  2. "Commercial Logistics" more or less civvy with a few bolt-ons , such as NATO towing pack , HD suspension & shocks , bonnet spare-wheel mtg. http://www.emlra.org/index.php/articles/land-rovers-gs-cl-ffr

  8. Go back a few days and read post Au QUOTE EXCAVATIONS CONTINUE Polish authorities are continuing preparations to excavate the buried railway siding, with trees and shrubs covering the mound set to be cleared. The train is said to be buried under 12 metres of rubble and soil in what used to be a siding carved out of a hillside, not a secret tunnel as initially reported.
  9. media event / circus , burial of military hardware - thinking in terms of billions and billions of $ in gold , deterioration of story until you arrive at extreme poison gas Go to page 172 1. MOTIVE 2. MEANS 3. OPPORTUNITY http://www.scribd.com/doc/260010985/Assumed-Missing-Reported-Buried-as-Published-23-March-2015

  12. Can't quite see the edges , up to abt. 1979 they were "tern" (tin coated steel - same as Rolls Royce) & seam folded , however the top seam was a wide solder run and often cracked. Later tanks were gas welded at edge seams. btw , certain these heaters are not in the Optional parts catalogue.

Ballyhoo subsidance - I detect..
  14. Bloodhound missile sites probably earliest, certain weapons storage sites, IIRC the last S3 Diesel 88" MOD contract (Tri-service "KD" )was only nominal RAF - they were manned by USA in UK , hence the 7.50 tyres as standard. The RN also had some diesel. Show a photograph of the tank - it may be possible to date it..

  16. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/11/polish-explorer-nazi-underground-tunnels Situation seems to be , publicity whipped up until governmental funds are found and Polish army instructed to secure area , then start procedure to complete a thorough final and definative search. Financial resources and required permissions for privateers out of the question..

  23. Never (yet) had need to remove them - where there has been access from the rear. Then - you don't know the exact type you are up against, pitch /start , some of the fine thread pin type have barbs for grip where security is the intention. You will not wind out a very fine spline type with a long start into steel or cast iron.
