Default Here is an original map case back door HUW...

I got this pic from the previous owner of the Alan Tooes HUW/Robert Coult. Robert was always very kind and generous with his time talking about his HUW. The last time I talked to him I got him on the phone at the Southhampton harbour on my way to Normandy a while back. I hear his health is not that great. Nice man. Rob

Default The line up in my shop...

I have to admit, not all running the way they should. Parade this Friday morning. Crikey, what a hobby! Cheers Rob

Default The big 17 is not ready to go...

we towed the Bofors instead. Tony drove the C-8 with a couple of local vets riding along, and I managed to slow ride the FAT and Bofors thru the parade route with no breakdowns. A fun time.

Default Flare gun and shells...

Picked this up last weekend from an old Canadian Navy man/Harvard pilot. Flare pistol with a wack of shells. Will give them a go when snow is on the ground, pretty dry around here with no snow cover. Still looking for the blackout door switch's in the back of the HUW, and 17 pounder stuff. Cheers for now ...Rob Fast
