[motto (RIP)]

Looking good Andrew. You've done the hard yards and it's a downhill run to finish it off. Congratulations.

Thanks David
I hope you were not caught in the earthquake?

No Andrew, no problems with the seismic activity, we had passed through those areas a couple of days prior. To some extent I'm sorry we missed it. We should have been quite safe in the motor home, not much to fall on you and the suspension would smooth things out somewhat.
Heading north out of Wellington we were surprised to be in company with a WW1 Big Willy tank on an army transporter no doubt heading for the NZ Army museum. It looked in excellent condition and I was wondering if it was the replica from the film Warhorse?

No, that will be Spring Chicken (OLD THREAD), a stunning replica, that will probably be heading to the Wairarapa for the Feb Airshow. http://www.wings.org.nz/

Here are some more pics from the recent Armistice Day display of LRDG vehicles etc at Karapiro NZ. That's author Brendan O'Carroll leaning against "Te Aroha III" - he has taken a close interest in our project. Also shown is the "Breda truck" - one of the Chev 1533X2 trucks showing how the captured Italian Breda cannon were mounted on the back.

Your truck is looking better and better, Andrew!
Assume that there is now soon a complete LRDG Half-Patrol ready to go on a mission in NZ...

I have followed this thread from the start, all I can say is 1st CLASS, cheers Dennis

Thanks Kuno,
she is nearly finished now - just a few things left to do, like a proper wiring loom, external condenser, aero screens, tool-boxes etc and we will be working on these things in the weeks ahead.

Andrew
