  1. English is one of the languages used in this form:- https://gileraclub.de/viewforum.php?f=3
  2. Cars built under contract for the Military in the early war years as follows: Austin 8hp, 10hp, Hillman 10hp, 14 hp Humber Super Snipe, Snipe mk2 saloon, Snipe Heavy Utility, Pullman Standard 10 hp Vauxhall 14 hp series J1, 25 hp series G In addition there may well have been some civilian impressed cars from various manufactures added to the mix there are 616 ''Cars Various impressed'' listed in the Chilwell lists with early army registrations and there could have been many more, Ford is not listed as a supplier of cars at this early stage of the war but that is not to say that some did not find their way to France. From part the discussion on "BEF Field Cars". https://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads/bef-field-cars.68835/
  3. Surely caterers are paying to be on site rather than being a cost to the event.
  4. Worth looking at? https://www.robush.com/metalastik-mounts/ http://www.partline.co.uk/automotive/product-filter.asp?PROD-GROUP=Mountings&COMPANY=Metalastik
  5. They do appear to be available in countries outside Europe. Have you contacted Goodyear?
  6. An article on gunnery training:- https://tailendcharlietedchurch.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/gunneryrailway.jpg Photo of RAF Hells Mouth Airfield Moving Target Range.
  7. It definitely has a value. If you don't receive any other answers, Bruce Bairnsfather should be able to help you:- https://www.facebook.com/share/4YiewukxSyzioRtD/
  8. Stationary in this photo:- A posed photograph, but interesting as it shows jacks being installed under the front bumper to stabilize the vehicle. Note the placard with the number “4” in front of the turret.
  9. Chevrolet G506E-5 Turret Training Training Truck More captioned photos:- https://inchhighguy.wordpress.com/2021/05/26/chevrolet-g506-e-5-turret-training-trucks/
  10. Have you asked here? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/fHhg9H6kzeiFoQDF/
  11. What did Land Girls at receive at the end of their service? Their last weeks’ pay A letter from the Queen thanking them for their efforts In some extreme circumstances, money from the Land Army Benevolent Fund Greatcoats – only if they were dyed blue Armbands And in return for the rest of their uniform – 20 clothing coupons https://www.womenslandarmy.co.uk/post-world-war-two/ Wrens being fitted with demob clothes at the end of World War Two 1945.

  12. An American ready made converter:- How It Works Takes power from the tail light circuit, wire #21, and converts it to 12 volts. That 12 volt power is fed into relays that are triggered by wires# 22-460 and 22-461, the left and right stop/turn circuits. The 12 volts from the power converter and relays are fed to a civilian trailer connector. The tractor versions have additional relays that provide separate turn and stop lighting circuits for semi trailers. https://www.xm381.com/Mil_to_Civi_Info.html Would it show indicator failure?
  13. LED 10v-30v bulbs can be used on both 12 volt and 24 volt lighting systems. https://bedazzledledlighting.co.uk/product-category/led-bulbs/ Not sure about the use of LED bulbs in trailers as they are technically a vehicle MOT failure.
  14. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) UK has reaffirmed its commitment to vehicle security, ensuring vehicles are protected and updated with the latest technology to prevent thefts. https://media.jaguarlandrover.com/news/2023/11/jlr-invests-vehicle-security-reduce-thefts
