BSM Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Recently arrived from the printers is our next book offering namely, "British & Dominion Formation & Unit Vehicle Signage, 1914 - 1918" which we believe would be a value add to the research libraries of those into this period of MT and of course those in the modelling fraternity. Please check out the attached flyer and PM me if you have any pertinent questions. Cheers... Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Well done BSM. This should have been done years ago ! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSM Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks David. My thoughts as well however it was not until my lengthy association with Michael Young and later meeting with my co author who spent many years on staff at the IWM that a combined result became possible. An interesting treasure hunt that answered many questions and created a few new ones. In fact Mike Young had agreed to join us just before his most unfortunate and untimely demise. Anyway it is now out there and without sounding judgemental, it should take some of the guesswork out of the decision by some to mark up a period vehicle. Cheers...

11th Armoured Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi Rod, possibly of interest to others as well, so I'll ask here rather than via PM - where would one obtain a copy of the book? Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSM Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 No problems Kevin. If in Australia from me and if in the UK or Europe from Mike in the UK. The book was printed here and then numbers sent to Mike for distribution. As noted it is a limited print and is selling down here at AUD43 plus post or courier. Do not prefer to have any private/transaction details on a public forum therefore the request for a PM in the first instance to progress the deal. Trust that answers your question. Cheers....

lynx42 Rick Cove Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I received my signed copy last week and I am very impressed with the amount of research that must have gone into it. I am still to work out the correct markings for a vehicle from the company my Grandfather served with from 1916 to 1919. The 3rd Division Supply Column Motor Transport.

george Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) I started a similar project a couple of years ago. I had permission from the RASC museum to publish their collection of the original coloured drawings that the IWM has. 78 pages, not all complete. It was a difficult task trying to tie down the SBAC markings with specific units, some useful information was gained from Michael Young's book, but it contained just a few of those from the collection. I have two questions however, I never did find out what an "Arabian Chortal" is, as mentioned in his book. Can you give me details of the UK contact so I can purchase a copy.

BSM Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Tim thanks for your interest and from the other 2 posts you should now have what you need however gents I would politely add the advice that there does exist certain bits of program whose task is to trawl web sites looking for active email addresses therefore it is wise to at least obscure one that belongs to a third party if not in the public domain!

Timbo3945 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hi Rod, Yes thanks, I have just emailed Mike, so hope to have a copy in my hands at some stage soon. Should help with the restoration of my Pierce Arrow, although it will be a long time before I'm at the signage stage! Many thanks to George and Tomo too.

BSM Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Cheers George....could happen to the best of us. Yes Tim I believe that the Centenary years or recognition of same have been quite a boost to the Military MT Heritage/restoration aspect. Over this way a couple of solid tyred projects have been offered to a museum down South and there are the remains of a couple of Leylands up North looking for a home, all of which coming to my attention in the last few weeks. Trust all goes well for your Pierce Arrow project. Cheers..... Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
