    Once the restoration is complete will this be garaged , the reason I ask is that complete winterizing rear tilt / cover as its rare how long will it otherwise stand up to UV and outside weather ?

    I hope who evers hands got scalded will heal quickly . Will the brake shoe need to be custom made or are there such things available as spare parts ?

    I dont think its a vertical loop , if you notice its being flown in a tight turn next , so I d say what you are seeing is a figure eight pattern with one turn right above the cameraman.

    Just make sure you steer clear of the clubhouse pond and its boat ramp as we have a few Stalwarts taking the plunge quite often along with a few GPA's . Of course a few of the members have Soviet amphibs as well . So draughty shed or an airconditioned and heated Garage all are welcome to pull up a Jerry can or crate and share all manner of odd mechanical knowladge as they see fit .

    The hoist or tipping gear as far as I know only used a single hydraulic cylinder for either the Garwood or the Heil systems. What I see is a twin cylinder which would make me think it's a post war civilian conversion. Ready to be proved wrong .

    Seems like a good way to eliminate your compation by putting a bit of red diesel in the fellows tank and then call the authorities with the offenders plate # they get to try and prove their innocence with all the documents turning their life upside down or vehicles taken away .

    Your right the ramp just clears the locker if the ground were a bit wetter and there by softer you would likely have scraped the locker badly . Seems if the ramp was bolted construction you could reduce it enough to store it onboard somewhere , perhaps the track locker ? It should be standard issue to show off the Scammells flexability !!!! Well done .

    It would seem to be a shame to cut up such a good chassie , seems its only light surface rust and sitting on good tires , at the very least it should be saved ,blasted and painted then saved for some future project .

    Found this on youtube its one of five parts that have been posted , Looks from the first clip to have been a major production . Done on a large scale , not just a squad and a tank or two. Something went wrong...

    Nice little trailer , they must be rare as I ve not seen one like it before . Judging by the size of the wheels I m guessing you used motorcycle tires ?

    Your not all that mysterious if you go to google maps your right there in SE Poland and have on satellite down to 500 ' resolution . You might think its the end of the earth , but its not lol .

    Found an interesting site and it is MV related so I thought this the best place to post the link if not please move it accordingly Mods. Some may have hear of this fellow before if not give this a peek and learn how his talents were used to great effect during WWII. http://www.maskelynemagic.com/

    Can't be many of those left period. Never saw one before thanks for sharing this rare find!

    It was War and things happen , He has nothing to regret about the things that happened then . Given the unknowns of the day he acted very bravely to help move that soldier and could have him self been exposed to a possible German sniper . I thank him for his service in the military to help win the war , I hope he never feels that others would not care about him or what hes done .It's been said before , " Let others walk a mile in someone elses shoes before they judge them" .
