Default Anybody passing through the Gosford area on the way down?

I need to have something picked up from Tumbi Umbi if someone is passing through on their way to Corowa please - there's a DVD bribe in it for you!

Just send me a PM please.
Keith

We will be fortunate enought to Have Mark Fletcher otherwise known as Fletch from the Channel 44 program 'Classic Restos' with us for a couple of days. He will arrive on Wednesday and be with us through to Friday morning. If you think you have an interesting restoration story get in touch with me and I will organise for Fletch to interview you.

Default Corowa Update

A number of military vehicles have arrived in Corowa over the weekend. Ian Evans from Cooma arrived in town yesterday after a 6 hour journey (see the attached photos).
The weather is in the low to mid 30s with very little chance of rain.

Default That picture deserves a prize

Hi Jan

That is a prize winning picture, deserves to be published in all the Military Magazines as something for all collectors to aspire too. If you don't mind I'd like to use you pictures in our local clubs Newsletter for April issue.

Do you happen to know the overall height was?

I've already share your pictures with one of our local collectors who regularly hauls his APCs to shows he is green with envy.

He has the military flat bed for his tractor but the last time he used it he was hauling the two APCs and an M151 out to a show in the mid west and got pulled over into a weight station and was over weight by the weight of M151. Fine unload the M151 back to the scales, no too much weight on the rear axles, fine move one of the APCs forward still not right move the other one forward. Of course each time they had rechain everything. Last trip to the scale everything OK and it starts to rain no top on the M151, so the driver gets all of the rain gear on and they are off to drive 600 more miles home. That's why he replace the military trailer with the nice shinny aluminum one in the picture.

Cheers Phil

Default Loading gun tractor

This was the scene in Eltham this afternoon as Euan loaded the No9 CGT and Wiles Jr cooker. He has already unloaded and is now on his way back to collect 25 pdrs and limbers.
