Looks a very interesting place!

Hi all, it's been a while since I've been on here as life tends to get in the way of the hobby! Anyway I had a problem 2 years ago with my mk1/2 ferret and basically parked it under cover to wait its turn for me to look at it, well yesterday was that day, brought 2 new batteries for it ,popped them on and she fired up, all going well so far! Reversed her out all ok, went to drive her back in and as the ground is quite uneven and grassy I accelerated a tad more, she then just sat there spinning the front offside wheel and the was a lot of banging and crunching coming from the front drive shaft next to my left leg and this seemed also to be coming from the wheel as well! Now the original problem was I had taken her out for a drive when there was an almighty bang from that wheel with the same banging and crunching noise, as it was getting dark and we had no phone signal I slowly drove her home as I wasn't to far away. I was hoping that the handbrake on that side had stuck on then basically the shoe or shoe assembly has broken but I'm now thinking before I get the wheel off could this be a wheel station that has gone? I really hope it's not!!! Has anyone ever come across this before?

I regret to announce that Roy williams the founder of the Powys and mid Wales military vehicle trust sadly passed away yesterday from a brain haemorrhage, he emigrated some time ago to Canada but was well remembered by people due to his fantastic displays that he put on. Members of the Oswestry military vehicle club (formerly Powys and mid Wales mvt) send our sincere condolences to his wife Ann Williams.

Hi Degsy have you got his details please

Can anyone suggest a company to rebuild a 24v starter motor?

What a bargain!

Well what can I say wet,wet,wet but a massive thank you for those that turned up! And shame on you that didn't! My massive bug bear is trying to organise a show and people saying yes we're coming then not turn up because it's wet and windy!!

Hi have just deleted lots!

Looking for traders and vehicles for the Oswestry military vehicle show come on guys support this event!!

Bumpy bump

Hi unfortunately no trade stands but we are looking for traders for our show at Oswestry over weekend of 22/23 august

Any Takers?

Any idea what its worth before i put it on ebay?

Hi all has anyone any idea what this is? I was told it is something to do with a fire extinguisher system in an engine bay of a ferret?

Apologise for not getting back to this thread sooner, yes my fault wrong date!! It is the 4th July for the one day, the vehicles and displays are to be dotted around Wrexham town centre, unfortunately I can't make it due to another commitment but I'm hoping to gain some interest for other people to go.

Hi all just a quick message regarding a request for vehicles (all eras) for an event being organised in Wrexham on the 4th july i am putting the feelers out for as many vehicles as possible to attend for more info please pm me

Back for 2015 oswestry military show 22nd/ 23rd August pm me your email address for forms, to be held at park hall farm oswestry Shropshire

I'm very lucky I've got all 3 mentioned above, it all boils down to how much gear you want to cart to a show as you'll find out half the stuff that people take they don't need, personally a 9x9 is ample for a long weekend

Hi all, just testing the water to see what interest there would be in holding a military vehicle show in Oswestry Shropshire, this is something that we have done before but now that we are no longer part of the mvt we have to pay for our own event public liability insurance which is alot! If there is enough interest then we would be looking at holding it in sept...so over to you guys please pm me if you would be interested in coming

I see on another thread regarding the LCT my words ring true!!!

Good luck with trying to deal with Peel ports,not sure if anyone followed HMS Plymouth but to cut a long story short they sold that for scrap threw a company they set up just for it, once ship went to Turkey they wound the company up so not to leave a paper trail. They are only interested in profit and not our heritage to them they are just scrap!!!

Best thing is, she didnt actually belong to Peel Ports!!!

Could we have an update on this please

I think maybe some updates on here would raise awareness oh how popular the ship is

Thanks guys, if you check out on the links supplied at the top a lot of injustices have been made! And a lot of interest is being raised on national tv and newspapers to stop this vessel being scrapped
