abn deuce

As part of a very important event in history He will never be forgotten .

Thank You Degsy , I had no idea .

I ll try and see what I can find.

Here you see a very young Evil Knievel before he settled on using Motorcycles for his stunt jumping career.

Very interesting bit of history and corporate operations.

Good to have these memories recorded .

No you did'nt mis-understand I didnt know what the FAT-5 looked like for sure and guessed it might be if it was in the snow, since the FAT -5 was rated for cold weather conditions . Thanks for showing me your Morris.

A photo of what looks like a Morris Commerical C8 Mk III in Italy, crewed by New Zealand soldiers. Perhaps they are using the vehicles winch to assist vehicles up the hill just out of the photo to the right ?Of course the caption is wrong about being an APC. Could this be a FAT-5?

On the CCKW I brought back from the Netherlands it had been fitted with a battery cut off switch that required a plunger type of key to operate . The fact is given enough time and determination anything can be taken by someone , the smaller the vehicle the easier it is to be taken especially at a show or parked away from home . At home I d say keep it garaged or covered and well anchored < the bigger the chain or cable the better >. In all cases I d also mark the vehicle permanently with welding marks or etching / engraving pens in several places so if it goes missing you have more than one method to identify it . The alarms and trackers are a good idea .

A bit of every kind of bump and surface . Look's like everyone had a bit of fun !

note the door on the Jeep , different pattern to the window. Tired American soldier just back from the front lines near the town of Murrigen during the Battle of the Bulge. Location: Belgium Date taken: 1945 Photographer: George Silk

That's something else ,that they remembered the men and have a monument to the event.Well done .

Welcome gung to the Friendliest Forum on the net . No need to own a Green machine yet that will come in time . I m sure your written English is far better than any phrase I might try to write in German .

Interesting contrast between the Jeeps ahead and the CCKW opposite , not sure what the Vehicle is to the right front of the Jeep is ? also paint sand ? or ? dated May 1943

are the cannons stored elsewhere or are they polished/waxed quite often?
