Alan Thanks Alan will have a look at that one. I don't have any issues at the moment but want to be ready if anything happens. It's just been to a couple of remembrance services this weekend and will now be laid up for the winter but would like to get to know the basics of the WC51 with regards to the servicing of it. Only had it 2 weeks and know nothing about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgewc51 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 This is a great site, I've a 1942 WC51 and am lucky enough to have the original manual for it but didn't want to get it covered in grease. I down loaded the manual from here and print the pages I need laminate them and use them, no damage to the original and I have a wipe clean copy to use and keep.

All the best Alan Sounds a good site. I notice that your in Hertfordshire, have you been to the 398th Bomb Group airfield at Nuthamstead? I am a member on their site on Facebook and am planning on going over there with my Dodge as it's badged up to the 398th BG 603sq. Are you anywhere near there?.

dodgewc51 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hi I have been once, did a guided walk a while ago. I live in Stevenage so only about an hour away in the truck , so could give it a run out over there. Is it for an event or just a run out ?

DFC1943Fl.Lt. Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 It would be just for a ride out. My late Mother in Law used to date a young airman who was stationed there during 1944 to 45. That's the reason the WC51 is badged up to the bomb group. There is a guy who I have been in contact with, from their site on Facebook who has helped in trying to find out who he was. He said he would like to meet up over there as he has a WW2 jeep which is dedicated to the BG and said he has found loads of 50cal. shells and stuff which he would share with me if I wanted any. I have only just got into WW2 vehicles as I have already got a military land rover 109 and a very early Mk1 Armoured Ferret Scout Car.
