I presume we are talking about the little can that should live in this rack on my Tanker, if you do have a spare one Sean could you put my name on it, please. Many beer tokens would be available.

Yep think I have one of those cans

My first issue will be the February one - on sale Jan 19th.

 

Cheers, JC

JC all the best, looking forward to your first issue

There is a very clear a definate process to register a vehicle

If you don't follow the process it will be rejected end of

Speak to the MVT verification officer or drop me a pm, I was MVT verification officer for 4 yesrs

Loads of duff info and experts on here!!

Gauze water separation - I understand the theory is that all water has surface tension - hence you can see water 'balled' in the base of a container of fuel. Diesel contains wax and this gives a better (stronger) surface tension at the interface of the fluids. If the gauze is sufficiently fine then the surface tension can't burst and thus the gauze holds back the water like a dam, I suppose the lower the head of fuel against the gauze - the better it works.

Thats how I understood it worked

Not really new I think

I can remember Dad having a funnel like that back in the late 60's. Just had a very fine gauze in it

This one removed water. The gauze was so fine it would let fuel through but not water

For me, I have a bike with an old registration doc, and I'd like to recover the original registration number.

That's the V765 scheme. If you have the old log book it is a resonably easy process.

Google V765

Foam must have been an option, as that was the standard military fire engine, and you would definitely need foam for POL fires.

 

Chris.

The Green Goddess as at is nick named was never a military fire engine!

I have a 2.5 petrol Land Rover engine for sale. It is missing the head, starter, distributor etc but is complete with pistons crank etc etc

Never heard it running but was running before I bought it for the head

£50 collected from Preston

Thanks

Whereabouts in Norfolk?

I might know of a beavertail running empty back up north

Seen it in real life. A bit rough round the edges but a good start for someone

The original was available on video many moons ago

A bit harsh, Brooky. The contributions by regular stalwarts David, Les and Tim are up to par - and worth having the mag for those articles alone. No sign of the Nuffield jeep though...

True, however 24 pages of adverts out of about 80. Would have been nice to have a bit more about the half tracks in post war service and a bit more about the Wiesel

I would have thought it entirely possible that the RAF might have had some of these. Nowadays, the MoD use contractors for the maintenance of the estate who use their own equipment, but that wasn't always the case and there would have been quite a lot of stuff purchased by each of the three Services entirely for domestic use - for maintaining the grounds, sports pitches, gardens and so on. We have all seen pictures of Service road sweepers, dust carts and so on. And while I haven't seen pictures of these in service, I haven't seen pictures of Service lawn mowers either, but we still know they were bought and issued.

 

Whether a vehicle such as this was supplied in RAF blue is one thing, that a local maintenance man on an air station somewhere might have "freshened it up" at some stage in its service with a coat of RAF blue, entirely another. I'm firmly in the "never say never" camp on this and many other things. And if ever there was a Service with a requirement for shallow-burying cables on its estate, then that has to be the RAF, so a small mole drainer - yep, very plausible, I would say.

 

10 68[/QUOAFS and never saw war sevicevas canteens

 

Trouble is that very plausible becomes gospel and next thing we will see squadrons of RAF MG2 crawlers on the scene

It is so easy to distort history, take for example the couple of K2 "NAAFI" wagons on the scene. These were converted from ATVs post war for the AFS

If anybody has a photo of an MG2 in service then fine, if not then let's be careful about misrepresenting stuff

Mmmm its not improving is it

This month looks OK if you like Jeeps other than that very thin on content

Wasn't there a firm called Marltrax based in the UK?

http://www.marltrax.com/vehicle-parts/

The army did trial the Berliet TBU as a replacement for the Explorer in 1964-65

Two were acquired for trials and there was to be a collaborative agreement with Alvis regarding Berliet building the Stalwart and the British having the Berliet

The agreement came to nothing. I suspect the picture was taken in BAOR

Yep

morning , hope I can het some help on here as am hoping to get my gmc road registered in the UK to take to Bastogne in a months time, I have done the nova part and I have the dvla forms all ready to send off all im waiting for is the vehicle verification to be done, now I understand the MVT are voluntary and can take some time to do which is understandable I just wondered if there is anywhere else that can do it for me, im on the south coast near Portsmouth, sorry if this has been covered before I looked through previous threads and couldn't find much to help

 

thanks Chris

To be honest I think you are going to struggle to get it registered in a month even if the inspection was done today and the paperwork sent off today

The DVLA don't usually move that fast.

Try Big Tyres in Nottingham

Looking for a running Bedford 300 petrol engine with gearbox preferably but would consider just the engine

Please PM me

Doubtful there will be charges from a NOVA declaration

You do need to jump through that hoop though, if the vehicle has not been notified (within the specified time etc) then when you come to register it the DVLA will refuse because there has been no NOVA declaration

Pat Wares Data files books of the Ferret and the M201

In very good condition

Ferret £150 and M201 £100 inc p&p

There is a C reg Stalwart that can be seen from the M6 Northbound at a paintball site near Coventry

Always moving too quick to take piccies but it looks in good order
