Here's a colour shot from the Imperial War Museum. It's not a very close up picture but I guess you can't have everything.

Default Needed a larf

Thanks Cliffy I needed a laugh.

Here's a serious question about blitz cabs in the desert....and the first picture is blown to the shitter.

If I'd been drinking anything at the time, I'd have done a Winnington-Ball and showered the keyboard.

"and here's the blitz that I restored with help from the information that I recieved from MLU"

"Crickey, Looks like it's hit a mine"

"Yes it took hours to get the authentic look just right"

LOL

Hi Pedr, Cliff that 15 cwt looks like its been whacked by a artillery shell which ever not much left worth rebuilding.

A couple of 13 cab CMPs in the desert, the first in convoy with a pair of Austins during the desert floods it always amazes me how the water lays out there one would think with the depth of the sand it would filter down fast. Question how deep is the sand in these regions
cheers
Les
