  3. ROSS l have watched your journey to find the history of your quad with interest from BURMA TO NORH AFRICA then to your own country and your efforts to uncover its story well done and keep the great job on bringing it back to life REGARDS WALLY
  4. just noticed today that all the MAN trucks at the defence school of transport all have the same white cross fitted at the rear as you describe so its still in use today
  5. THIS a new one on me a single catalogue for a sale on the 23rd of February 1949 at a area named BURMA PARK KNOTTINGLEY l have friends who live in the area but have never heard of it any way lot 1911 is of interest to me
  6. THE rectangular boxes you describe sound like the left and right antenna assemblies for the EECM EQUIPMENT also fitted to DROPS
  7. STEVE it may sound daft but does your 110 have a military registration number if it came into service before 1990 then merlin would not show any history as its history would be on a 419 B card which DEEPCUT may have
  8. LAUREN we used to try and reply within 5 working days THE RLC USE THE REASON THAT they rely on volunteers l have two friends that have been waiting now 2 months for a reply

  11. 79X100 from your name l think this is what flies your kite and why not l hope this is what you like l had hoped that these sales documents would create interest and debate as for me it has helped dispel some of the myths about what happened at these sales The 25 pound jeep the motor bikes in the back of a truck bought for 150 pounds we have all heard the tales
  12. THIS sale was held on the 8th of December 1947 the lot numbers lot 103 and lot 328 are for FODENS both said to be in excellent/new condition and one made a new record price
  13. CHRIS the practise of painting out the lights on vehicle was done early in the war until proper metal covers became available normally they used black paint straight on to the glass leaving a slit or triangle or as been said a circle of thick paper the attached shows it in use just like johns Bedford there was a booklet on the subject of blackout measures issued by the government
  14. JOSEPH l do not know if the CHILWELL list can be viewed on line if so some one may let you know a ROB VAN MEEL used to sell copies if you google his name and chilwell list you may find out if he still sells them REGARDS WALLY
  15. JOSEPH the details of the number will have come from a document refered to as the chilwell list chilwell was and is were military vehicle records are held this list contains details of the contract numbers and the vehicle numbers issued during the second world war IT is more than likely your jeep did serve in the middle east the batch of numbers were as said given to other makes of vehicles besides your jeep
  16. joseph as to the history of your jeeps service history the answer is sadly no mainly as it was sold before 1948 even then there is little information

  20. HI on the question of the overhaul date of 1984 its possible look at post 755 about the one that came back to the museum from GERMANY in 1988 still in service also about the same time there was a rumour that one of the concrete ballasted TRMUs was still in service in the marchwood area
  21. SUE cheer up give the RLC MUSEUM a try if you have the army number which is two numbers two letters two number they may able to help
  22. well l am disappointed no one as commented on lots 1689 to 1693 knowing the interest of some of our two wheel friends in these little gems condition very good average price £40 pounds
