Re: found churchills and m10 bulldog
hi fella's
thanks for the advise dave ,i might take a drive down there,sounds interesting,i remember going to anzio camp in leek when i was an army cadet in 84'but can't recall seeing any armour but that was a long time ago and i wasn't as keen on armour as i am now.
by the way dave are we gonna keep the chieftain at your house or mine,i know i said ww2 or nothing but there's no harm in being flexible.
all the best

Re: found churchills and m10 bulldog
not sure about anzio i was booting about there twenty years ago but when i saw the hulks i had to have a mooch , its right opposite a famous climbing rock face .the area is not large has a few farmhouses and a grenade range right off the main road i will consult the maps again and google earth just thought it would be worth a trip other than otterburn .

hi dave
i know it's a long shot but do you know where the wrecks were in relation to each other ie. in an east-west line together,totally seperate,near the range road that kind of thing it's just that if i go and down and find one, it could lead to the others although i will speak to the range wardens first.
i like the idea of a holiday to the i of w museum trouble is i don't know how i should tell the other half,maybe something like:- let's go on holiday, you play with the kids and i'll play with the tanks.you never know she might go for it.
cheers eddy

hi fella's
some of you might have guessed that i'm a little impatient and while it's more honourable to recover and restore a range wreck i didn't want to wait any longer for a bit of ww2 armour so i cheated and bought one, a rather nice mk1 universal carrier for restoration,it's still in the states so i've no pics but i'lll start a restoration thread when it arrives.
all the best
