  4. The trouble with some authours is that they are just collectors of information and not nessacerily having knowledge on the subject matter. This was definately true of military books of the late sixties and early seventies, untill specialist knowlwdge was begining to be spread and become readily available Ashley

Though slightly off topic:nono: i have just unpacked i book (havn`t a clue where i got it from ) called ...Characters of Wood, Wurlitzer & Wesley by Maurice Sanders which is basically about timber haulage and has many pictures of converted Matadors, Albions,Karriers and a AEC armoured car which had the turret replaced with a 21 foot jib for loading wood and capable of 60 MPH :shocked: Though it is a shame to see how literally the trucks were worked to death:cry: Ashley
  15. Cedric welcome back, also welcome to the U.K as far as i know these could be the first trucks of thier kind here :thumbsup:probaly meet up on the show circuit some time. If you can spare the time (and expense) the War and Peace at Beltring in July will be a must to visit. Ashley

    Hi all, this is a picture of one of the Haunebu series of craft (not an actual photo) several of the aircraft varients made flights in the latter stages of the war :shocked: if you search the web for Haunebu and can read the article by Rob Arndt very interesting. http://discaircraft.greyfalcon.us/HAUNEBU.htm Ashley
  21. Hi NOS, i would of thought that by the time the Marshall plan had started most of Europe would of been supplied vehicles under UNRRA. Part of this program saw the collection of thousands of surplus vehicles which were stripped and rebuilt and delivered across Europe (many dissappearing on the way :shocked: ) Though i could incorrect in my thoughts. Tried to search UNRRA but most links related to the rehabilitation of displaced persons but there is good coverage in the jeep books .... All American wonder may be worth further research. Ashley
  22. If you don`t know Montebourg in approx 14 miles NE of St, Mere Egleise on the D42? bypassed by the N 13. Ashley
