  2. Has Anyone come across any of the equipment that was used for this purpose , the speaker and wire or tape recorders etc. should have made it to the surplus piles at some point I would have thought. Here is the link to the subject on the realmilitaryflix.com site http://www.realmilitaryflix.com/public/445.cfm?sd=61
  3. the Herks that were lost , would that include those lost on the ground in combat areas as well as those lost while flying ? Much was asked of those planes to fly pushing the limits of crew and cargo in awful weather into remote primitive sites and so the number lost could be higher .
  4. That post 19 just what Jack needs to take care of the bugs as well as a method of thrust propulsion to move his GMC
  5. I m looking foreward to all the new dyed in the wool jokes to be posted , but it seams like it may be a case that many may not be of whole cloth kind so let the yarn's begain and see who can put Us in stitches first .
  6. Outstanding and you have worked so quickly ! Be sure to post a video when its done so we can all see it climbing and steering around obstacles !
  7. I d have thought near the top of the list would be the RR Merlin engine in full song during a low pass at an air show or better still at the Air races in Nevada , be it in a Spitfire or a P51 Mustang . While a trio of Packards in a PT boat at high speed would also be very impressive.
  8. yes I saw the Corgi and was very disappointed as it did look military at all ! with or without Giraffe.
  9. There are many more photo's taken after the Dieppe raid on the Archive site and many more I thought others would post other items of interest to them from there as well . I think I counted 80 plus photo's of the mission to free Mussolini , of photo's of the bomb blast at Hitlers bunker , others taken all across Europe and sure not all are Military too many show how the German Military delt with the resistance and others. It is still important to see all of this history the evil and try and find the good. As one of the member has on his signiture area " Lest We Forget "

From what I find the measurments for the battery are 9 1/8 " length 7 1/8" width and 9 1/8" height the military battery type would be 1M the closest civilian equivalent would be 19L of course it also says the Willys MA were 6 volt . the measurements for a G503 MB,GPW would be 10 3/8 length 7 1/8 width and 9 3/8 height military battery type 2H closest civilian equivalent 2 also 6 volt
