  6. Not on an ambulance but some medical canvas covered wicker panniers:- https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/identifying-a-ww-ii-medical-box.256363/
  7. The Ford, was also sold in June last year for £9,900. I, wonder if the sellers don't like their Jeeps or are just hoping to make a quick profit.
  8. 1952 Ford Jeep M38 CDN. 1945 Willys Jeep fitted with Toyota engine. Not sure if this the same one that Brightwells sold last year for £7,500 but there can't be many 1945 Jeeps imported from the Philippines in February 2016 and whilst in the Philippines, a 2.2 Litre Toyota Engine was fitted. https://www.brightwells.com/classic-motoring/bicester-classic-vintage/bicester-classic-vintage-24th-october-2018/bicester-catalogue-24th-october/
  9. The £4,000 to £6,000 is only an estimate although there is a reserve on it.
  10. Michael Lycett's article confirms that the Norwegian army had ex-British Jeeps:- This jeep was handed/given over from British army to the Norwegian army part of BAOR, in 1947 when a part of the British Army was moved to another place. https://www.britishjeep.com/owner-stories.html
  11. Inert 2K12 Kub mobile surface-to-air missile (NATO designation SA-6). https://www.brightwells.com/classic-motoring/bicester-classic-vintage/bicester-classic-vintage-24th-october-2018/bicester-catalogue-24th-october/ Wednesday 24th October 2018 at Bicester Heritage.
  12. Well, possibly but after the amount of effort we put into making this one, I don't want to give up yet! I've just searched "Por 15 tank sealer removal" and found a number of old posts (even back to 2010) on various forums, that recommend using any number of liquids e.g. methyl ethyl ketone, aircraft paint stripper and even vinegar. This is an example of dedicated sealer remover:- https://www.caswelleurope.co.uk/fuel-tank-seal-remover-removes-failed-por15-and-kreem-tank-sealers/ I haven't tried removing sealer myself so I'm not recommending any product. It is possible, that the inside of your tank was too smooth for the sealer to bond to?
  13. This site will give you an approximation of your vehicle’s hood number:- http://www.classicmilitaryautomotive.com/hood-number-estimator/
  14. Are you trying to search The Canadian War Museum’s and Library and Archives Canada and/or other archives? Another site that looks interesting:- http://www.ww2incolor.com/
  15. If you search "Bofors 40mm AA manual" you will find a number of manuals that will hopefully be of use to you. Also, welcome to the forum.
  16. Ready to use ethanol free petrol is very very expensive:- Sunoco Optima 100 RON - Leaded ethanol-free petrol (25 litre) £ 97.95 (incl.

  17. Has anyone tried removing ethanol either small scale as in the video above or up scaling for MV use? On a trip to Bicester Heritage I found these:- Leaded or Unleaded ethanol-free petrol and Ethanil kit to remove ethanol from petrol:- https://www.classic-oils.net/Ethanol-Free-Fuel/
  18. Pins for the tent are metal. Figure 16, Page 20 shows the position of the pins:- https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/487619/response/1190071/attach/5/JSP361 Sup 3.pdf
  19. Post #50 has a colour chart from 1944 showing No 31 Light Battleship Grey next to No 32 Dark Battleship Grey so is No 31 now Light Grey BS381 631? https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234987340-how-green-was-my-interior-or-was-it-grey-plus-info-on-bs381/&page=2
  20. Could this be the grey? Colour Range: BS 381C Colour reference: BS381 626 Description: Camouflage grey Or the darker grey? Colour Range: BS 381C Colour reference: BS381 629 Description: Dark camouflage grey For both search "camouflage grey" here:- https://www.e-paint.co.uk/Lab_values.asp
  21. The whole thread is interesting. Photo of white water cans (page 3) Normandy July 44:- http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25034&page=2
  22. Steve, Have you thought of making a patch for the inside to match the outer one, then you can bolt the 'sandwich' together?
  23. squirrel_sport was looking for about 2 1/2 years before finding one so don't give up hope too soon.
