Richard Farrant Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Plenty more to come.I bet this job would now been done in booths,wearing noddy suits and respiratory gear. We had convoys of vehicles coming through the workshops for painting at that time. The worst was a load of coaches that arrived from Germany, to be painted and with red crosses, for a Gurkha Transport unit. Masking all the windows, before they went to the sprayshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first priority was painting the vehicles, when they left the sprayshop, they went to Inspections, who would then find repairs needing doing. I remember changing an engine in a 1 tonne ambulance (never know as 101 in army) and the paint was still sticky! May have mentioned this before, but late one afternoon someone posed a problem, the Intelligence had Ser.3 LWB Rovers with normal canvas tilt, and they brought in some new full length Brownchurch roofracks. Fit them was the instruction, but no holes in the canopy, we came up with some supports that fitted over the body sides but allowed canopy to stay in position. They were ready to go next morning....the ship was waiting. All sorts of strange things were done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Burley Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yep, we have a way to go yet before you've posted all the pics from Land Rovers in the Gulf by Bob Morrison!

Mark - I am uneasy with posting of what I am sure has copywrite issues attached to it. You may want to drop Bob an email and ask him for his permission as he is in fact a member of HMVF. Many thanks for your understanding. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Burley Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was going to give him full credits at the end.If it is going to cause copy right issues,then i am more than willing to stop posting.They are from a number of issues of LRO and other publications dating back to 1985.If you can forward me his user name.Then i will fire him off a e-mail asking for permission.

sean101ryan Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Here's Bob's home page with email address. bob@landroverpix.com AFAIK he is sensitive about copyright. He posted elswhere he would like to re-publish some of his books but no-one will pay him enough! I have all of them myself already. Edited February 11, 2009 by Marmite!!

Lord Burley Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Oh well.It wont be worth contacting him if he is touchy over copy right issues. I have already had quite a few e-mails from forum members stating that no one would have been any the wiser about the pics posted,until some bright spark decided to pop their head above the parapit, and tell all to gain a few browny points. My only intention was to post some pics of military Landrovers from publications that have been in the public domain,and that i have collected over the years,and not just from LandRovers in the Gulf.. At no point was i going to claim them as my pics.And at the end of the pics,i was going to give full credit to those concerned. I would just like to state that this rant is in no know way directed at Jack or the other forum mods. This thread has now become I shall now retire to the drawing room,where one shall sample the tipple of the commoners alcoholic fusion of Jack Daniels and Coca Cola!.

Mark - with respect, not really the sort of comment/statement that is in harmony with the forum and not something I would expect from an established member. If you could remove the images until Bob has got back to you then it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
