    Remembrance Day.....

    in Future events and meetings

    Posted

    Hi Andy,

    where one of the lads keeps his vehicles, is also a storage area for the local bus preservation items (some real gems there as well :shock: ) well on being told the transporter was at the back of the `shed`and squeezing past a row of buses at least 6-7 deep there was what i would class as a ballast truck probally of forign manufacture similar to a scammell 20 ton ballast lorry in size.

     

    As i was leaving i belive jack and company were going to have a peek

     

    Though i do know some one who has a wartime Scammell trailer and sexton (?) sp gun on the back who was hoping to sell it last year (wasn`t cheap) if youve a spare parking space and a rather large petrol storage tank in the back garden !!!!

    Hi Andy,

    to my knowlege this is the first time (through no lack of effort on behalf of the MVT lads ) that we have attended an event of this nature in this area(may it be the frst of many).

    It was a great day and well received by the public and especially by the veterans i spoke too. I agree with colins coments re jacks truck at least it was there :D

    Thanks to tim and partner and to colin, family and crew for making the extra effort to attend

    Jack did you find the tank transporter in the bus shed ?????

    Hi LE,

    the day went very well, approx 20 vehicles turned out (i am sure jack will have an exact number) the HMVF was strongly supported.

    Good to see jack tim colin and respected partners/ families vehicles ranged from a h/ track to jeeps m/cycles and 3 Gmc`s and what i thought was a nice humber.

    Hi forum members,

    like jack i belive that to `name and shame ` would serve no purpose on a public forum, but can be dealt with via P.M. and only one problem with the recomended taders section is that my prefered trader for jeep items has no on-line facilities :cry:

     

    I will say here that some dealers can be slow in answering e-mail enquiries (JMHO)

    Hi all,

    i know for a fact that despite several attemps by the local MVT guy`s our intrest to help out at a local level in the past we`ve had zero support /intrest from the local RBL.

    I dont mean to be negative but iam not sure that collecting would be liked on the as you know it is usually done in the preceding weeks, and could be loooked into for next year.

    I mean it when i say to be invited to a ceremony here in Bmouth /Poole area is quite a breakthrough.

    Hi GWT,

    i can only second Matt` and Degsy`s comments you guy`s are doing a great job,

    (labour of love :shock: ) and as for cultural vandalism i am sure like in the post war years the armies had hundreds/thousands of vehicles (jeeps etc.) in bits and pieces which were put together to get X-number on the road again,

    As in the 1950`s when the british army were selling off thier jeeps they were called in to a depot all the live, dead and dying vehicles, stripped down and re-built to put up for sale using spares from damaged or wrecked vehicles.
