Welcome and already your up to speed on the club house parking lot !! A verity of rooms awaites you inside , best to stop by the Bar first as so many are needing a abit of their favorite tipple before trying to re-post the last ten weeks worth of materials , perhaps its best to just start anew ? Not sure when meals will be served as the kitchen is in a sorry state with the last couple of days meals uneatten .

Jack you and Joris are doing everything you can to make up for the hosting system problem , We know the old system was going to be replaced anyhow, it just turned out to be more sudden than planed . I know we are all saddened and some are more miffed than others , It time I think we can replace most of what was lost . Helpful items like spellcheck and the special smilies will hopefully return in a few days . Lets all start learning these new ropes and get things blazing again !!!!

Wasn't much of German Fighter command based on ground based radio control? In order to send and receive orders and information from German radar's from their fighter command and the types of radio's they used weren't the fighters then limited in their range from the nearest radio transmitters on the French coast ? as was stated in earlier posts above, the greater risk already was the permanent loss of any pilot shot down over the British Isles , no friendly resistance group to help or hide any down enemy air crew's .

abn deuce replied to muddydigger's topic in Tracked vehicles
Welcome aboard for a great time . I had watched the series of videos posted on you-tube about the sherman tank project Great Bit of Engineering and looks like a lot of fun ....... Should you finish up your very interesting scale CVRT make sure you stay out of the way of the likes of the Antars , Scammels and such that prowl the Parking lot of the club house as they tend not to see things as they manover about looking for parking places ...... :-D -
There were several combinations mounted in turrets on half tracks as anti-aircraft defence units the most well know it the quad mount of four fifty cal. heavy barreled browning machine guns others included a 37 mm auto- cannon with 1 fifty cal. heavy barrel browning machine gun. I think as shown in the second photo with a Water cooled barrel there were also 37 mm cannon combined with twin fifty cals. as well but air cooled the second photo looks identical to one on page 33 of the Osprey. Vanguard issue #33 of Us half-tracks of world war II

Certainly the dump truck in the back ground of the photo is a GMC, but still agree with the closer one being a Diamond T.
-
Yes , its currently being shown on the "Military Channel" on cable Here in the U.S. not sure if its also being seen over sea's or not .
-
Has anyone one else seen the show " Reflections of Courage" ? I had a quick peek of it dealing with the Normandy Invasion . But Just saw a repeat of the program today what they had also recreated "Exercise Tiger " the disaster just off Slapton Sands with the Veterans from both sides I thought it was well done.

BYGOSH what are the odds!!! Yes it would appear to be the same scene!! :shocked: :clap:

the more heavy duty dump body <large Gussets> with it setting higher and the one piece all metal headache rack mark it a Diamond T still a fine looking truck , they had twice the capacity of the GMC's

Welcome to the Forum and to the Club house the rules about vehicle parking and the duties about the ladies and gents room along with the kitchen duties will be explained by the others shortly ... not problems as long as you keep the prewar and post war groups separated ......most of the time :whistle:

An interest in things O.D. usually translates into a serious addiction to some form of O.D. ownership at sometime in the future. You have come to the right place to explore your growing habit !
