Default Somewhere in time

Hello Pablo, I checked my passport and the date I was there was September 1988, the place Portsmouth England, it really was fantastic to see all of the armour and all in one place and up for grabs if you had the money, I was made very welcome whilst I was there, I did mention on the armour forum that whilst I was there one day two Russian tanks arrived so Tony closed the gates the tanks were unloaded and they were given a good workout around the yard,those were the days, I will post Pics of the Russian tanks arrival on the armour forum, they were uncut fully opperational every thing in working order staight from the docks, the crew helmits still hanging inside,
Thanks for your interest Regards Ron

Default numbers

Hello Barry,
I will have a good look at my original pics and see if we can see the numbers in the daylight I may be able to enlarge them, leave it with me and I will see what I can do,
Regards Ron

Hi Jan,
And thanks for your reply its good to hear from you, so glad that your Dad managed to rebuild his plane the Hurricane was and still is a beautiful aircraft, well done any chance of a couple of photos I am sure most of us would be pleased to see them, and at the end of the day it really is all about reliving our dreams, we never really do grow up,
Regards Ron
