Thanks Ted for posting the image above, I am trying to track down RAF Lightweight images for my restoration of 53AM78.
Do you have any more photographs?
Thanks for the photo, could you take a shot of the dash please as I have some painted over stickers on mine and I would like to have copies made.
Thanks.
Thanks guys.
Ref the record card:
RAF West Raynham 18/12/72
Marham - West Raynham 19/1/76
The history card confirms its colour as Blue/Grey,
It also looks like it might have been used by 100 Sqn which was flying Canberras
I am trying restore my LWT Land Rover back to its former glory. I need a colour photo - if possible showing any decals etc. My lwt is one of the 1st Series 3`s that entered the RAF in 20.11.72 .
Any images would be great.
Reg no. 53AM78
There was supposed to be lots of kit dumped in Lough Erne near Enniskillen in County Fermanagh. I was asked many years ago if I would help retrieve some of the Jeeps that were dumped. I didn`t as the gear was supposed to be covered in razor wire :shocked:.
If you want a Sunderland there has been sonar surveys carried out in Lough Erne and again there is supposed to be a few sitting on the Lough bottom.
Water visibilty less than 1" due to the peat water.
Awesome job.
I spent 20+ years exploring ww1 + ww2 ship and submarine wrecks and sonar would have made it much easier.
I have an internet business selling products worldwide.
Fantastic thread.
This should be an inspiration to everyone. I have been thinking on enrolling on a welding course and after seeing what you have done maybe in 20 years time I will be able to accomplish the same (except I will be 70) .
A few years ago I was diving in the Irish sea and a Lancaster and a Flying Fortress flew over our boat, the noise was awesome.
Watching your clip sent a shiver through me.
Thanks for uploading it.
