Nick Johns Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) [ATTACH=CONFIG]66199[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]66200[/ATTACH] I found this in a derelict bit of land in Pages Walk, South East London. It can be seen on Google. Any body know about it? The owner has or had various 101's and Stalwarts, he couldn't get planning permission on the land the tank stands so has left the T34 on it, its been there for some years now Edited August 13, 2012 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Saw this jeep with a chum on the A21 on Sunday evening - presumably on the way home from Headcorn. Hope it's someone on the forum. The snap isn't great. I didn't match the speed right out of the window of our Verso. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrook Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 So.......... Who has got a spare pintle hook lying around to finish the front off (and yes I know it is missing the sidelight lenses but with luck that will be sorted tomorrow)? Oh and the bivvy cover is on the way too (subcontracted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankysteve Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Wow, what a fantastic job you & your team have done on the old girl Paul. I bet it was a real `labour of love` making those wheel arches especially for an ex RCT vet. Thanks for taking the time to take photo`s & put on photobucket, a nice record. Hopefully it`s final resting place will be right by the camp entrance so everyone can see it & appreciate all the work that`s been put into it. It will certainly get tongues wagging & i`m just waiting for all the stories from the ex RCT lads to come out !! Are you going to put an RCT Sqn door sticker on the doors just to add the finishing touch ? Will continue to `spread the word about `Rusty Trucks` to those that ask. Best Luck for your future projects Steve H Antar 12 DM 85 heading east to its new home (see the Tales from a Big Shed thread...)

paulbrook Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ahem A bit of a confession....12 DM 85 is done as a fifth wheel, but when I finally got around to cleaning the crud off the chassis plate and looked closely (the night before the unveiling as it happens) I noticed that it was in fact a 3A.... Oops. As for the other one (now in the Big Shed waiting for me to catch my breath and make a start) I am not sure (but I will try and remember to look) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry275 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Standing in drive, i heard a loud engine- and withthat saw the Vulcan 50/100 yards up the road flying over neighbours house's leaving the Clacton area after flying at Clacton airshow.

Best Luck for your future projects Steve H I have the badges for the doors - just didnt get around to putting them on (mind you I still have the bivvy to fit too). That said I did it as a 3 Sqn truck, and in my day the Germany ones were not "badged up" - even the bridge plate would have been green and black (as would the Antar badge) presumably so the Russkies didnt know what it was. But it will be up to DST as to whether the RCT crests go on. I must remember to ask them........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
