Chappers Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm visiting the Tank museum with a few friend on Wednesday 12th September, I've got the go ahead from the curator to crawl all over the Morris LRC with my tape ,camera and micrometer. I need to get as much info as possible to help start our Morris project off. Anywhere else to visit whilst were in the Neighborhood ??May have a few hours to spare so going to make a day of it. regards Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I would go tank spotting up on the ranges if they were being used. There are a couple of good viewpoints to watch. Im sure the "locals" could point you in the right direction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Try the signals museum in blandford, won't take too long but worth a visit if you've not been before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick W Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think its the armoured recce vehicle, at a guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi chaps,I believe the Morris MKII is as mentioned not on display it's being restored and they will be working on it on the Wednesday I'm visiting hence a midweek trip.I've spoken to David Willy the Curator and he said it's best if I speak with the restoration team whilst I'm there and maybe get a hands on feel for this nice little recce vehicle. I've finally got the Morris recovered and it needs a lot of work to the body,but nothing me and the guy's around me can't handle. Will be posting a blog of the restoration soon. Here's it is when we finally got it towed home: http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/2408/p1010007ul2.jpg[/img] Brian chief mechanic surveying the project with one of my lads http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/9853/p1010001xn5.jpg[/img] regards to all Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
