The engine on the trailer at Chino ’09 sounded pretty damn loud 🙂

Just thinking about Wellington285’s comment about slowly deteriorating bombs and I am wondering about if this is relevant to the case of the munitions ship Richard Montgomery which is sunk in the mud near Sheerness? It still has a very large cargo of aerial bombs on board. I guess they don’t have fuzes fitted but could old age eventually detonate the explosive?

It’s pretty much a case of *when* not *if* that lot goes bang…

On my “must have when I win the lottery” list 🙂

Great news

Can anyone suggest a collective noun for Proctors?

An arseful?

& given the angle of the sun, the shadow is probably from the aircraft the bloke was sitting in with the camera…

It’s one of the little-spoken of facts that at around this time the British military began to be wary of the French, and war with France seemed most likely to be the next major european conflict.

There’s still time 😉

There will always be someone, in any war, who thinks contrary to others; I worked with a man, 10 years my senior, who continually said that we’d have been better off, if the Germans had won.

Well, all other issues aside, at least we wouldn’t have to deal with the bloody French 😉

I understand it has a Ford 3000cc V-6…out of a period Grenada, I suspect. To see one I recommend Peter Nelson’s great Cars of the Stars Museum in Keswick. Peter’s a great guy…and he has a great Bond collection as well.

I doubt it was from a Granada, I saw in ’70 or earlier, same year the movie came out. (Just checked online, so ’68 or early ’69) ..when did the UK get Granadas?
