Hi all, certainly a very interesting array of vehicles judging by the pictures :thumbsup: Ashley

Hi all, this link may be of intrest to some. http://www.worldnavalships.com/forums/index.php Ashley

Hi Phil welcome to the forum, remember meeting you at canford arena and seeing the Matador very nice truck. I am sure that some here would love to see whats under the tilt. Ashley

I met him and Mrs CW at beltring this year Ashley

Knowing the guy who owned it is probally baked bean tins now the scrap yard is still going despite nearly burning down an electric substation recently Ashley

Tell me about it :-( Ashley

. The design was so good that in 1976-77 I saw a Chieftain hacked about by removing the turret and mounting the 120 directly through the glacis plate, being driven behind our barracks onto Salisbury Plain for trials. Obviously it never came into service. Pictures are like rocking-horse droppings, though I vaguely remember seeing on www.arrse.co.uk somewhere a picture of a hangar at Bovvy where the vehicle at the back might have been said Chieftain S-tank. This was still at Bovvy a couple of years ago in a shed in the workshop area. Ashley

Same here, and i have just heard that a) Osnabruck garrison to be closed b) my old school at Hamm is to be drmolished Ashley

Jack who are you calling camp nuts, i remember Clive asking question about you sweetie Ashley

Glory hunter ... when are you going to buy the rest of that jeep, as you only have the wheel you must be paying by instalments :-D Ashley

We actually met at Salisbury plain Jack keeps trying to forget one or two occaisions when we`ve :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: :police: Ashley

If i remember it was a ........."honestly chaps it was that big" ..... moment just cant remember what he was talking about :-D Having met Enigma and his brother and fellow friends on previous visits to W&P nice friendly people.....and a great supply of nuts :cool2: Ashley

Jack ...the bows are the sharp end at the front....the stern the blunt end at the back (normally):yay::yay::rofl::rofl: Ashley

There was also the fact that at that time British WW 1 war medals could be brought as an item for approx 50p and sold as scrap silver for £3.00 :shocked: many groups were split up at this time and pairs (`Mutt & Jeff` )had the silver one sold and the other thrown away as it was worthless :cry::cry::argh: Ashley

I can only apologies to all , as i never made it due to the fact that instead of packing i was out socializing and had to pack up in the morning (and was still 3 hours late leaving than planned :-\. Next year i`ll get more organized. Ashley

HI ALL, could be wrong but i belived that these aircraft were converted to two seater craft post war for the Irish airforce :??? :confused:. Ashley

Nice one Joris, but after seeing this i expect Enigma will want a base vehicle to convert :cool2: Ashley

Andy (lee endfield) and i chatted about this idea, but it seems all of us travel to the show alone or with our regular friend/groups, and in the past have enjoyed friends company on different areas of the site to include many of the the European visitors includind a very nice Dutch couple this year. If a HMVF area was created i am sure i would use it but in the Americas field you are never far from a HMVF`er Ashley

Mine were much the same ....could do better...has the ability ...should take more pride in his work....he would rather spend his time climbing trees with his friends... takes his punishment like a man (after being caned every sunday morning for a whole term even though i denied smoking, drinking, and skiping church and on one occaision consuming the whole school terms confirmation wine [hic] stored in the church. Moving back to the U.K. my dad who was just completing 25 years Army service,expected me to follow suit....untill i left school and joined a travelling funfair for three months :cool2: Aaaaah those were the days.... Ashley

Same feeling`s here, this year managed to stay out of the beer tents etc ,reckon i saved a fortune, good to meet up with lee and his fellow mates, also Andy at various times through out the show. Also to all the other other lads whom i exchanged a quick hello with. May be next year i`ll get time to se more of you all. Ashley
