Spotted on Holbrook to Culcairn road ........... actually I was driving it and stopped for a brief rest on way to the Corowa Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering...... a Perentie FFR How much does it cost to get the Perenti FFR from the UK to Australia and back again? I'd love to attend Corowa in my Lwt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say from experience that you would be looking at around £2k each way including dockyard handling charges using container shipping. Not cheap.

I'd love to attend Corowa in my Lwt As Iain says, this is a Perentie that belongs to friends in Australia. Shipping a vehicle into Australia is fraught with problems, not just cleanliness but all items of asbestos have to be removed and certified otherwise you are in for big problems and costs.

Smithy Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 What looked like a German WW2 lorry being transported up the M40 last Sunday morning. Looked to be authentic but was wondering if may have been made up for a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankNutUK Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Being towed - looks like an ex-British Army 2 Ton office trailer converted as living accommodation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 At the Weald of Kent Steam Rally this weekend, a varied show of not just traction engines, but cars, tractors, commercial vehicles and an ever increasing selection of Military stuff too. These 2 in particular caught my attention, The show is held on private ground at Woodchurch, Kent. Geezer that owns it collects vintage planes and uses this Bedford as their refueller. Cat D7 and Onions 8 cu yard scraper, was one of the show entrants. Cat isn't ex Military, just painted green, but the onions certainly was, there is various markings all over it. I trained on these during my apprenticeship at AAC Chepstow 1976. Nice to see it being used, bought back lots of memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-boy Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Thanks for posting Rob. I’ve never been and am currently out of the country, so missed this year’s, but I will look out for the show next year, as it seems to be well worth the effort. Steve.

LarryH57 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Last night, 21.30hrs a nice looking sand coloured Land Rover Lwt heading anti-clockwise on M25 near Juncion 25. It appeared to have some kind of fold up storage shelf over the rear wheels a bit like those on 'Para Recce Lwts' Edited August 5, 2019 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
