  1. A shame that the museum wasn't interested. Some at the Defence Electronics History Society maybe interested. http://www.dehs.org.uk/
  2. Have you asked the RAF Radar Museum? https://www.radarmuseum.co.uk/
  3. Assuming that it is Ex MoD and that you live in the UK, have you tried:- A Freedom of Information request:- https://www.gov.uk/make-a-freedom-of-information-request The Defence Electronics History Society:- http://www.dehs.org.uk/
  4. Not even a tax disc? Have you tried the Austin Champ Owners Club? It maybe an old entry in their register:- http://www.austinchampownersclub.com/03 Register/registerhome.htm

  8. Probably not the complete list of events but there are plenty to choose from already. https://loveofthe40s.co.uk/dates-for-2020
  9. As you know the registration numbers were NYV252-336, you can check on the Gov site. It won't enable you to make a complete list of existing bikes because some of the numbers are now on other vehicles, and some are 'Vehicle details could not be found'. https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/?_ga=2.55134571.1947587275.1577367580-177725673.1577128332
  10. NYV317 was Lot 2525 on day 4 of the Ruddington Vehicle Sale 24th - 27th June 1969. Scanned auction catalogues included other 'NYV' bikes. NYV317 is in fv1609's post of July 29 2011 http://hmvf.co.uk/topic/18050-auxiliary-fire-service-matchless/
  11. From the description, this one probably hasn't been abused:- https://tanks-alot.co.uk/product/fv-armoured-personnel-carrier-am-gkn-sankey/
  12. Have you tried:- https://tanks-alot.co.uk/product-category/military-vehicles-for-sale/armoured-military-vehicles-for-sale/
  13. The Auxiliary Fire Service was reformed in 1948 alongside the Civil Defence Corps, and disbanded in 1968. Source:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_Fire_Service
  14. Was the wiring in the trunking, originally all individual wires or a pre-made loom? I, suppose if the wires are installed and connected one at a time, coloured wire isn't really necessary, but it does help with fault finding, especially if the wires aren't numbered. Coloured wire in a pre-fabricated loom was even used in August 1934, with the introduction of the Austin Seven `Ruby`. Your use of the minimum length of coloured wiring is a clever solution to the problem of authenticity v practicality.
  15. From one of the old posts. Gaskets to Go:- http://www.gasketstogo.com/
  16. If no luck with just page 31, the whole manual, and the parts list is available from:- http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/batteries-chargers.html Charging Set E.D. 300W 30V(BSA) User Handbook, Jan 1961 Charging Set E.D. 300W 30V Illustrated Spare Parts List for Charging Set, ED, 300W, 30v, WO13438, Oct 1961
  17. Are Land Rover deluxe seats the answer?
  18. Some insurance companies regard changing seats as a modification.
  19. Land Rover Ex Military Auxiliary Dash Plug Lucas Two Pin Cab185 82127 STC3334 Available on ebay
  20. Ian, it is a shame that the photo doesn't show the base of the filter. I can't enlarge the photo enough to be sure, but the filter might be side hinged. The difference maybe because the diagram (TB 4233) is for the 200 gallon lorry tanker. I assume that there is a Technical Bulletin for the 180 gallon bowser. I only found it today.
  21. Ian, have you seen this? https://www.google.com/amp/s/talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/2019/03/09/200-gallon-water-bowser-float-straps/amp/
