, your comment would be most welcome....

    Sorry Andy, never enough hours in the day. Will get something to you ASAP

    Very interesting. Thank you for sharing them.
  6. James Shopland
    Thanks Gordon.

    Anchor Supplies and then alter?

    Yes we have struggled with the same question. It is how you sympathetically restore something without destroying its originality. Sadly someone had a go at painting the front but the back is untouched. The old girl just sits in the shed as we don't know which way to jump.

    The models would be so much easier to store! :cheesy: Great job with the wood work; definitely an imported hard wood. My guess would be Iroko?

    We have one of those projects too. We need to talk more!
  11. James Shopland
    Hey no worries. Will see what we can do :cheesy:

    Hi Jerry, in short yes. They could also be used as ballast tractors by creating a box on the back. We have some of the original concrete weights tucked away too. Never be afraid to ask; I am always posting odd questions :cheesy:

    No it is off the old Crossley but they look very similar :cheesy:

    I guess the question is which July! On the bright side fuel has dropped 2p per litre so at least I can afford to drive the old girl out of the shed....just! :cheesy:

    Rear view.

    Another view of our old girl: You can just make out the RAF marking on the back. Does anyone know what they mean?
  17. James Shopland
    Humm not to my knowledge. We have had two of them for fifty year and the other over ten :cheesy:

    LOL. I know that feeling! :cheesy:

    One day.....we hope :cheesy:

    Mate you are doing a grand job. I guess it is not surprising that they all rust in the same spots!

    Rob, Did these Swedish guns have the 'black-box' reflected gun sight?
  23. James Shopland
    Thanks Gordon. I thought trailers carried the same age related exemptions as trucks. :shocked:
  24. James Shopland
    Very nice.
  25. James Shopland
    Yes ours is the very same. We dragged her out of the shed on Sunday; I will try and post some pictures later.
