TailspinTom Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Greetings! I was wondering if anyone could supply details as to where this photo came from and if there is more to it? It is wonderfully crisp in comparison to other photos I have seen. It seems to be a segment of a high resolution image. Thanks! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Have a look on this string: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?15697 I expect Tim will be along later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailspinTom Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks, Runflat. If War Truck doesn't respond to this thread I'll send him a PM. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi Tom Yes it is a part of a cracking image of an RFC Crossley that i found in Canada. It featured in my article on RFC Crossleys in a recent Military Machines International. The same article will be appearing in the Crossley Register quite soon as well (with my rather daft mistake). Alan, did you put Crossley on to the article as they contacted me a couple of weeks ago? Tom were you interested in the Crossley or the lamp? All the best Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Tim, no I've not spoken to the Crossley Register - you'll have to tell me what the mistake was (unless you want to tell the whole world). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailspinTom Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi, Tim! Thanks for responding. I am primarily interested in the Crossley 20/25. It is difficult to find good high resolution period images. I am working on projects of both the Crossley 20/25 Staff Car and Tender and am constantly on the lookout for new material. Both Charawacky and John Walberton have been extremely helpful in the past with supplying me with many great images and pertinent information. When I saw your image I was intrigued by it. It is possibly one of the clearest I have seen to date. Do you know what issue of Military Machines International? I'll try to track it down as well. Cheers!

TailspinTom Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Tim: I found the Military Machines International website, but there is no list of back issues or issue content. :-( Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi Tom It was the January 2011 issue. Six pages in all with about 25 photos. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailspinTom Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks, Tim. It is not shown on their website yet, so I contacted the publisher. Is it possible to get a high resolution image of the complete photo sampled above? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
