Chris,
Totally agree with you about the FV430 series at Usk Tank School
But I think their T54 would qualify !
Was only trying to be helpful.

Anyone ?

All,
Thanks for the info.
From what I can understand U.S. troops used orange coloured panels draped across their vehicles during the Normandy campaign.
I was wondering if U.K. and Canadians used the same ?

I believe that U.S. vehicles used orange air recognition panels during the Normandy campaign in WW11.
Did the U.K. and Canadians use a similar panel on their vehicles ?
If so, what size and colour ?
Thanks, in anticipation,
Barrie
Anyone, any knowledge?

Morning All,
On a rather damp South Wales morning, viewing Milweb I see that there is someone in Hungary reproducing the towed U.S. 37mm Gun M3, anti-tank gun.
I was wondering if anyone had purchased one and what the quality/attention to detail was like?
Regards,
Barrie

Try the South East Wales MVT
and
South Wales MVT
Brecon Beacons falls in between the two areas.
Not sure if anyone locally has a water bowser [?]
Area secretaries details are on the MVT web-site.

I have just purchased an AM-2060 on a MT-1029 mount to fit into the rear of my Ford M151A1.
On the rear, passenger side, wing I already have a RT-246 on a MT-1029 mount connected to the vehicle electric supply and to an AS-1729 aerial/matching assembly.
I hope to fit the AM-2060/PRC25/MT-1029 on the rear, driver’s side, wing. Am I correct in saying that the new MT-1029 connects to the existing MT-1029 using…….
Cable Assembly, Power, Electrical CX-4721/VRC
Which is a four pin male to four pin female.
If so where can I get hold of such a cable?

I don't know if other Amateurs have thought of a frequency/channel for use at War & Peace Revival? [Or am I being rather dull and missed a previous post ] If not, here's a suggestion, how's about 51.600 for the VHF sets, most older British have a calibration point at 51.600, and 433.600 for modern Amateur sets ? Any thoughts/observations ..........
-
Yes;
Had a similar experience with the afore mentioned company !
I just accepted it, perhaps I shouldn't have done........

Many moons ago, there used to be a LVT, not sure which Mk, on Sennybridge ranges.
Not sure if it still there ?
Can also remember looking at a Daimler Armoured Car and a Churchill on Sennybridge.
[T'was a long time ago !]
Regards
Barrie

Thank-you both.
Obviously as safety comes first and I'm sure you both have much more knowledge than myself.......
I take it as a resounding , 'no'.
Back to the drawing board !
Thanks

I've been toying with the idea of building a 220 volt [mains] -to- 24 volt transformer inside a Clansman 24 volt battery case.
I have been looking at ......
Brand new 24V 2A DC Regulated Switching Transformer Power Supply
on e-bay and was thinking this would provide enough voltage/current for a Clansman 351.
The power supply would be housed inside an empty Clansman battery case, a mains cable exiting the battery box [possibly using a kettle style plug and socket] and the 24 volt output connected to the normal battery -to- radio connection tags.
Does anyone foresee any problems ?
Thanks
Barrie

Thank-you all.....

Hello to everyone on the forum......
Have been involved in military vehicles for more years than I care to remember.
Currently own a well travelled Ford M151A1 MUTT, which I drove back from Southern France some 9 years ago , a Hotchkiss M201 and an ex SFSG Honda Quad.
Thanks,
Barrie
Exercise Pilgrims Progress
in MV Chatter
Posted
Heard on the grapevine that the Army in Wales will be holding 'Exercise Pilgrims Progress' in South East Wales, using private land, during April 2015.
Has anyone any idea what vehicles may be used/what to look out for ?
Thanks
Barrie
