Last weekend my brother picked this up from Bedford and it will be the next project that he and his son tackle .

 

So far internet research has turned up nothing other than one very small thumbnail photo of one of these units mounted in the back of a Bedford MW so any other information we can glean would be very much appreciated - workshop or operating manuals even more so !

Over the past couple of months, the WW2 LHA has been undergoing a much needed face lift.

 

As you may have noticed our logo has recently been refreshed and yesterday our new website went live. The site aims to showcase our association and features more information on the LHA, what we do, our history, the units within our ranks and of course plenty of pictures of us in action.

 

Please feel free to take a look at: www.ww2lha.co.uk

 

The LHA are also on the lookout for quality groups to join our association. If you see yourself and your unit standing alongside us at some of the most established and respected shows on the UK re-enactment circuit (as well as some promising newer events) then please drop us a line to find out more at:
