Yes, its readable , One wonders how many times that kind of scene happened through the course of the war BRAVE MEN ALL they came from all walks of life and from across the world .So many so very young.

Are these machines you mfg. mounted to the rear of tractors with 3 point hitches ?.Since they are still green machines like other green things here so they would be allowed could you post a pic or two of the completed unit and what its specs are ?
Found these links on the net OEC = Osborn Engineering Company . Seems they lasted up to at least 1960's . and that they made an interesting duel rear wheeled motor cycle for cross country use .

Here is a good example of what they put those Large nets to use in WWII

HWade do you have many peacocks (post#28) about the place are did that one come over from a neighbors ? seems to be inspecting the progress of the job.
Anyone else notice the name on the base of the windshield/windscreen ? on a more serious note what of the odd marking to the left of the name and the marking on the front fender/wing ?
Welcome allen m to the Friendliest forum on the net . Your skill's can be put to use by many here who are increasingly eager to explore all the different forms of camouflage paint on their HMV's , problem is the ones who really did it well couldn't find their vehicle once they walked away from it :shocked:
Please post a photo or as many as you like of your Morris CS8 as we all like to see each others vehicles.
You got a GREAT Neighbor there! Keep em happy with a case of whatever he likes :cool2: he's better than any no show hire outfit .:argh:
Making huge progress ,at this rate you'll have it finished in a couple of months :yay::yay:
les freathy : In your upper photo in post 213 is it possible to maneuver a trailer on a dollie backward in such a narrow area or would you disconnect and reverse the truck and push with the front hitch ?
Very nice photo's by the way !!
