Ah! Hanno, forgive me I'm new at this! I just realized I only have to click on your link to Tony Smith's post. Doh!
Anyway the wheel shown is definitely not from a PU. I have four spare manky ones with WW2 tyres if anyone wants them. I was hoping to calculate how close the Auburn Morris is to mine? But sadly, not from that serial number, it's fictitious. Ron Last edited by Ron Pier; 20-07-09 at 13:36.

Hi Ron,
Glad to be of help. Yes, the other PU8/4 in the USA looks unloved. Does is still have the dirt on it from it´s last show in the UK before it was abducted to Belgium? Most vehicles at the Victory Museum were displayed in as-bought condition, except for the wrecks of the "rare" German vehicles. Those were cosmetically restored and put on display in a poorly lit environment. Probably so one would not notice the dash was nothing more than a blown-up photocopy from a picture out of a manual. . . Here´s hoping the PU8/4 in the USA will one day find a loving home like the one in the UK has! Cheers, Hanno

Attached are two pictures of the Morris, when still in Arlon.
Ron, I have to say your truck really looks the business! Excellent. By the way, does anyone know where the vehicles outside the Arlon museum went? I believe they had a Churchill, Sherman Firefly VC, carrier and M10 TD(?)......I know the C47 went to the Wings of Liberation museum in Best, the Netherlands....but at that time, the armour was gone already. Maybe not al vehicles in Arlon were as complete or genuine as they should be....in my opinion the collection was breathtaking and it's a pity it was sold and moved across the globe. Alex

if you didnt get to go to the back room then you dont know what they still have in boxes. only about 60% of the items are on display. they are working on it and it is getting better but they have some way to go till its back up to the museum in arlon.

Dave,
I went through the entire military vehicle museum (which is to your left as you go into the building) and went clear to the left end of it. There appeared to be an area about 50' deep for restoration projects, kinda small. I also went through the vehicle museum on the right side of the building, nothing really remarkable about it.. Regards, Jim
