airportable Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi Steve, welcome to the forum. Got the 118sig blog saved as fav. to keep up with what your all up to. Promted me to perhaps start my own. My self and mates display our 109FFR and my Airportable FFR (Mark joins us at some events, and we join Mark). Set up 2off 9x9's as sig.posts, new this year so building display up. Just aquired a sig. gen. to get the gear powered up. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
118thsignalsregiment Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I'm glad you liked the website I enjoy it as its nice to look back on what we've achieved and good to share photos with others. If you do start one yourself I would be interested in having a look so be sure to send me the link. What shows have you attended this year? Im always keen to speak with other Landrover owners and enjoy 80s set ups. A generator is a good Idea Terry in our Regiment has one and we use it to set up a flood light over our display at night and really helps. I think once you have a couple of Landys and 9X9s your half way there!

airportable Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi Steve. Events this year! Started sort of Easter and not had a weekend off since (excepting work). Can follow the more interesting ones via. my fotopic site and forum. Last event RAF Shawbury, ended up giving talks to cadets!! on Clansman. My Landi fitted out, 353/352/321 just a DMU to get. My mates 109 being fitted for rebroadcast, we now want the correct teleprinters to demo kit when power sorted safe. Genny is 24v,12v and 240v. I also have started to attend events with forces80, I'm very interested in the correct kit for c1980's. Will try to keep in touch. Andy.

118thsignalsregiment Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Excellent photos! You have some great gear we have gone for 1985 so our Kit is going to be all 85 pattern. I think Forces 80 are fantastic they have potential of huge displays. Im hoping our Regiment will grow with time. Its still early stages for us but were pleased with the way its heading. It was our first War and Peace this year still recovering from such an amazing week. We will be back next year will try and meet up so we can compare notes!
