To rig a "winterized" correctly then you have a special thermostat housing adapter , IIRC you have this ? ============ Then :- Harmo 743 Bottom hose (engine hose) Hillman Hunter 67-77 Humber 67-78 Sunbeam / Singer Gazelle. ------------ Angle hose (Heat Exchanger) qty. 2 is Harmo 1428 Not certain is Harmo Hoses are still in business , just this is what the kit inventory states. Just a matter of going to a factors & asking to view a Gates or similar hose catalogue for cars detailed or cross ref. Nos.

http://www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/lake_district_docs95/windermere_boat_registration_form_v181209.pdf The decision of the scrutineers is final. The cost is just to obtain the LDSPB decal No. plate so you look like a fishing boat (to the lake Police can identify you if you are clocked for speeding). Plus slip fees , very long wait for very very expensive mooring unless you have clout.

A Stolly on Windermere would probably not be easy from private or public slip , for starters - for over 30 years for motor propulsion you need to be registered and display your large LDSPB decal No. A application would be interesting , they would need a £££££££££ bond up front for recovery in event of sinking. Bit out of contact with the other lake regs , certainly you would not be permitted to go charging length & bredth of Ullswater as west end is sail only (other than ferry).

And here it is - what seems to be very good film documentary evidence that there were at least 3 qty. Land Rovers , 1 Lightweight "Regimental Police" it seems (was this Para. MP's ?) and two 109" S3 Safari , AJ plates - RAF (probably used by medical staff) ? This indicates that Land Rovers went ashore via. landing craft or heli-lift from the very start of the conflict :- Click pre-view Clip 8 of 12 ================ Clip was 8 of 12 (This appears to be dated 14/06/1982) http://www.itnsource.com/compilations/faithhistoryandpolitics/events/?lr=S07020702 Quote: ITN/BBC POOL- inseparable TX 14.6.1982 FALKLAND ISLANDS: First pictures of the aftermath of the battle for Goose Green / Soldiers carrying injured on stretchers / Injured man with badly burned face and hand receiving treatment / Other patients receiving treatment / Commander Rick Jolly interview SOT / Civilian children waving from inside building / Dead bodies of soldiers killed covered in tarpaulin lay in grave / Soldiers carrying dead body on stretcher covered in Union Jack / Also pictures of the burial of Col H. Jones

Well - in answer to your query , provenance. IMHO - if you had such as Lightweight 54 GF 10 (does the plate say "Regimental Police" ? - then you would have a historically important Lightweight , how much extra worth - some £ , but hard to say. Bit of a compilation with it seems a few sec. of Stanley at the end, I may be wrong but the bulk with the POW's , dropped rifles & helmets , burial of the dead - is that Goose Green, Darwin - the start of fighting by the para's ?

Yes , now as clear as day ,somebody has parked it up levelled out on the chassis for floor joists and set the shuttering for the corner blocks at same level - I wonder how many years ago ?

Looking at those four concrete blocks on the ground - probably foundations for some sort of covered structure. Looks too well preseved if not kept dry.

OK - like most things in life , best not to get into oversimplification. I am going on memory here because I have got rid of all of my course notes etc. The question is this , if a person had been badly injured by the broken rope (or killed) then sooner or later it would come to the notice of the police and a "Enforcing Authority" that could be a Local Authority or the HSE. If it were a truly private event (By invitation only) on private owned land or land hired for a event - then the enforcing authority would have no right of investigation & subsequent prosecution , possibly the police would. If this were a riverbank - say part of a camp site or event field WHERE ENTRY IS BY PAYMENT OF GATE MONEY - IN other words WHERE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN ATTEND ,then a "Enforcing Authority" would have to investigate and prepare a case for the DPP. Some people may recall in the news several months ago prosecution of a "Sculptor" following his work of art "Dreamspace" being blown away at Chester-le-Street , Durham. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/8662948.stm

Pity this thread degenerated in to a lack of respect to alternative viewpoints . Not that I would endorse damage to revetments and another persons "River bank management & flood defences" OR new frontiers to the worst types of the green laning movement. Good entertainment for the troops - YES , possibly the next time the Stolly should have a cargo of concrete railway sleepers and tree trunks and give a demonstration of the loader crane and how the task can be done with no river bank damage or winch assistance.

On the run -in to the beach it was decided to mount a Scorpion and Scimitar side by side in the bows of the landing craft ready to blast at any enemy on the beach when the bow ramp was lowered, thus giving the LCU formidable fire power. The Scorpion mounts a 76mm L23 gun, and the Scimitar has a 30mm Rarden cannon. One of HMS Fearless's LCUs was lost during the Falklands War. Foxtrot Four, skippered by Colour Sergeant Brian Johnston and his crew of three Royal Marines and two naval rating were killed on 8th of June when Foxtrot Four was bombed and sunk by Argentine aircraft in Choiseul Sound. Johnstone was awarded the Queens Gallantry Medal for his bravery in rescuing survivors from HMS Antelope earlier in the campaign. ------------------------ Go to britains-small wars.com . Falklands . Stand-by to the Beach. Unfortunately I am having difficulty posting the direct link I would think most of info. on the britains-small wars website will be correct.

Well - if you recall the Falklands Conflict and the news blackout with 24 hour delay , like WW2 most of the newsreel would possibly be a re-enactment. I once spent a bit of time looking at these newsreels looking for Land Rovers to try and decipher any VRM's. The winner writes the history in any case - so who knows , I doubt if the camera team went in with what may have been an oppsed beach landing ?

About 50 sec. in - is that a Bedford ready to go ?

I have witnessed what used to be called "single trip shackles" brand marked with SWL , submitted for proof test (2 x SWL) and they failed on the tensile rig at 1/4 of the marked SWL. You can't beat genuine Crosby or equiv.

To come under Loler Regs. - lifting within a certain degree of vertical (not loading out by winching) , and then arguably business for hire or reward , I forget been retired 5 years now. AFAIK - I still have the UK record for re-testing of Demag & Gottwald mobile struts - well over 840 tonne on the hook

Within the space of a couple of min. the Stolly was :- 1. Rolling Load 2. Dead weight 3. Bruce anchor in various combinations of

Allan Allard produced a good book on the subject , first published 1982. The 1984 re-print is a good book on quality paper. The 1986 book has greater content but on cheaper paper. Unfortunately very little specifically on the 2.1/4 petrol conversion , a bit more on their 2.1/4 diesel conversion (brings performance in line with standard petrol). Only the black & white photograph of 23 FM 26 as already shown in this thread - and then DIY endgame when Rover bolted a turbo on the 12J and all the Jap imports.

You are a lot nearer to the RM Museum than I am - perhaps you will beat me there to follow the line of research , I would like to make a appointment to review photographs. I have a note somewhere , info. from Mark Cook suggesting the files to request in advance. I have more or less drawn a blank on in service photographs to date off the internet , this is what is now required for the radiator blinds. -------------------- Pro-Tech Precicion (C.J. Williams) advised (letter 8th May 1992) that they did not convert my Rover, heat exchanger (Ser. 03616) was supplied August 1988 , this vehicle to have been converted by the Army after 1988. This style of radiator blind is by MOD , the drawing they supplied is for the hook type (my truck has never had grille hooks fitted) :- Enclosed is a typical Radiator Grille Blind drawing, this is the only type supplied as additional equipment. The modified tilt and flaps are not of C.J. Williams supply. There is possibility of a few dp schemes :- Arctic white white/black black/green black/green/white (apparently - paint half the green white for 1/3,1/3,1/3

Have a look at the details on Dave's (Disco2003) website. http://www.land-rover-lightweight.co.uk/WinterisedA.html#New My blind of same style, has a metal strip approx. 1" x 1/8" section across the dumb-irons - pop-riveted in situ. along with the canvas straps & brass buckles to furl it up when not in use. Probably similar stowage , but could be used with other styles if high & low level hooks had been fitted on the grille-panel , it could then possibly have been used to hook the tension springs on. I think there was a S3 with similar dimensions to the S2A blind , alternatively the other S3 blind could be used , this was used on civvy style bodywork (there was a couple of threadbar / rods for high/low blind positions - these were secured with hex. nuts between the inner wings).

I would have considered that a tractor , limber and gun - retained all pre-existing rights , however only a Court of Law has final shout. It is always wise to keep up to date with what DfT thinking and opinion is (well this is as recent as 08/3/2010). Dear *.*. *****, Thank you for your enquiry. I have attached our factsheet on towing with relation to that part of your enquiry. Regarding the specifics of the ‘Cardiff Bay Road Train’, Under normal circumstances, tourist land trains (such as the one used in Cardiff Bay) cannot legally be used on public roads as they contravene certain aspects of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (C&U) - in particular, regulation 83 which limits the number of trailers vehicles are permitted to draw. However, land trains are permitted to operate for low speed, sightseeing operations provided the operator has obtained a Vehicle Special Order (or License) issued by the Secretary of State for Transport under section 44 of the Road Traffic Act 1998. If granted, the Vehicle Special Order authorises exceptions from certain aspects of the C&U Regulations subject to terms and conditions specified on the Order. I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions please get back to me. The Department cannot give an authoritative interpretation of the law; that is a matter for the courts. Yours sincerely Martin Rogers DfT – Transport Technology and Standards
