Mark Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Militant Graham and friends were working during the show bringing back a tank (name escapes me) that had just been purchased from Rex Cadman, managed to get a couple of shots on my phone, really impressed with the power of these vehicles as at one time the milly pushing was up on its back wheels, very very impressive.

Big Al Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yes its was a good demo of what the militants can do, the tank was a cent and its now in the midlands. Well done to graham and his pals on moving it in the dark. Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markheliops Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Mark Whats the score with the Cent - Is is salvageable or is it destined for spares? Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 He is going to put a cummins 400 engine in and get it running matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markheliops Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well done that man. Look forward to seeing the Cent come back to life - hopefully for W+P 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Why put a Cummins in it when the meteor sounds so good?! It'll be nice to see it driving again though. It's been sitting around the Hop Farm since at least 2002. I know Rex has a Conqurer too... is that for sale? Now that would be a good project!

Poptopshed Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 As part of the cent moving crew, i doubt it will be ready for WP2008. :roll: The engine swap is on the cards as the current engine is probably beyond saving and Dave likes diesels. It was impressive to move such a big beast through the site, Dave brought the low loader but it rolled so easy we decided to carry on with the Militants as it was safer than winching it on with everyone watching and it was getting dark. You can just spot Grumpy in his Militant pushing, Simon Stolly in the Turret, Graham in his Militant pulling and i am stood on the back of Grahams militant. Also a big thank you goes to Graham who acted as runner in front clearing cars and people who thought it was a good idea to stand in front 90 plus tons of rolling road block! :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Here's a series of shots of the boys making their way past our camp with their 'medium recovery' job. We were very impressed to see Grumpy's Milly (rear one) with it's front wheels on opposite lock pushing the rear end of the Cent sideways to clear the vehicles parked on the corner!
