Keith Brigstock Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi all My name is Keith Brigstock and my Wife is Tracey I feel a little bit of a fraud as I technically don’t own a military Vehicle in the true sense of the words. I am ex gunner of 20 years and my passion is for all things Artillery which tend to be towed. I have a firing 25pdr as part of the Garrison Living History group which has a complete troop of 4 guns. However my this is not all I have a half share in the only 1939 Mk 1 150cm Searchlight and generator set in the UK possibly the world working and this is Andys and my pride in joy as we reclaimed it from the scrap yard after seeing it on Scrap Heap Challenge and have spent 4 years working on it. Its full story can be seen on our web site http://www.thegarrison.org.uk. Lastly I must not for get the one thing I have that is powered and that my 1939 Austin 10 Cambridge, which is gloss black but is beautiful. I hope to meet lots of you in the coming year at different events thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 All those nice un-self powered pieces of military hardware and no Military Vehicle to tow them with of his own! , It can only be a matter of time until he either is consumed by the DARK SIDE or those that talk of the great PW side . There will come a time when the choice will be made!!!! Till then Welcome , and can you point that artillery piece away from my bedroom window , like a nice Lad.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
