I would say the new spray gun works fine mate , lovely job !

What a shame , my parents visited this year while on holiday and said how friendly and accomodating the staff where ! Hope all the vehicles that where on the to do list there are still to be preserved ! I really enjoyed seeing the museum on the TV rebuilding the Comets also !

Certainly is a superb collection !:-D

Very nice mate ! :-D

Come on you two the suspense is killing me !

Well done chaps ! Glad its all going well ! :-D

What a beautiful day for a run out ! Thank you John for the trip out to Bognor in your lovely Explorer ! Sea was flat and blue like mid summer ! Hooray for global warming !:-D Hope you had a safe journey home mate ! I'm back next Sunday with the family to explore the rest of this fantastic museum and see the autumn vehicle show , in the same sunshine hopefully ! :-D http://www.amberleymuseum.co.uk/events-1/autumn-vintage-vehicle-show

aye just ya link didnt work lol

Ah yes ! Bloody modern technology , just when I get the hang of it some bright spark has to update something and ruin it all ! :-D

Hi Nick , you have to be patient and wait til after the first few vehicles have negotiated the hairpin ! :cool2:

Little bit of Explorer action in this video ! :-D

Good to see a man who saves historic aircraft for future generations ! Where would we be now without the same type of chaps who preserved the Spitfires and all the other great old Warbirds all those years ago ? :-D

Righto John , hope to see you there ! :-D

Hi John , yes I am planning on a visit ! The museum looks very interesting thats without the bonus of a Scammell photo opportunity thrown in ! :-D Not sure which day will be the best for Scammell activity , any inside info mate ? :-)

Just thought some of our members might like a heads up on this event next weekend :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D http://www.amberleymuseum.co.uk/events-1/scammell-run-event

Hi Howard would the ring not be all that is required to seal the joint ?

Good to see the museum is looking after the old war horse ! This is 2008 military vehicle show !

Might be a bit premature to say but a fire can occur in any vehicle and to me it looks like the skipper may have beached her to allow the passengers to escape the fire ! Just my opinion of course ! :-D

My friend owns a Bedford mj. He has a hgv licence at the moment. It weights 5 tonne plated for 9 tonne gross. What needs to be done to drive it on his ordinary driving licence. He is worried that at some time he will lose his Hgv licence he is 65 now.

It is possible to retain your HGV licence into your seventies I believe , a yearly medical is required though ! :-D

Lovely collection of classics John !

Check this out another vehicle aimed at military buyers using standard civilian equipment with a few mods. Makes a very versatile piece of recovery gear. Be a long time before i can afford one from the auctions.

 

 

Gutted , just too long for my back garden !:-D

Thanks for taking the time to share the photos Rob , very interesting ! :-D

Good to see another one saved ! Look forward to hearing of progress ! Good luck with her ! :-D

Very nice and good to see her being so well looked after ! :-D

A few of my photos from Saturday , didn't see much diesel heavy haulage because of the roller record being staged that day ! Roll on next year !:red:
