Hi All

Just to let you know that the Hop Farm or Beltring home of the War and Peace Show has been sold to new owners, this will/maybe affect the show for future years.

The board at IMPS will hopefully be in discussion with the owners as we are very much still associated with the show, I will keep you all posted as and when news is available.

Ah - but can a Zil do the Stalwarts swimming trick???

Most stalwarts can't do the swimming trick

Hi all I think I have found the answer to this question please follow this link and read the bottom of the paqge:

http://web2.airmail.net/napoleon/artillery_tactics.htm

the bit about the 10 Grand Batteries I think that explains it.

1-0 to the Zil's I think :lol:

I would imagine they are classed as "batteries" as they are laid out in rows as per the batteries in a radio or wireless :shock:

Welcome to HMVF Jim, I shall be talking to you in the future as I am restoring an M38A1 jeep, I look forward to it.

:lol:

Nice set of photos, did you have a drive if so what was she like :?:

Ah thats as maybe, but Zil's are not as common :roll:

Also signed, good call

What are the condition of the stuff he sells, some of it looks a bit iffy :?

If you need a military vehicle to play with, then have a butcher's at this website in Germany thay have just about everything you could want.

Might be worth a trip with cash

OK Update on MV Ban in France;

According to one of our board members of IMPS, he went to France and met with the top frenchman in the MV over there and came back with I quote "If you go over there with a club or a special do like Tanks in Mons or Bethune, then you will be issued with a special permit allowing you to take your MV, if you go on your own, then you will lose it" unquote :cry:

So as it stands, make sure that any trips are properly organised through a club and get the correct permit or lose a lot of money.

I hope this is clearer for now, if I get anymore info I will pass it on

I have read all through the site and can see no catch, but they are not very forthcoming about who they are dealing with, but saying that it is a good idea and it could save a fair bit if it comes off. Is anyone going to join :?:

I may be stupid but, does it not stem from the early days when horses were used to pull machinery etc. and all the automotive industry done was use the phrase to describe the power output of a mechanical device :shock:

Sounds good Jack as long as you do not spell it with a double T, but there again :roll:

Welcome aboard DOC be good to have some insight of what is happening across the pond

I reckon its for bridging equipment :idea:

Ok

These are part of the 35th Division in France after Normandy about July time, if that helps anyone, and this comes from a book titled Operation Cobrs 1944.

OK All

For all you clever people out there in big American vehicles (I only have a small one :oops: , have you ever seen a right hand drive dodge, if you have not then look at the picture below.

I do believe that the steering wheel is on our side and it is an American driving it during Operation Cobra, this is part of the first motorized column over the River Vire in France.

THOUGHTS?

Welcome Cara

This means we will have to share Berni's biscuits, she won't like that but good to have you on board give a different perspective on things.

Hello MM

Dust the numbers and letters on, but do not leave the stencils on to long before the paint has dried, otherwise it pulls the edges off the numbers etc.
