Hi there, went to the tank museum last monday, I noticed that it says you cannot publish photos without permission, even on fotopic sites, anybody know the reason why? I have thought that if I put them on my fotopic site, and put copyright on them, that would be ok? Also had a ride in the tracked rapier supply vehicle that was giving rides in the demo arena, asked if I could ride in the cab, the driver said yes!!!! wow, took a video of it, 90secs of joy!!! All the best Mark

you have my sympathy, still suffer with an old wiplash injury caused when a ****** van driver rammed the back of my minibus when I was at a bus stop!!!!!!! this was 20 years ago, neck still aches in wet weather All the best Mark

cheers for that Mark

Hi all, if you downrate a mk/mj to 7.5 tonnes, what can you legally carry and or tow to stay within the law? Mark

Whacko!!!!!!!!!!!! :yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay: Mark

cracking vid!!!! I remember the ex Argi Huey, G-HUEY, what happened to it? Mark

just thought I would throw in my bit, while up my fathers today, thought I would rummage around his sheds, found a US 30 cal ammo tin, a 7.62 ammo tin and this WD stamped 1944 2gall petrol tin. Somewhere there is one marked M-O-S, will post pic when found Enjoy Mark

Ok, a question, has anybody got any photos of RAF Recce 109" L/R's? I have asked on MVWF and got a couple, my intention is when I get a 109", I want to restore it as a RAF Recce. (Everybody "does SAS etc!"):cool2: Mark :coffee:

as promised, I have uploaded the rest of my photos from Kemble, the last 3 were taken at Kidderminster called in on way home!!! anyway, enjoy it all Mark:) http://marksmiltaryvehicles.fotopic.net/

Hi all, uploaded part of my collection of photos to my fotopic site, http://marksmiltaryvehicles.fotopic.net/ enjoy, will hopefully post the remaining 90 odd later this week!!! All the best Mark

Morning all, just a quick question, were WC52/53 Dodges ever issued to British units during WW11? I know they were supplied to Russia. Simillary, apart from Dizzy T, Sherman etc, were any other US vehicles? (not canadian) I await the combined wisdom to dazzle with your knowledge!! :-D Mark :tup::

Went to the show today, my heart goes out to the organisers, apparently they had a bad night weather wise, so a few traders moved into the big marquee, only for the said marquee to blow down in the wind. Ambulances arrived, followed by 2 fire eingines and then 2 police cars, one thing I couldnt understand as to why people where photographing/videoing the collapsed tent?! Call me oldfashioned, but surely that shouldnt be done? I will photograph Police Cars, and Fire Engines, but draw the line at Ambulances when they are at a scene. Anyway, rant over, photos can be found on my site :- http://marksmiltaryvehicles.fotopic.net/ Enjoy Mark

was that GS67? saw a photo of it in LT red, very nice!!! My dads was GS36, now down south Mark

My dad had a 1953 London Transport Guy single deck bus, delivered to LT's country area. We used to have a Green Line Destination Blind in it, so at one show a Know it all type spoke, "you shouldnt have that destination showing, they never ran in Green Line service!!!" so apart from muttering to myself, I asked him to accompany me to the side of the bus and I showed him a London Bus Magazine dated 1968 showing my dads bus on GreenLine Service!!!!!! off walked the know it all muttering to himself!!!!!! Mark

thats true, mind you, according to Agent K, "Elvis didnt die, he just went home!!" :cool2: Mark

thats the one, mind you, the fact that they claim Elvis used it is a bit wrong, that coach was built in the 1970's!!!!! Mark

its apity that place had to shut down, didnt I read somewhere that a wealthy enthusiast had something to dowith buying some (all?) exhibits? I know some of the railway locos are on loan to a couple of preserved railways, but does anybody know what happened to the west german railway coach that used to be outside? My last visit was to a antique fair held there, was very upset at the state of the exhibits. Mark

remembered another one, when I had the ex USAF Police chevy, I used to cover up the front number plate with replica USAF plate with its original number on, many a time I have seen people say, "its not a real american car, its got a British number plate behind this one!!!" :argh: Mark

if memory serves, called signal office large, not many of them about, most signal and operation offices were smaller. Mark

looks like a priestman fom the 50's at a guess Mark PS I may be wrong!!!

will be visiting hopefully, girlfriend says it ok, she even got rid of her 10yr old son for the day so she can come with me!!!! Mark
