Battle, east sussex Hight Street, Leading a parade of 'all things British',......(a local tourist attraction/shop, called Yesterdays World, had recently opened an extention, and wanted to hold an event showing elements from history,.................so I (and a couple of guys on foot,) represtented british wwii tommy, others as street urchins/children etc, edwardians, ..that kinda thing. :-)) Felt it was a bit OTT really, but they were happy, so, thats the main thing, I guess...........

LeeEnfield Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 The old girl is a real credit to you Andy . :tup: Cheers, Dave. Can't take all the credit, though,..............I got her in very good condition, certainly paint wise;..............my contributions have been the markings and 'micky mouse' cammo. her history,.....well certainly since de-mob, that I've been told about, is that she is one of two, used in the film Battle of britain. Mine was used minus canvas and painted A/force blue,(there are still traces of blue overspray, and one of the bonnet undersides is blue,) she was shown 'in camera', in the shot after the bombing of the air field, when Susan Hampshire was helped into the back of it. (I've no reason to doubt this, unless anyone knows different. :-)) Would be great to find her wartime history, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick W Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thats a nice truck, youve got a good one there. A film history too. The only history mine has was working on a farm orchard, post demob! At least the brake drums are easy to get off on these native vehicles! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
