Anyway….. is the cap fitted on Grahams tank of the correct type? If so, it is a standard cap of the day and I may have a spare.
Probably War Department as opposed to Air Ministry.
P8 was also used in British tanks up to about late 1943. They were binnacle mounted between the drivers legs.
It’s a variometer for a wireless set no 19. It is used to tune the aerial length electrically to suit the frequency in use. Vehicle and ground use, nothing to do with aircraft!
I reckon that’s a Kursaal Flyer. I understand that they’re rather rare nowadays but you saw them everywhere in the seventies. Chocs away!
Indeed! Last seen bikini shopping in Italy.
Thanks
The top one was manufactured in India (Dum Dum India, Z = Nitrocellulose powder)

I think that is actually Defense Industries in Canada.
I think it’s more luck than judgement!
Not your Sherman is it?
No, it’s the Copemans M4A2. It was my wedding anniversary on the saturday, I felt a weekend away with my tank was not a good idea! I did fly in on the sunday though, so not all bad……;)
Tankbarrell was responding to the sub-conversation about the WW2 incident.
Indeed, I could have made that clearer!
I hadn’t seen a modern image of a Sherman with a Bocage Buster ‘plough’ fitted before. I wonder is it original or a recreation?
Looks like a fun show.

It’s a recreation.
His range would be somewhat less with undercarriage down.
Was the P-47 flying today at about 12.45?

He needs ‘khaki green no3’ used pre and early war before changing to SCC no2, similar to dark earth. That changed to SCC no 15 olive drab in early 1944.
Try RR services in Kent or Jeeparts in Shropshire.
Humble pie anyone? 🙂
