Maverick

Spotted today at 17.25 in East Sussex heading south on A22 nr Polegate a Green US Blazer pick up with a Sad looking blue M38 A1 jeep on a trailer. Anyone on here ??

Sending PM with his Mob No now

So on your basis If I ever introduce a MV owner to another MV owner I then become responsible for their actions for the rest of mine and there lives. How laughable

Your spot on there Martin, totally agree with what you have said. Regarding costs. Public gate money is controled by the Hop farm not Rex

We weren't involved in the incident, the pilot was, we don't need to share the blame as it has nothing to do with us. I could blame you for the maroons going off at night cos you were in the same field as those who set it off. That's the only relationship we had with the pilot, we shared the same bit of field. I know nothing about helicopters so where do I have the power to tell the organiser and the pilot what they can and cant do. Can you fly a Helicopter, are you qualified to disscuss rules and reg reagarding the CAA ??? Lee. I'm surprised at you, your quick enough to correct other people. Re-read my post below We put the pilot and Hop farm in contact with each other, that is as far as our involvement goes so I don't want to hear Rolling Thunder being blamed for any of this 2 All health and safety, license, permission etc etc was all arranged between them. 3 Hop farm and organisers knew about its arrival etc but don't know if all marshals were told? The whole thing was arranged between the pilot and hop farm, we just reserved the space. Please get you facts right.

Hi Guys Here's some information that is correct as I'm a member of Rolling Thunder. 1 We put the pilot and Hop farm in contact with each other, that is as far as our involvement goes so I don't want to hear Rolling Thunder being blamed for any of this 2 All health and safety, license, permission etc etc was all arranged between them. 3 Hop farm and organisers knew about its arrival etc but don't know if all marshals were told? While I agree it could of turned nasty and I don't know the ins and out of helicopters, distances, landing and taking off etc and I'm not say he was right or wrong but once the guy is Airborne he tried his best at keeping it in the Air considering he suffered loss of power twice.

It was the wrecker you saw on the hard shoulder, one of the trailers had a puncture, nothing serious

Hi, If your serious about it send me a PM and I'll give you the owners details but I wouldn't leave it to long before you contact him ???

Just got back from the farm, bowser is still there, measurements are 7ft high, 7ft 5in wide and 15ft long + 6ft towing arm

I Should be up there this weekend so will find out if its still there and I'll take some measurments for you. Its to big for a transit ??? Its located near Basingstoke

Sounds about the same sort of pricing over here, the last US Water Baffalo i saw was for sale at £850. Can't belive the miles you have to do to get things, so easy to forget over here how lucky we are.

Nobody wanted it, not sure if its still there or been cut up??? I can find out though, I was very surprised it wasnt rescued ??

Compared to other military trailers are these expensive in the USA ????

Hi Mark, Thanks for the heads up, as usual time is against us, like you say we need to have a closer look. just wondering what options we have and would it be easier to replace the complete axle rather than rebuild the one we have ??? Will start investigating the problem many thanks

Thanks for the info

Hi Guys I may need some help from the experts here, A friend of mines ward la France came to a grinding hold the other day and we think its the middle axle bearings that have failed So what options do we have on getting the truck up and running again ASAP?? Spoke to Gritineye and he's been very helpful, just want to know what other members think ???? I know Its a bit of a long shot but does anyone know someone who has a spare complete middle axle for a Ward la France ???? Many thanks

Oh yes you were both very happy and enjoying the Sunday night, funky Chicken ??? Is that what you cal it ? Got A phone call from Gary yesterday thanking me for attending and bringing the Truck and Gun, never had that from a show organiser before so very impressed indeed. A very good all round show for the whole family, I've never had so much interest in the Gun at shows before especially from veterans of WW2 and people who were children during the war. I met a lot of very interesting people that weekend Already looking forward to the 2011 show

Just want to say a very big thank you to the organisers for making Overlord 2010 the best show I have attended in a long time. Your hard work and effort went a very long way. I haven't been for over three years now and it felt like I hadn't been away, a very friendly welcome by all the organisers. Special thanks to Gary (sorry don't know is surname, always on a bike or in navy whites in the arena) and Mark Harvey for there help with loading of the gun etc. Good to meet Rosie and the Cubed one. Great looking 105mm howitzer there Richard, I can see you have put a lot of work into it. I couldn't believe the amount of interest I had from veterans and other exhibitors about the Gun and truck, it was non stop all day. Spoke to a lot of the stall holders and they said they were very happy with the show. The amount of public on Sunday and Monday was outstanding, The arena events and battle re-enactment were fantastic, a really mix and something for the whole family.At this rate I think your going to need a bigger field for next year. Cant wait for 2011. Thanks again

I know of another 5 vehicle owners that are taking their MVs to Overlord and not T&T this year

The Cornish have always been Revolting :)

I Have given up with T&T, I have been there for the last 3 years and it just hasnt got better, stalls are junk, its expensive for the public to get it, charge to get in to evening entertainment and now charging to camp in the back field. No chance I'm off and going back to Overlord. Its the MVT who tried to be cleaver so its them who need to change the dates.

Jimmy Front wings, are needed to be reproduced.

So who's going and taking a MV for the weekend and who's day tripping to this great show ???

Great pictures Dave, yes it was a little wet but thanks to you and the cook house we were well supplied with hot drinks as well as breakfast Another good display by the original Easy Company display team

Thanks for the kind words, I've still got more work to do to it before I'm completely happy.
