Leyland Retriever?

Makes sense, Bonda is nearly twice the price of the grey/red.

I currently work for Kuhne & Nagel (or Kevin & Nigel as we call them) and as many of you will know they provided the logistics for looted items for the Nazis during the war. I can have a good look round our 985,000 square foot warehouse in MK next time I am there. https://dirkdeklein.net/2017/09/26/kuhne-nagel-moving-jewish-possessions-for-the-nazis/

No, 4x12v 110ah batteries wired in series/parallel would give 24v 220ah

Under C&U regs the DAF has a max of 32t and the King DB20 18t. However, the max GCW in the UK is restricted to 40t rather than 44t as neither vehicle has road friendly suspension, the DAF engine does not have the required emission spec and the trailer only has 2 axles. The twin tyre on drive axle requirement is met by the extra wide tyres on the DAF. The DAF is 14.038t unladen, the DB20 is 3.38t and a rack is up to 1.5t depending on type. So, DAF + rack + M3 is 14.04+1.5+12.9=28.5t give or take DB 20 + rack + M5 is 3.4+1.5+(9t??)=14t give or take as not sure on the M5. GCW is circa 42.5t so overweight. Special Types would not work as it is a divisable load.

Agreed, the attrition rate in bomber command was something like 44% and I still marvel at how Gibson clocked up 173 ops, Cheshire over 100 and Tait 103. A tour of duty was 30 ops and if you survived those you would not be expected to fly another tour but many did.

That's very impressive Ron, well done.

Some interesting reading about Ashley Range here: http://www.thenewforestguide.co.uk/history/new-forest-explosives/ashley-walk-bombing-range/ As you mentioned the Tirpitz you might be interested to know that my father in law led all three Bomber Command raids as CO of 617 squadron.

That's nice Ron, does it have the drive to the sidecar wheel?

Have you checked the kick down switch is not stuck on or out of adjustment?

You could try Stuart Bray Motorcycles: 01323 488148 they currently have a listing on Milweb.

That reminded me of the kinetic energy recovery system built into the 5th wheel.

Is that the one which used to live on the south coast, I remember supplying the owner with some gearbox parts about 20 years ago?

Out of interest Rob, is the tanker insulated return or conventional?

Well done, that sounds really good and the larger tyres look the part. FYI all four Martian variants had the same gearing of 14.9:1 in top compared with 6.795:1 for the diesel AEC Militant recovery.

Have you seen the photo on the 1978 LB run or were you the owner at the time? https://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p971350189/h507b4532#h507b4532

Did I spot Revolution wheels on the A35?

Not run for 10 years? More likely the jets in the carb are blocked with varnish from the degraded fuel.

^ Good find!

Looks similar to a Naiade class??

Thanks for posting those Andy, I was going to call in myself but got dragged into work. How are you getting on with Daisy, about time we had an update?

That's a rare beast, is that the one with the two rims bolted together and a large hole where the centre normally is?

Did you manage to identify the crankcase/cylinder stud threads?
