Mrs Hardyferret Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Welcome :wave: to you young man - what a super job on the lightweight. If your son is at a loose end at any time he can always pop along to ours and give our new lightweight a coat of colour. Followed the link to you restoration - impressed. :bow: Have fun and hopefully meet up with you one day. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian001 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Thanks Mrs Hardyferret, it's been a long time since someone called me young man :-D you just made my day. As my LW is just about finished I'm looking for another project, I quite like the look of the K9s. Hopefully we'll meet up sometime during the show season, do you do the Buckfastleigh event?

ian001 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Mrs Hardyferret, was Mr Hardyferret selling militaria in front on the tent? if so, I bought the 344 set off of him, turned out to be a right bargain. Come on Jack, you'll enjoy the Buckfastleigh show, you know you want to :-D Okehampton camp is really good, you arrive on the friday afternoon, set up camp & spend the evening in the NAAFI, you can have your meals in the cookhouse with the regulars at a reduced rate or eat in the NAAFI, there is entertainment saturday night again in the NAAFI, there are displays of vehicles & militaria all over camp, private collections & military personel displays, a mock battle & a lot more, here's a group of us in september at Okehampton. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/9800/okegv5.jpg[/img] I'm the 4th one in from the left.
