Any cranes?

I have two, one on an Albion chassis and one on an AEC chassis, but maybe a Thornycroft?

How about a naafi wagon?

Fire truck, ambulance? Running out of ideas.
Show a picture of all you have so far, if that's possible Dave.

Hi Chris, I have sent you 3 small videos.
Here are some photos of the same.
If anyone wants to see the videos than e mail me.

This might sound strange,
But did the RAF keep the grass mown?
What about some grass cutting paraphernalia??
just done mine, no roundels though....
Cheers,

As far as I can make out, the grass was cut and rolled, particularly on grass airfields.
This was often done by contractors but sometimes the RAF had their own machinery.

I hope your lawn mower is a nice RAF blue though.
Have a look on page 23 of this theme.

Thanks Zak,
Missed that picture somehow.
Will you be replicating one?

Anybody know how to do "Speechless" on here?

[zak]

Well, some vehicles from the film perhaps?
Here is the MG under construction, driven by Christopher Plummer who was married to Bill's favourite actress in the film.
I have used a "Haddockism" and used Maskol to hold the wheels on temporarily while I try to fit the mudguards.
