  3. Last few pictures look like a recovery to me .. 1920 s ?

  7. I started on what I thought was going to be an easy job years ago, but it also turned into a task. Anyway, we are still married .........
  8. Hiding from a ferret ?
  9. To be honest, I know nothing about this other than its gun number 17 and I was advised by another hmvf member it was from Portugal. It certainly has portugese brass labels on it. Everything has got number 17 stamped on it !! i have got to get the tyres replaced ( they actually have WD and the arrow on them ) and althought the bearings seem to be very good, I will get some spares just in case
  10. That's sounds great, I would like that. I will p.m you when I get home

    DO 17 raising

    I personally think that if somebody is willing to use their own money to bring it up, then it's up to them. Like most of us, I had family that fought in WW2 and we all lived in the east end of London - we got well bombed, but saying that its still a hunk of metal littering the sea bed at the moment, and if its raising makes more people aware of what occurred 70 odd years ago and the sacrifices made, that's a good thing. this is just my twopence worth and I am not arguing with other people's views.
  12. Not yet, but if they keep flying those big jets out of Southend airport and waking me up in the middle of the night ......!
