oily Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Sabre Sales in Southsea, -Castle Street if I remember, very knowledgable, excellent value:-D Renegades in Calmore, near Totton, Southampton, Brooks Farm Ind Est, quite good I believe, not sure on opening hours. Frontline in Southampton, again excellent value ,speak to 'Jock':-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woa2 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I remember Lawrence Corner in London when I worked in London many years ago. Anyone know what happened to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Burley Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The best surplus shops i ever knew were Anscombe,s in London Road Elephant and Castle. Also they had a shop in Merton. But the cream had to be Quartermasters at the Angel. That place was a goldmine. I loved going there.Both now long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzaw Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Yep Laurence Corner up behind Euston and the Angel, I was a friend of the Late Mike Ross and remember his brother Badger with his tank at Thruxton (was it a Grant or a Lee, or lt Stuart? can't remember now- wonder what happened to it) - too many years now but in the 70s these were the places to go and buy virtually anything military. I used to go from Glasgow on train to visit these places and get bits n bobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Corner.......a name from the past, they had allsorts of wartime British kit, bought quite a bit from them, but many years ago now. Mike's tank was a Stuart M5A1, it is still around the show scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go from Glasgow on train to visit these places and get bits n bobs. Badger is still alive & kicking! The stuart was a troop carrying variant. They made a dummy turret for it from sheet steel. I used to go to QM's quite a lot & knew most of the crew there. I picked up some amazing stuff over the years. It was amazing that they didnt know how rare some of the stuff they had was! :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
