a true shame that this could happen

we simply must accept that certain people haven't got any intrest in history , no preservation , nor conservation for them. very very sad !!:cry:

went with our demo team , found some nice things for our ongoing projects , made other people happy with stuff as well , in short , we all had a wonderfull day , even when we had about 1000 km driving to do:nut:

yer loads of projects in mind but which one to go with, thought of pak 40 opel blitz, or me 109 ,wot do you think cheers will

My God , did you mention a Messerschmitt 109 ? That would be a real challenge !

If you need plans , I got a nice book with all the variants of tis magnificient piece of German Technology

Can't wait to see you get started on that !

Hi Jean ,

Welcome on the forum ,

we have a strong band with the Canadians , being our liberators (N W of Belgium) , and our annual Canadian ceremonies on one of the biggest War Cemeteries of the country,

We even have our own "Canadian Museum"

German army confiscated almost every vehicle they could lay their hands on , also the Belgian heavy artillery tractors "Brossel". After taking it here in Belgium , one of the tractors were send to the Eastern front , where the machine was very useful for the German invaders. The story goes , the German commander send a letter to the Brossel factory , to say thank you for the superb tractors. One of the tractors is in the Artillery Museum in Brasschaat , near Antwerp, where it is going to be restored.

nice find , I too would like to see her 'after cleaning up ' , amazed that these relics still turne up .

I heard from a friend , who's father is active in river works , he found 3 German trucks , fully loaded with gear , weapons , ammo , on the Polish - Russian border . Authorities confiscated it all , because of patriotic value. Sorry , no pictures available

The vintage aviator is a fantastic site to browse , lots of photos , interesting projects , I love it !!

Hi David , welcome aboard !

Are you a member of the North East Military Vehicle Association ?

A lot of work to do , at least you've got the base to start with , that's far more than the majority can say ,

good luck and courage with the restoration , I'm a fan of this project !!

Heard it on our news report today , a great lady has passed away , may she rest in peace.

:)congratulations , you're doing a very nice job on that armoured car , i'd like to see the result !

Great restoration project , engine looks fabulous:)

Very nice indeed , but I miss the Soviet infantry flanking the assault on those German strongpoints in the bush !!:cool2:

Thanks for all the input everybody, making headway, have sent an enquiry to Fabory.

 

currently looking at getting them from Canada as i have a friend over there that can send them. they are readily available in the states and Canada for very good prices.

 

Cheers
