  1. Not really l have the lists of theFV401 FV420 FV421 that were at FVRDE/MEXE as l said there is more to the story than just a few pictures 10 AVD ARMOURED VEHICLE DEPOT l will look if l have it's location
  2. After a bit more digging l would like to add the following P1 was number W4 and numbered 06 EB 04 and was transferred to SEME on the 27/7/68 P2 was number W3 and renumbered 06 EB 03 and transferred to RMSC SHRIVENAM on the 8/9/69 W2 06 EB 02 was first sent to the RAC CENTRE BOVINGTON on the 6/4/67 and transferred to REME APPRENTICE SCHOOL ARBORFIELD on the 3/12 71 last 06 EB 01 was sent to 10 AVD date not published It would appear that more FV 421 were built than FV 437 There is a lot more to the story of the FV 400 series than you may first think and it began as early as 1950
  3. JUST watched WATER OBSTACLE the one with W2 is 06 EB 02 06 EB 01 was clearly shown THOSE displaying DA series ERM should be able to find
  4. just look at the video 06 EB 01 winches the the Stalwart out when stuck on the track
  5. It appears there were two prototypes P1/ 6937 and P2 /7145 these are there establishment numbers and did not receive ERM numbers The others had numbers 06 EB 01 06 EB 02 06 EB 03 06 EB 04 and establishment numbers in order 6968/7009/7016/7026 I NEED to look further it would help to know the ERM one at CHATHAM to help confirm the above
  6. I started to look and found mention of FV401 FV 438 and FV 439 but will continue to search only about a eighth of the way through
  7. A number of oxford carriers were sold in 1959 with numbers ZT and ZU at RUDDINGTON
  8. l think you should try DESA and ask them if they can shed any light on this DEFENCE EQUIPMENT SALES AUTHORITY or their predecessor
  9. AS to TM REGISTRATION number these were allocated to trailer machinery as to AS reg l add to it
  10. Your reply does not surprise me there are no records of MS registration either on 419B CARDS or on MERLIN as the sales were handle by a separate government department
  11. Just a bit to add to the SA story the ERM SA it was applied as said to Cromwell that were described as NON-FS to all marks and hull types
  12. CLIVE l will have a look my friend is here just has come with my christmas box of catalogues he was at ludgershall up until he moved he brought some unissued tender catalogues this might interest you shorland 92KH88 in the tender december 1992 some pigs in 1993 along with ferrets 432 433 434 BV 202 SCORPIONS CHIFTIANS
  13. A new find a photograph album of mock up items some of which never got beyond a wooden model
  14. MARK yes it came all dismantled with all the parts to rebuild it but never got round to it to much to do
  15. mark type in the search box museum transport BEVERLEY you will get number of pages click on number six go down on to the first page of the museums closure and will see the DYNA-TRAK and the damage to the rear housing it was obviously parked outside as the card board boxes with all the missing parts in look as they have been rained on
  16. SADLY l need my head phones which l am waiting for my new ones to come just in passing my old boss did the the trials on the DYNA-TRAK and blew the rear drive housing and it came to the museum l might have a picture of it after it had been stood for years out side at FRVDE
  17. MARK the FVRDE are credited why did you think it was MEXE testing the snatch block
  18. my wife catalogues all the files pictures and they are all on computer yes but a lot are in a storage after been catalogued and there future is planned and l have made sure that they will not end up like the collection l and others helped to put together in the archives at the museum of army transport
  19. I do not normally collect things on commonwealth vehicles but this is a new addition there three of these on the 30 cwt wireless chev dated 1948 on hard card board they are 44cmx 35cm and still have the acid free paper attached
  20. the cleaning out goes on these came to light the BOARHOUND that was trialed at WVEE l believe it's the one at BOVINGTON there are quite a few on armoured vehicles in the files
  21. SALES catalogues did not generally give model type only manufacturer and the question as l understood was about VELOCETTE'S
  22. Andy this is what l have found between 1945 and 1949 the following VELOCETTE's all listed as 350cc and out of sales of twenty thousand vehicles of all types one's with wartime census numbers two 4322657 sold for seventy pound 4322914 instructional velo sixty five pounds cannot have much cut the following are all with civilian numbers FTF 176 all the following ENP 653/887/233/662/855/883/861 /661 CAW 925/CUX344/JNU399/ EWU/383 /FTE669/668/443/362. checking those motorcycles declared wrecks and sold as lots there are a number listed As said the BSA/NORTON/MATCHLESS/ARIEL/ JAMES/ TRIUMPHS and AMERICIAN made ones out number the VELOCTTE'S A quick check of post 49 catalogues shows and is showing the abundance BSA and others again the number2 key cards look like the result may show a lack of VELOCETTE'S l will look further and let you know wally /
