Peter, your previous work on removing and replacing the cab roof is ingenious and may offer a solution to other owners of other types of vehicles. What I find interesting is how they did knock down and rebuilds for export to the front line in war time. I guess they were not too concerned for the paint work. Do you have the history of this vehicle, as its quite rare in preservation and not the kind of vehicle of use in civi street?

And the Dodge T212 looks better in desert colours!

Some 'similar vehicles' from the end of WW2 and the shows I have attended over the last 40 or more years Armed Germans AFTER WW2 on guard, with Dutch civilians would make an interesting display at an MV show. A Dodge T212 that has disappeared I'm not sure of the identity of the Canadian Red Cross vehicle r it colour which I guess is Camo Green G3 A Canadian Otter , showing what British Olive Drab SC.15 looked like in May 1945 Sadly I had some photos of preserved MV / Water Bowsers, but home computers and scanners, did'nt exist when they were taken

Thanks all for your replies. I swear that I never posted this question before, so perhaps the Mods would set up a section of HMVF starting with "I am stupid" not I may be

This little box on the offside top of my Lwt wing, is to protect the end of the cable that runs from the Clansman radio to the TUUAM? In later vehices had the box under the wing and a strangely shaped lid. What is its official name? sed to protect the end of the

I have used NGK spark plugs on my Lwt for years but with Powerspark electronic ignition fitted which is best, as I have always avoided those with an R in the title which I understand is R for resister or resisted? But what does that do for the ignition? So BP5ES or BPR5ES?

Thanks all for your feedback. I guess the German authorities are extremely cautious over heavy tracked vehicles, but in England as in France, a terrorist can steal a medium sized truck and run over pedestrians, as happen in Nice. In London I see heavy concrete blocks or heavy steel barriers put in place to keep vehicles on the pavement, in high risk areas - but I could just drive into any cyclists or pedestrians anywhere - so we cannot ever be 100% safe. Its perhaps best to keep the people trying to kill innocent civilians out of the country! And Paul, I got to Militracks 2024 and it was great.

I have heard that for German residents, it is now illegal to own a fully armoured vehicle, wheeled or tracked. However, I have also heard that with the the drivers position open, it may be permitted (but with the original armour cut out, around the driver) What is the truth? Does a Panther Tank get the thumbs down whereas a Sdkfz 251 would be ok as there is no roof armour?

Back about 10 or 15 years ago I used to see German WW2 half-tracks and a restored Jagdpanther and even Rommels staff car from North African campaign, at shows like Military Odyssey and Duxford I think there was an exhibition at one show, (possibly Military Odyssey) of Sdkfz 250 and Sdkfz 251 and other types, that have all disappeared. I think there was a Sdkfz.com organisation at one time. Have they been sold abroad?

The bowser looks to be camouflaged with grass! What is left of it?

Its a Dennis Pig, like the one above in Malta I guess its impressed

Old post I realise, but were these Brockhouse Fuel Bowser trailers used just for fuel or sometimes for oil? I guess many photos of them with 100 in a circle confirms the subject was for 100 Octain fuel, but I am sure I have seen another photo somewhere with Oil written on the side?

Yes, thats a Dennis AM 30/40 cwt , and quite rare to be in the Middle East and to have a box body.. According to Bart Vanderveen, only around 1,000 were built (or nearly 1,000) So I guess it was not so useful on the civi market as a Bedford QLD Many thanks for posting

Anyone?
