Lord Burley Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 This is like saying if you steal a car that's ok as long as nobody knows where it came from and nobody misses it.And your point is???????!.Did i at any point claim them to be my photos??!No i didnt!! If you had waited,then i would have given full credit.I am sure you have posted pics that didnt belong to you.Did anyone make an issue of it. I really cant see what you were trying to achieve,apart from let everyone know that they came from Bob Morrisons publication. Here fella.Have a medal..................You deserve it Jack. Sorry for the rant,and i will remove the offending pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I can't see why you are making such a big issue out of this. All I did was state which book they had been published in. I never made a comment about theft, copyright or anything else. I didn't contact anyone asking for them to be removed. You seem to have a bee in your bonnet for some reason and I seem to be the target of your aggression. From the way you have reacted it's as if I have spoilt the illusion that they were your photos!

Lord Burley Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Like i said.I wasnt claiming them to be my photos,and nor would i. As on other forums that i use and to the people that have taken pics of my cars at sporting events or other pics i have used,then i always give full credit to those that have taken them. B.t.w i dont want to spoil the illusion that when you are driving your CVRT down the road in your camo,that you are in the Army and not a civvie!.

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thank you gents. Back on topic please :iamsmiling: Well said Jack, i have refrained from comment about photo copywrite as i have a personel axe to grind over this subject and my views are biased. It is in fact a very complicated and interesting subject i dont know if we could discuss this elsewhere or if Jack is of the frame of mind to allow it. It does affect our hobby a great deal especially when it comes to Forums. There are of course free pics out there but i suspect one way or another we all have broken c/write.To be fair without pics most Forums are not worth a carrot. now if you wont to fight about this some more bugger off to the Scammell threads there a rough lot over there. Be Warned. This picture is c/write of my mate Benny,cheers mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 To head back on thread, here is a picture of part of my lineup.. Well I'm not parking next to you at a show, I won't be able to receive anything! Had you thought of trying to contact any servicemen that had served with them? They might be chuffed that these artefacts have been preserved & who knows what stories, info & photos might follow such a reunion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Anyone not seen this shot before? Looks a bit overdone as a restoration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84KB11 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi Clive, I do have contact with a few people who served in these vehicles. Have a great picture of the chap who served in 84KB11 sat in the back, can't post it though as he is still serving. Tried talking to some MOD/signals contacts, but most refused to admit these even existed, partly due to some of the kit still being in use.

Lord Burley Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Down in the country yesterday. Saw this.They are the marshalls vehicles from bisley.Which is where the pic is taken.I think they are some old RUC landrovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 They are the marshalls vehicles from bisley. Situation must be serious at Bisley, since I used to go there, don't recollect having to have bullet proof vehicles then Actually, a few odd things about the Rover, looks like a military type rear cross member, civvy type side and flasher lamps, rear mounted fuel tank, which would not indicate them to have been used by the army in NI. Clive will know for sure if RUC, I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) VPK, you can still some bits on it. RUC had about 100 in use in 1980s. Edited March 8, 2009 by fv1609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Garner Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 She may not be military but this has been my introduction to vintage vehicles. She's green, so we're not too far away! :-D I'm hoping when the time comes the Ferret will simply be passed down to me, so I won't be digging into my own pocket for an MV!!:yay: Best regards, Lewis.

Gareth Coe Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 This is a Commando/Verkennings Voertuig - which translates as Command / Recce Vehicle - of the Royal Dutch Army in the 1980s. This is what my Laro (Heidi) should look like. I'm still looking for the front brush guard, so if anyone out there can help drop me a line ;¬) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Landrover is of the Verkenning type. Dutch Land-Rover inventory totalled 2854 type 88 AD (Algemene dienst, General Service), 1543 type 109 AD, 524 type 109 GWT (Gewondentransport, Ambulance) en 250 type 109 Verkenning. The Land-Rover 109 - or "Laro" - Verkenning was officially (also) known as a Commando/verkenningsvoertuig 0,75 ton, 4x4, Land-Rover, it´s role was that of a Reconnaissance vehicle. It was not a command vehicle, the confusion is most likely due to the fact that the main activity of the Dutch Commandos (Korps Commandotroepen (KCT)) is reconnaissance. I saw you are looking for the front brushguard. This is known as "takkenvanger", literally translated as "branch catcher".

Gareth Coe Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I also have the technical handbook. It mentions another variant of the 109: Terreinmeetdienst Voertuig - Ground Survey? A soft-top with a full-length roof rack. do you know how these were used? Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By surveying activities this unit stipulates the exact zero point and direction of an artillery piece or battery. The unit carries advanced position-fixing and direction equipment.

HTH, Hanno Thanks - you're a mine of information I have been looking for photos of Dutch Laros on the net but they're hard to find. Heidi's restoration is making good progress - thanks in no small part to my friends Jim, Steven and Timo over there in the Netherlands. I'm always looking for Dutch stuff. If you come to Beltring this year we'll have a beer together :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
