Lovely set up! I've got several of these, including a Johnson version, but none as complete as yours. If you ever do decide to sell it drop me a line - I would be very interested in buying it. Cheers -
Hi Steve
Hope you got the RL home safely - thanks for helping move the CVRT as well.
Since you seem to know almost everybody in the NE I was wondering if you knew anybody who did mobile shotblasting, as in how can I get the Bofors cleaned up, or am I better to get a needle scaler and do it that way?
Cheers
David

I wonder where they got the original picture from?

Always fancied owning one myself, actually.
-
That was my thought too.

Blooming well done indeed - just goes to show the power of a bit of planning and a ton of teamwork. Though I'm not sure I would be the one sitting on the winch wire as you heave on the Tirfor to pull it out!

G Coy? Oh dear...

8 1/2"? That might work - will give it a measure at the weekend - cheers!

Hi I am looking to remove the alternator from my CVRT for cleaning and repainting, and to get rid some of the accumulated grease underneath it. It seems to have a 1/2" allen headed socket buried underneath it - does anyone know where I can get a really loooong allen key from? Cheers David

There are some Bedford MWR radio truck parts for sale on Ebay at the moment - don't know if there is any commanality there?
-
I've got a generator for one of these - I don't suppose you have any manuals or anything like that at all? Also it is missing the plate on the pullstart (?) and the wooden box cover... Cheers
-
You could practically tow the first one away right now! Amazing!
-
PM me the details and I'll see what I can do. Cheers

I picked up a Firewire control box on fleabay recently, so the seller may have more?

Looks to be the pouch for the antenna sections that clips to the side of an A41 manpack. My first introduction to platoon comms! Cheers!

If you want to land planes on it (?!) then you are better off with Class 60 trackway, which is designed for that role. Comes in a nice big roll which you can roll up again afterwards. I'm sure I've seen it in the background of a photo of a surplus dealer somewhere - now where was that?
-
You could have a look at pics for the LAAT version - my Ford F60S is pretty similar.

When I was in we had to occaisonally have our CVRTs counted by the Russkis under the SALT agreement, I think it was, under a particular Op name that escapes me at the moment, and they were only Sultans, yet they were classed as armour, so... -
So where did you find it, how long have you had it, do you have all the parts needed? Tell more!

A long, ongoing pligrimage

Why would two named personnel be buried in the same grave? -
This might be a naive question, but working in the oil and gas industry I buy anodes for offshore pipelines, and there we use zinc (?) based sacrificial anodes. Is that something that could be used here, or is it too slow a process for your needs?

"That completed the main parts, all that was left was finishing." Understatement of the year!

My thoughts exactly! Where is his escape route if it all goes wrong suddenly? Biiiiiig steps would be needed, as in the old saw, 'what steps would you take in case of emergency?'. Interesting though, 'elf and safety is becoming embedded in this business. -
Looks almost ready to go / show!

Moving back in time from your usual interests?! Good luck - I'm sure it will be a fine looking vehicle when it is finished. What else does the former owner have - I noticed a 110 in the pics and the back of another vehicle? I think it is amazing that we are still finding these things.
