Tony B Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Alas I managed to miss the forum folk there as well, but when I got out from behind the scenes I was rather busy eyeing up Dodge's . A person of tatse , at last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saracenstump Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Was up there wandering around in the HMVF shirt - didn't meet any other forum members though....... A great day out with some excellent vehicles there, large and small. I fell in love with the Matador although the desert Chevrolet came a close second. I scrounged a lift up with Stuart and the rest of the AMVG group as none of my vehicles is in a road going condition (well - the OT is but I've still got to overcome the DVLA hurdle). Good run up - VERY interesting run back as just past the M25/M11 interchange in the midst of road works the points on Stuarts Landie decided to give up the ghost!! Some nifty spanner work by Stuart got us going again - only to find Stans Landie wouldn't start. So Kevin in the SUMB towed Stan whilst we headed down to the A 406. Just about got there when Stuarts Landie gave up the ghost permanently. By then Stan had his Landie running again so the tow was cast off and he carried on home whilst the SUMB was hooked up to Stuarts and we were towed home. Will post some pic's once they are uploaded. good day even with the fun on the way home,even had fun in the duxford arena!!!!just got to wash the mud off the landy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 It's a Ford Model T Huck Starter, for starting early aircraft. Take a look here to see how it was used - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Nimrod was the naval version of the Fury. If thats an arrestor hook ahead of the tailwheel or skid then I think it's a Nimrod.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Nice to see a few friendly faces at the controls of the DX armour. Good bunch of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 They are a great bunch of folks to work with. I'm learning a lot from working with them, both engineering and history, which puts a lot into context. It's a great way to spend your Sunday (if anyone out there fancies volunteering?)
