Nice find, it looks good and period. I have never heard of the Kermath before

I suppose you have checked the obvious things like sticking throttle cable, butterfly actually closing fully? It must be getting excess air from somewhere, are there any vacuum tubes missing or something like that, and have you tried dribbling a little fuel on the manifold joints to see if the speed changes. Is the throttle spindle worn? I am not really familiar with the Munga, but those are the things that come to mind.

trevor

Ah, an eccentric nut...

trevor

I see you are making good progress!

Is that stepped part of the A-frame original, as I see that the other trailers shown do not have it?

trevor

Ah, and I was only wondering yesterday about progress

trevor

Is that a spotting rifle on the top bore axis?

...and are they spotting rifle empty cases strewn on the ground?

trevor

OK, here goes. It's a bit late and uploader seems to be struggling, so more for tomorrow

So we assume it was shooting to the right from the direction everyone is looking...

I did not realize they made such a flash, was that not a problem?

trevor

thanks guys but the truth is I still failed. although there was nothing else i could have done without spending some time in a german prison.

anyway it has strengthen my resolve to try harder next time !

You did not fail, rick, you merely did not succeed, because at least you made the huge effort to do something, and that is something I can respect.

Just think of yourself merely at the Dunkirk stage

trevor

Nice collection of 'new' parts, even if I am not sure what they all are

trevor

That must have been a grand moment, when you lifted the clutch and she moved

trevor

Amazing job on that cooler - I would have been begging to watch some paint dry half way through...

trevor

OMG, Richard, I thought for a moment you meant the Ashford tank....

trevor

Hi, Wojtek, welcome!

Where are you in Poland? I am in Lublin.

trevor

For those cold, wet, huddling inside days, have you considered an F-2 electrically heated flying suit replica? :cool2:

trevor

It may be marked with the opening temperature, so all you have to do is place it in a pan of water, heat the water gently, and use a thermometer to check that it opens and then later closes at that temperature. I would leave it in the housing, though, it might be a tad fragile after all these years.

Is the warning triangle mounted on an old T plate, or is it just my eyes going?

trevor

Now 'all' you have to do is stitch it all back together :cool2:

Reminds me of the time I was installing some development kit on an aircraft at Tattenhill airfield and an aircraft used for towing gliders came in to land without the towline fully wound back in. The cable caught in the perimeter fence, almost seeming to stop the aircraft dead in the air, before the cable let go and swung around over the tops of the cows in the field, over the top of the parked aircraft and me. I nearly jumped in my car to chase him down the airstrip.

So, we could define a tank as a vehicle that is designed to go anywhere with ease, except onto a trailer. Does this make a trailer the best defence there is against a tank?

trevor

Nice! :cheesy:

I assume from what I can see that this has at least most of the conversion kit so you can tow it, though it looks like it needs a little bit of love and care!

trevor

Spent yesterday Liberation Day parked up next to a Scorpion, wincing every time someone said 'OOH LOOK!!! A TANK'.

Well, as long as it is not 'OOH LOOK, SCRAP METAL!'

trevor

It's coming along nicely, and it is very red - no risk of losing it in Tesco's carpark

trevor

So in my loft I clearly have a water reconnaissance vehicle?

trevor

Yes, a fantastic piece of work!

trevor

I am so glad to see more progress, this is my favourite artillery restoration
