abn deuce

again thanks for the link they are looking for 15,000 pounds seems to be in good condition ....dang if only I could afford another MV it would have been most welcomed here .

I found this page thru google and it lists Oman as the country where they were sent . heres the link http://www.winwaed.com/landy/history/military.shtml

Yes, its a good design and a great addition to making a more complete authentic military tent display . I m sure lots went to the camping surplus dealers and have been trashed when people went to compressed gas cylinders for ease of use . Nice find.

At first I would have said just use the helmet liner , but seeing what you created it's a very convincing steel/fiberglass replica . could be other's would be interested in getting one like that from you for the same reason.

I say Thats alright bit of kit as its already Marking it's territory. As i understand from other posts if it aint leaking its out of oil ! :whistle:

thanks for the information , perhaps it survived ,what was its main problem ? too complex IE not reliable ?, too heavy?

can be defective switch , you could disconnect and see if it stops then or could be deposits on the cylinder head or the pistons which when they get hot can be enough to cause engine to diesel for a little while , in which case you need to clean them out , perhaps using an octane boost would help until you take the engine apart .

Fantastic to see that back to original shape and color. who knows if it would have lasted much long as you found it ...might have been melted down . Now it will someday be in a museum , when its day at show's have ended. :thankyou: :tup:

you just might be . I d limit exposer just in case and you should give notice to those around you that if you begin to circle the lamp or get to near to cut it off lest you get some very nasty serious burns. ;-)

Super sounds like a win win for everyone . :-D

So many goodies , so little time . When I visited there in the late 80's they had two prototype halftracks for testing, I recall they had Land Rover fronts :schocked: with some kind of British tank track system for the rear half. I wondered if any one knew what became of them ? :dunno:

Was it the contacts being different as you said earlier or ? . what are the plans for the working unit now ? will you display it with your vehicle ? , what will happen to the other unit ?

Do Pray tell of the pink ones fate ,as of these last several months time ? :?Was it in fact taken by someone or did IT posse someone ?? :dunno: I say does it still hides :-o as it is clearly of the unholy undead verity :evil:, mocked and abused crushed and soiled but still it exists!!!! surely :shake: Its return has been forsworn ;-) Let not its seeming pale color fool you , are not the ones who seek the night fair of skin ! :eek2: and be of the DARK SIDE If only is was confined that Island Realm , I feel in my bones it travels the world searching for its next Victim :whistle: Be not afflicted by the condition known as O.D fever and you may be spared it's curse :angel:

surely you have figured it out now , its for a ground based object....... that's a snood for an elephant.keeps its ears clean, they hate having dirty ears !! and covers its eyes to calm it while being transported.

looks like it was a very successful first outing with the new Camera!

She's looking mighty good!!! and it looks like you had just a bit to spare on the height department so any thing bigger would have been out of the question .

Do you know what use or uses have the former Sub pen's been put to since the war ?

found these on you-tube thought others here might enjoy seeing these ,perfect for getting thru those boggy arena's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2yv2pnJAKA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OznC9-Kflo8 i dont think they are cheap , but interesting use of technology

Never would have thought it was in as good a shape as it was simply with a very through steam cleaning and finding those important bits in there as well , Well Done .

Thank you for the information I d not know the manufacturer for sure , I attended a local parade not long ago in which there was a brand new farm tractor most likely then a "CAT" that had a simular sized track and sprocket assemble although the cab was more like that of a conventional farm tractor engine in front < the blade end> and the cab in the rear < the large sprocket end> .

Thank you for posting the link it is a interesting read , the photo of the front loader going up on its front wheels I had seen before in " Wheels and Track's " but had not known the more complete story as written in the article.

Thanks for posting the new photo's of some of the verity of HMV's in your groups collection they look like they have been well taken care of .

They are all great shots , Whats the military discription on the last vehicle , and do you know if the US Army purchased any of them ?

A great looking group of O.D. .You got. As well as a really good friend if he will share his U.S. vehicles with you so you get the best of both . Nice you have a open mind still.

seem as long as the tax man get his cut its ok .
