Welcome jimk Great verity of vehicles you have there . Glad you joined up .

Welcome Brian , now that your hopelessly infected with the green diease there nothing to be done about it but to start down the slippery slope of looking at photo's then picking up the hobby magazines at the corner news stand just to give em a peek you say , then on to a possible scale model kit to explore the beauty of a perticular vehicle and from there is a very short road to the Old 1:1 scale . Lots of different HMV's here enjoy your exploring .

Well then you could find a hand powered unit those are very portable or if you enjoy working with small engines I ve got the perfect little noise maker for you , check this one out . ps I ve no idea where you could get one of these or what make , model it is . Something went wrong...

I thought that the previous photo's of the surplus jeeps and trailers gave an idea of the volume involved of the surplus equipment . How very wrong I was , while the story in this youtube clip Really is shocking and its a shame the still photo's are not very detailed the scope of what was stockpiled and destroyed just after WWII is ........... I cant find a word . If you then think of how many vehicles where then rebuilt and sent to Korea just a few years later its stunning . I now its been said before if all this surplus survived then the value of those in preservation would be much less . Just for a moment think of the spare parts junked !He also speaks of entire loaded ships sunk !:nut: The veteran talked of this being only one of a number of simular sites :shocked::shocked: Something went wrong...

While looking for other things came across the topic on youtube of Air Raid sirens and thought it a topic for discusion , since it was such a part of life in Britain all through WWII . Something went wrong...

Welcome Issy yes that is a thread about war graves and another about the memorial stone for a WWI soldier. You can post your photo's if you would like too. Lots of other interesting stories to explore as well.

There are a few other photos also listed under German vehicles like this one also an 18 ton http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?10959-WWII-German-3-4-track&p=113732#post113732

A clip of a 1940's Weekend gathering back in 2006 with a verity of activities including a reinactor group staging a battle at the end . Something went wrong...

Found this clip of a rally/gathering dated April 19th 2009 that took place at the York Castle a verity of British and American HMV's with a fun ride along in a Jeep and a view of the country side ( I did notice a certian follow me Jeep) anyone else spot their Vehicle? Something went wrong...

Thought this the best place to post this , Modern testing of run flat systems used in military wheels pretty amazing how much abuse they can take . Something went wrong...

The other video's linked to this are pretty funny as well .
