Excellent news - I'm in Huntingdon

Others are around.

There's a Challenger prototype at the East of England Tank Museum (or there was, if I'm remembering right).

There's also a Challenger 1 in Duxford.

Wow, I have one of the Swiss jackets in the urban/night blue camouflage scheme from back at university. A few of us got them from a local army surplus shop down near Ipswich. It's easily the best coat I've ever had, hence still hanging onto it.

I once got an entire weeks shopping in all the pockets - the amount of storage has to be seen to be believed. It made us wonder quite what all the pockets were meant for, especially the one inside. I don't suppose you have any idea?

I'd use some copper slip rather than normal oil if you were going to - its rated to a high temperature.

There's a video here that looks like the sa,e one - built out of an MTLB according to the text -

Caught in the act of spying.

Danger - U Eggs B

The curved front one is a Zil, the square fronted one is a Ural. There's a lot of similarity between the two.

There are manuals downloadable on here - http://www.russianmilitarytrucks.com/

Good fun and easy to drive, though a pig to get started - I've been shown two different ways and theres definitely a knack to it that I don't have

This is one of my web pages which was moved to http://www.geocities.ws/cmpvehicles/dodge_t212.html

 

It features the 8-cwt Dodge, not the 15-cwt.

Ah cool - my apologies for the mix-up.

Here it is - a Dodge D15 with 13 cab on this page -

There are a couple of photos on the web archive from an old geocities website here -

I'm sure I've seen a picture of a CMP D15 with a 13 cab somewhere but I cant find it now.

Reading the blue light use website it mentions the use of a flashing light on vehicles with road signs attached. I wonder what the rules are on this? Could you put the blue/white arrow sign on the back of a slow vehicle like roadworks vehicles?

Just spotted this thread - I've been out of the military vehicle scene for a few months due to work commitments.

Drop me a PM with what you need and I'll see what I can do when I get in, or put you in touch with the right folks.

After sampling the latest delicacy from the mess tent, a normal heimlich maneuver simply wasn't sufficient.

It is a bomb dump....

That should flush the enemy out.

Any thoughts

From the bit on top, I wonder if the firing mechanism is triggered by an incoming shuttlecock from two guys on a biplane......

Too late for the compo, but looking at this all I can think is

"I really wanted to be a submariner"

I have to pee.

I think the guy at the back is thinking "I Just Did"

Court Martial Log 31, Regimental Headquarters, 1300 hours. "No sir, we said we were going into town for some local talent and hose"

As I seem to be doing this on a semi-regular basis, I have started numbering these to keep better track of them.

OK lads, Now put it on some rough terrain and we're ready for the photos. Gently.... Gentleeeeeeey.

Thats the last time we serve curried beans in the mess before PE.
