mario was my hero I saw him at bovvy with a gama goat so i went out and bought one and had some fun green laning etc with it. wish i had one still now:blush:

The latest one is a sherman turret in the middle of a field ha ha and the hull of the sherman in the lake nearby.Ive had a look again this morning and the only thing i found was a duck and not the gmc version............................

After spending two days metal detecting. And digging lots of holes in a field (with a slew) looking for buried jeeps and harleys that were supposedly buried in 1946 when a very large local army camp was cleared. I now do not believe there were any us army vehicles buried until some one can prove me wrong. The rumour has been in the area that I live in since the war and one chap said he actually buried the kit but cryed off at the last minute when we asked him to show us where on the land it was buried. So until there are pictures of a real in the flesh jeep in a crate or harley in a box dont believe a word of it. The only vehicle that was found was a dinky toys electric milk float!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine working as an RSPB ranger for a season sent me these three photos of an old trailer out somewhere in northern Scotland.

 

Not quite a scrap yard relic, but it is certainly looking rather tired.

 

I don't even think it is military; perhaps someone more knowledgable than I might be able to identify it.

An avro anson flying around bruton but I didnt think there were any flying in this area? It looked grey in colour with red flashes on the tail and wings any ideas?

Did it come from a place near bristol called yate? Fantastic project looking forward to seeing it done:-)

Just seen a seafury being flown over bruton did a loop the loop as well sounds gorgeous seems to be around this way quite a lot playing any one got an idea where it lives?

You could do like I did when I retored my 11 cab fat I went out and bought a tamiya model and scaled it up! alternativeley find somone with a quad and ask if you could go and have a measure up.

Recently returned from missing the Olympics by going to Alaska.

Seems that there are a few MV's lurking in and out of the undergrowth out there, along with may other interesting old vehicles.

Could not get pictures of everything as most were seen in passing or were off the road on private property.

So sorry no pictures of the weasel spotted on the Denali Highway or the Lightweight Land Rover heading up towards the Hetcher Pass.

 

Mot sure if the Jeep was ex-mil or civvy original, but was the better of about 6 that were lurking in one area.

 

No idea what the others are exactly as not that good with US stuff, but mo doubt somebody knows.

PS: The Mercedes is for interest only as was actually German registered.

Ive got a 7 cylinder radial aero engine and a rolls merlin stashed away for later. Im hoping to trailer mount them eventually and run them for demonstrations.

Im from deepest darkest somerset and am restoring an ex military allen scythe of all things and have other projects to get round to that are a lot bigger.

Thats strange if it was Steves M4, as it was well north of where he lives when I got behind it.

Apparently it was going back to jasons house near bristol......

At about 06:45 this morning heading north on the A36 the Allied Forces Diamond T with Rogers trailer carrying Jim Clarks Allis Chalmers M4 High Speed Tractor. I couldn't get past so I turned the car stereo off wound down the windows and enjoyed the music coming from the Ts exhaust. Driving at 28 mph has never been so enjoyable.

Its not allied forces Diamond T its jason jefferies T and steve whitehouses m4

I didnt Know jim clarke had finished his m4 tractor?
