  1. I may not post as others have been doing that , However I do read everypost .
  2. a photo of it at the U.S. Army Ordance Museum at Aberdeen Maryland. http://www.ordmusfound.org/t1244kb.html
  3. a good news bad news kind of thing , Good news your cable is long enough to reach an anchor point , Bad news the anchor decides to come to you !
  4. Ok now that you have unleashed the beast of wanting one ......What was the average selling price of those wonderful machines , and what condtion were they in ??
  5. Of one of those "war weary" aircraft that exploded while still over Britain took the life of Joseph Kennedy jr. brother of John f. Kennedy former President of the U.S. there was another killed in that explosion but I dont recall his name .
  6. Thank you for sharing the photo's , great historic connection for you .
  7. is that a low cost combination taxi and tipper ?? I wouldnt want to be following to closely to that when the gentleman loses his grip on those handles !!
  8. Sure all the ins and out's are of interest , I had seen mention of age related plates but not how they differed from regular or current plates . Each countries DMV as we call them here ...Department of Motor Vehicles or Registery of Motor Vehicles I m sure there are other titles , All of them have their unique rules and logic who's sole purpose is to cost you the most time and money , while at the same time appear to be helping you and keeping you from figuring out the rules.
  9. A link to one of the guided systems not sure of where it was deployed only that it was built. called Razon http://www.realmilitaryflix.com/public/199.cfm
  10. Good Gosh and i thought the M-series with turbos were a bit noisy .... as for smoke screen equipment not needed with that
  11. Thats fine Thought it might have something to do with its antique registeration and its current registeration , over here the plates would be completely different and obvious ie its old plate dated 19?? and its current dated 20??
  12. The fit of the starter crank handle on the Ward may be the same as on the GMC as in you first have to un-spool all the winch cable from the drum then the handle will lay on or be just a bit above the winch drum to allow you to put the crank rod into the end of the crankshaft , So its the very last resort to use a crank handle on a WWII GMC or Ward? winch equiped vehicle , Jumping or bumping much perfered if the stater fails .
  13. Great look group ! And they all look like they got you around when you needed them to.
  14. Not being from that side of the Pond why does it carry two different licence plates on the front of the vehicle ???

    In the U.S. they were WASP's Womans Airforce Service Pilots , doing much that same work . a link here http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/flygirls/peopleevents/pandeAMEX08.html and the first of three chapters at this link http://home.earthlink.net/~reyesd99/stewartsmith/chapter1.html
  16. A well written letter , I hope it will help given it has historicial records and facts to support it .
  17. Welcome to the friendly Forum please feel free to post photo's of your toys and the restoration process on the bike . Besure you watch where you park it in the Club car park lest one of the larger vehicles uses it for a tire stop.
  18. Seems to me that you could organize a road convoy with oldest to youngest mv's or the reverse easy enough to get the ages worked out 1939 1940 ect right up to 1975 ?? or what ever so you have a rolling evolution of HMV's .
  19. Well , Congrats to the Couple to be ! May it all go to plan and may you both have many many happy years together !!!
  20. Hope you had a good time and will have a better year than last .
