Good for you Jim, I only wish I had the opportunity to get to see how its all going in King Street. Don`t know how you do it, but keep at it. Have you ever thought of a set of Retriever Lorries as made during the war, all the different types.
Ask about the FV1200 - see if there is any info about it. The last I remember of the two which were made is a photgraph being taken at Spurrier Works, with a Mighty Antar alongside being dwarfed by its size. A white elephant possibly, but I believe they went to Chobham, and may still be there. There was a 100 ton swan-necked trailer went with them, but where it is.......?
What about the HS1500 made at Spurrier Works? A drive unit which could be released by 32 bolts and sustituted to any of the alternative front units, never hear of these fighting vehicles now.
Just wondering about it. By the way Jim, I have a Scarborough warning on my file about a mole in The Snug, or some rodent or other, so I`m watching how things go.
Cheerio and back into the shadows. W.R.
