antar Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Q67GDB is in the Duxford collection, chassis number 8132 from contract 7443. It used to be mine many years ago with a petrol engine in it, when the head gasket blew I decided to put a Meadows diesel in it, never got round to it, sold the whole lot to a friend of mine, he did the engine conversion ran it for a couple of years. He sold it to Bernie Jones who imediatly swapped it with Duxford for a Militant MK1 6X6 Gun Tractor. In april last year it was outside sheeted up near the play pen. John.

"Who immediately swapped it" .....not a very happy affair. This Militant Gun Tractor was subsequently cut in half and exported to Bongoland for timber extraction. The body ended up on the Militant Gun Tractor that Richard Grosvenor recently sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've guessed correctly. Ironically, Bernie's gun tractor, 37 BM 19, is still being described as a "surviver" on militantgraham's wondrous website. A more appropriate description might be "this very rare and extremely original AEC, well known on the rally circuit and thought to be safely in preservation was cut in half and exported to work in timber extraction". http://www.aecmilitant.co.uk/militant1/home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And quite a few other bits a I gave to Bernie while he was restoring this lorry. Was it just the rear bogie and may be the transfer box that ended up in Bongoland ? Do you still have the cab with the two oil filters mounted on the front ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gas axe man had been very busy before i saw what was left ,what normally happens is a complete militant is loaded up with the remains of several less fortunate examples i bought the front of the chassis complete with engine gearbox everything else went on the banana boat or to that great motorway in the sky!:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julezee001 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 TV not very good tonight, so I've been looking through the Explorer gallery for my latest Explorer. Very, very sad I know..... but I did notice that it is the chassis no. and army reg no. before Crocs. Does that make them brothers or sisters? 01 BD 97 7364, and 01 BD 98 7365. Off to get medication for my condition tomorrow. 10 litres of red oxide and 10 litres of deep bronze green!!!!!!!! Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
