    Best I get my scuba tanks out and pull up the HE 111 from the thames off canvey island then !!
  5. Welcome, you will get lots of help here on the HMVF
  6. I would like to take it to some shows so, I hope I can get it in a road worth condition in the near future... Brakes is the next job..
  7. A bit further out but there's one in Colchester I believe.
  8. Well, we went without our truck, and we had a great day. Lancaster was great, displays were good. We hopefully will book in as an exhibitor next year
  9. An hour ago, and After 25 years in a barn, the ferret burst into life once more. And it ran great. Initially it had no spark, so I fitted new leads, which was ok, but when I tried to fit the new distributor cap, it wouldn't sit right. Looking at the old cap, I noticed that there was a small chip in the rim, where the condenser nut was obviously fouling. Turns out that the washer under the nut was a bit thick, so after the offending washer was removed, it fitted perfectly and hey presto now I had a great spark at the plug. I filled up the carb with fresh petrol and to my surprise it started straight away. So obviously I am now Mr. well pleased from Essex !
  10. Thank you very much indeed for the information. I am glad to report that it started today for the first time in 25 years.
  11. Was booking in required ? Or can you just take your MV along ? It doesn't really say on the website
  12. Oh I wished he could have seen Jane take to the skies
  13. Thank you very much for doing that. Yes I couldn't have imagined it would have been with a para squadron. does anyone know how many mk4s were made ,- and how are left ? It's the big day tomorrow ( subject to the distributor cap arriving ) to see if it will start.
  14. Those kids do look a bit close as that amphibian was getting into the drink.... One accident and it could ruin the way shows are held, or the uproar could even make a show an unviable proposition
  15. You can normally tell if its a scam as the real paypal normally quotes your name whereas the spoof normally starts with something like " dear client" but your right , still be careful !
