All contributions would be mch appreciated, thanks!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Thanks for the Militant shots Richard - seeing them at the show brought back many happy memories - not least the one of the time I wandered off-road in a 6x4 tipper followed by a 6x6 GS, went over a rather large bump and looked back to see the GS sitting there rocking on it's chassis. the other driver had forgottten the tippers had a shorter wheelbase :evil: :evil: :evil:

She's making the most of things before that hub has to be stripped, grounding her for a few weeks!! :-)

The young lady in questions name is Becky, Becky's dad was there in a ' i dont know what it was, but it was kitted out nice inside vehicle', im sure PC (mr.Connor) should be able to assist in the vehicles identification! :oops:

[paul connor]

I think it was an Ambulance of some type, not very hot with that sort of thing.

 

But yes Becky seems to stand out, unlike me in the pic! as im kneeling and holding on! haha

[sirhc]

I am never visible in the arena photos because I am always hiding in the driving seat, maybe I should paint my helmet pink next year?!

[paul connor]

And give me a ride!

[sirhc]

And give me a ride!

 

 

If I can get the Spartan there again next year then no problemo! Still not got it back yet though, bit annoyed as it's been there 3 weeks now and I have no idea when it is coming back.

 

Chris

[ArtistsRifles]

From what I've heard from others Chris - you ain't the only one in this situation!!!!!!!!!

Be careful, leave it there much longer and the local travellers might have it in bits :-o

Mick,

Is that a canadian made sherman? the symbol on the front looks like a Montreal locamotive works stamp.

Spot on!!

That's exactly what the owner emailed me when I asked!!

The logo on the front is the General Steel G in a shield mark. This was the US company that supplied the castings. It can be found on various armoured vehicles, not just Shermans. You are right about it being a Canadian sherman though, it's a Grizzly I, built by Montreal Loco. Now masquerading as a sort of Firefly.

[FV601 (R.I.P.)]

Well take your pick

 

The last two years at Beltring has seen the Saladin in this pose

 

 

2005 it was stripped down on the Friday afternoon after springing a leak in a hydraulic pipe

 

2006 it was in that condition after the dual power control valve had failed at a show the week previous and the only time I had to carry out the repair was at Beltring. Unfortunately I was unable to get the part needed and I had to put it all back together and low loader it home.

 

However when the old girl is up and running she does a mean turn in the arena.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and yes I've hugged it, kicked it, swore at it, stroked it and its only bitten me back twice
