nice, havnt seen one in the flesh yet, but............a friend of mine(ex ROC) has said I can have his old uniforms, including a "Suit Protective"!!!!!!! Mark

Nice, I will have one of each!!!!!!! Any similar piccys of staff cars at all? Mark

nice, still reackon it would look good in Angolan markings tho!!! Mark

Morning folks, maybe a silly question, but what would make up a typical MT section on a RAF station in the 1950s? i.e. cars, vans trucks etc TTFN Mark PS, if anybody has got a ex RAF Staff car going cheap, might have to sell the 90 and thought of something dual purpose (car for shows and work!)

yep definatly!!!

Thanks Ray Mark

Do we know what the criteria will be regarding vehicles etc? Wil it be limited to WW11 or, as it should be if a MVT area is running it, open to all? Mark

here are a few piccys of mine, interesting that the 1952 and 1956 dated are different colours. As I cant get a 1980s "shirt itchy" to fit me would I be right in thinking that a replica from WPG (late WW11 type) be ok? Mark

thats a nice combo, what is the all up weight? (RB, trailer and Landy) Mark

cheers all, drinks on me!!!! Mark

very nice!!

mmmm, perentie 110 ex RAAF ADG please!!! what worries me tho, expolsives to be sold off? Mark

You know why Jack wasnt there dont you? He would have had to have dipped into his wallet and bought drinks........ Anyway, did you see these 2 characters? myself and Andy (Airportable). Speaking of people in uniform, spotted 1 East German, several WW11 (including a short German Officer,and 2 women in Black uniform,) Yanks (including Vietnam) and a few in DPM including 1 chap with RAF beret that looked like a soup plate, and had the ribbons untied and dangling down, was itching to "tear him off a strip"..Some nice Victorian reenactors too! Mark PS, sorry Andy, used your piccy!!

a few items........... and a couple I needed to!!!!!!!! RAF Bonedome 1945 dated RAF "Chip Bag" hat 44 pattern pistol belt 44 pattern pistol ammo pouch 37 pattern pistol holster (blancoed white) 37 pistol belt and 58 pattern holster (blancoed white) and finally Staffordshire Regt beret and chrome belt buckle

now would we oh great and fearless leader!!!

I know what you mean Tony, the usual question is "why are you not going onto my estate, I have got to get home!!!" or "why are you late?" never mind that they are standing at a stop with the traffic hardly moving in front of them. Best one I had was last year, heavy snowfall during day, got to travel private from one end of Stoke on Trent to the other to do a school run, (usually took me 15 mins with no traffic, took me nearly 1 hour) get to the school, Headmaster standing behind a huge pile of snow with a umbrella and his question was "why are you late?"!!!!!!!!! Mark

nice piccys

sounds like it!!!

started snowing in stoke again!!!

Nice looking landy Wolf

Been driving buses since 1986 (Waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to long!!!) Mark
