Richard Farrant Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 here are some pictures of how it was in 1980 , and in 1983 in the garden . Hi Maurice, When did you bring the MW to the IMPS Tenterden rally, at the steam railway? I thought it must have been about 84 or 85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcspool Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Deelen Airbase Museum, The Netherlands: http://www.museumvlbdeelen.nl/en/de-exposities/dump-deelen recently acquired a MWC. Not sure if it's an original aero screen model, but surely rippo can tell us more based on this tiny photo ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcspool Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I've put my best glasses on, and i think Mr Hanno is trying to catch me out. This is the same truck you posted in 108, and yes i think it is an original aeroscreen MW.:-D What ho, had not made an effort to check if we had seen it before - but you're right, it's the MWC from Belgium (I did send you the pics and details, didn't I?) Right then, does anybody else know of any aero-screen MWs we have not seen on here before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hi everyone, As you can see she is back again in this treath.... This is the aeroscreen from post 1 with registration plates PSJ 718.. Did buy her from my mate in 2004 and as far as i know she is the only road registrated aeroscreen here in Holland correct me if i am wrong...:shocked: And as many of us i am always on the hunt for spare parts and S shaped tyres for her.....would love to collect one day an original rear body for her... the one on her is a copy.

fredm Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 have to say the bedford will always be my favourite ,I don`t have a preserved vehicle and sadly when I was a youngster working for my cousin in the 60s I cut up a lot of MWs and O types and sacrilege willys jeeps but they had no value in those far off days hindsight is a great thing, I grew up as a passenger in all types of bedfords with my father when I was young, my cousin had a lovely MW breakdown with 2 michelin men on the roof it really looked the part but alas when it was worn out (they had a hard life with my cousin) it was the old oxy acetylene torch for it. I wish my father was still around he would have loved this site he drove diamond T tank transporters throught out the war in nth africa and italy he had some great stories none of which were about the horrible stuff only funny stories he would love all the restored motors on here as well as I do all you fellas who take on these restorations I take my hat of to you, sorry to go on but I have had a few all the best fredm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Graves Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 hi all, a few photos i took last october of a lovely old mw bedford looking for a new home, apparently all up and running but in need of restoration, i believe it is an early type with the separate windscreens, it is in the yard of bob lammas at salfords on the a23 between coulsdon and crawley, bob is a good man and keen to see it sold for preservation, the asking price is £2500 , hope of some interest, tony g.

Louis Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Hi John, What about the windows i do have a donor cab for that. Its a dig up find from an aeroscreen near the airbase Volkel..who was operated bij the RAF for a wee while. So that problem wil be solved when i get the right mountings of that one to fit on mine MW. It has at this moment 3 right and 1 left mounting on it thats why the windows are on a wooden base at the momen. Can you tel me more about the chassis contract number that is shown on top of the dash? (what is your number on that). And what relation it has to the chassis number? And do you have a photo of your dash for us here? Cheers, Louis Edited February 17, 2013 by Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Maurice has the aircleaner , but am still looking for the mounting corner for on top of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi John, I see that we both have the same contract number. I was wondering wich chassis number would been in this lot and other lots too. On the spare cab i have (a dig up one) is a contract number that starts with a T and is an 8000 series. But my contact number is on top of my dash in a thin coper plate not like you have on your rear body. I think its the efforth wurth to contact the RLC museum who knows what they have in the archive for me...:cool2: Maurice we al wil keep an eye out for your corner pipe for the airfilter.

Louis Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi John, Here are photees of my cabs. The first one is my spare one where my correct window mountings will come of. The second one is on my aeroscreen dash. Cheers, Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
