Rex Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi Jack. Most of the named I use for my dukws are very short and start with S or F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hope thats not short as in 4 letters Said before - I always wanted a DUKW - but they're out of my price range now so have resorted to plan B - the Stalwart. Was after on so badly I even tried to get the one that was advertised on MilWeb a few months ago that was up for auction in Australia. had a couple of friends from the old days who now live down there check her out and get shipping details as well as sanction from DVAL and the Revenue people. Alas another Oz collector pushed the price beyond mine :cry: Ah well - maybe Stalwarts and I are fated - daughter has already named whatever one we get - she's picked Maude. after "Mouldy Maude" a caricature of my old Regt's cap badge in the 1930's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berni Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 oh dear you guys, you made me laugh :lol: going on the theory that many vehicles were named after memories of back home / family I thought i would name the Jimmy after my dear Husband Russ. The name that seems to stick is 'WINDY'. cheers berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armydriver Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Very interesting thread . My truck is named Betty Boop and I even have nose art of Betty Boop painted on the passanger side panel. My truck was an Army Air Force used truck so nose art seemed appropiate. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I had a WC 52 which for a short while I called "section 8". I got called up for the Army in 1989 and effectively was there for some 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 weeks. When I told that most people asked if I got Section 8 so I thought it was apropriate...

Degsy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I think you are getting a bit confused Jack,Wot no...... was Chad not Kilroy and the drawing that accompanied the words was two hands gripping the top of a wall with the top of a head ,two eyes and a nose peering over the top of the wall. Kilroy was 'ere was a different character. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
