DUNSFOLD Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Wally Great stuff there. The Lightweight spec looks interesting. I have the FVRDE spec but that looks earlier than the one I have. Would be happy to pay for a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi Wally, Having worked on the Fox throughout it's whole service life, I would be interest to read these reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Wally, I would obviously be very interested in any info on the Conqueror, particularly the ARV. The stowage sketch would be exceptionally useful. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 RICHARD most of the FOX TRIALS went in to storage in the first boxes the one shown is fifty s1x pages and one of the smaller reports. JOHN l know l have some documents on the CONQUEROR as to stowage diagrams to be honest there may be some in the last box which l have not opened have you come across the document the history and disposal of the CONQUEROR. l have been trying to pack the last of the items that where stored in the loft before the builders come this is something l had forgotten l knew l had the maintenance manual on the book shelf but not this was in the box up stairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I had one as well, bought it for £17 as I recall! Great bike. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
