Ok, a question.

when were the Mungas used by the Berlin Brigade cast off?

And another, did RAFG have any? I know they used a lot of German trucks etc.

All the best

Mark

I may be a bit cheeky asking this on here, but how long does it usually take to get permission to use the emlra forum from when you register?

I registered on tuesday, still waiting for confirmation.

Also, I emailed c&s tat enquiring about a arial mast, still waiting for a reply to that aswell.

All the best

Mark

Bigredone puts on a good display,nice to meet you mate,another face to a name.

the first photo is my mob, forces 80 (www.forces80.com)

Mark

You SOLD a Gipsy Fire Tender! :shocked: :cry: Still want one again very much.

yes, money went towards the ex usaf chevy police car, mind you, the gipsy needed a bit of work doing to it, also was prone to vapour lock!!!

Mark

Yes Mark,

 

Small world is'nt it .

 

After restoring the TACR1 and the ex-Royal Navy Dennis F12 for the museum, I suggested to Steve to bring them to Beltring, probably 1996. While at the show, he saw the need for a co-ordinated fire service for the event and the rest is history.

 

Richard

I havnt seen/spoke to him for a while, lost track of the fire engine world when we sold the Austin Gipsy fire tender, is he still at RAF Northolt?

All the best

Mark

is it a singer?

Mark

ok, will wait till later on on the year, still a cracking museum though!!! Am thinking of joining the friends, can anybody recommend it?

Mark

I wanted to put the photos I took at bovvy on my fotopic site, when I asked, they said no. :-(

If I published them with the copyright sign on them, does that stop people from downloading them?

Mark

Nick Bullock, who was editor of MV Magazine, has very kindly given us permission to reproduce his photographs of the three Constructors in the yard at Soest in Holland as mentioned by N.O.S. in post 299.

 

These pictures appeared in issue no.26, May/June 2000 of MV Magazine which also had a picture of two "Bedford cab" Constructor ballast tractors on it's front cover as shown below.

 

The first page of Nick's article.

The RAF Constructor. The body had been removed but was lying nearby.

The following 'photos are of the two FV12102 Constructor semi-trailer tractors that were keeping the RAF type company.

got that one, I sent in some photos of mv's in service, a C9B with my uncle doing his nat service, and some shots of a former workmate with a ferret, never got them back, wrote to the publishers etc, no joy

Mark

Thank you CW, :tup::

 

One of my restorations, whilst working for the Queen , about 13 years ago. The guys are looking after it well.

 

Richard
