Hippo on Ebay ! :-D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260352232096&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016

Have seen it in the flesh, photo posted earlier on in thread.

Last time I saw it it was a bit tatty round the edges but ran well

I seem to be having trouble uploading pictures from my hard drive to the forum.

It keeps coming up with an error message about an internal server error.

Anybody got any ideas???????????????

Try this website

Have used past parts before,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they are very good

It's a terrible photo, But here's another one from the series.

Have not seen that one!!!

There must be more!!!!

Found these in a second hand shop.

They must be part of a series, has anybody got any more?

The illustrations (by Denis Bishop) were also used in the book "Military Transport of World War 2" and other Blandford publications of the early 70's.

It would be nice if we could get the full set!!!

Where was that at, seem to recognise some of the vehicles in the background but cannot place the show ?

It was at Chipping Steam Rally in Lancashire. Taken at the 2008 show.

this may sound a bit pedantic, but you state RAF was post WW1? not so, RAF formed on April 1st 1918 from RFC and RNAS, a good 7 months before the end.

 

nice piccy though, a Sentinel Steam waggon cant think of the type though

 

Mark

According to my research it is a 6 ton Standard Waggon (note the Sentinel spelling of waggon) supplied to the War Department during WW1, there were over 200 supplied the Army had 100, the Admiralty 40 and the Air Ministry over 75.

Most of these were disposed of as surplus after the war, however some were retained by the Air Ministry and served well into the 1920's.

Just a picture of a nice preserved Chieftain!!!

Another preserved Hippo

Sorry about that....................will keep looking

One in civvies had just crept in!!

Yet another Hippo!!!

This time a later RAF variant 19H/1E Mk IV

For the benefit of Austin who hijacked the Bedford MW thread!!!

A picture of an Austin taken at a Woodvale rally, the only picture of an Austin I can find taken there

Will have a look as if it was green I probably photographed it!!!

There used to be a multi fuel variant attend regularly

Sorry if I have gone of thread!!!!

Just seen this 17pdr gun tractor on ebay

1943 Morris Commercial C8/P A/T 17pdr tractor

Item number: 130278705997

Hello hanno,

There's a picture of that one in the first post, i believe this one is a 1943.

 

Thanks brooky a couple of new ones, SFF is one i've heard about but that is the first picture i've got of it, looks quite a good one, i think pete gain owned this one not to long back. PFF is mick from leeds, i haven't seen that picture before, from his bonnet number its from the same batch as mine i really want the chassis number of it as i know he traced the history of it with the RLC.

The one with no number plate i haven't seen before either.

The jersey one, i've been in touch with the new owner glynn and got the chassis number of it 2000 after mine. I'm still trying to work out how many aeroscreen one were made.

SFF was photographed at Woodvale rally a few years ago and was owned by a guy from Stoke on Trent (i think) and from memory he aquired it from Bletchley park.

I will stand corrected on all that info, time plays funny tricks with my memory!!!

The unregistered on is owned by Ian Durrant and resides in Lincolnshire. If you do a search on "the gunner" I am sure you will find his website dealing with deacts etc.

That's the Budge Mk VII Crocodile now with Alan Cors in Virginia.

Shame it has gone abroad.

It had been superbly restored

You mean there is more than two of them?

Hippos, great trucks!!!!

A couple of pictures of preserved ones.

The first was mine and went to somwhere around Heathrow in early 90's, the transfer box had been turned round so it had 5 overdrive gears!!! Could never get into top gear as it was too high!!!
