Molly on the hunt for the Hun :salute:

Where?
 

Stephen,

The last time I was at FIG there was 2 feet of snow on the ground and everybody was frozen by the end of the day.

The place you pictured looks like Florida or California - somewhere warm.

Any day with a Carrier drive is a good day!


Stewart

No snow this year about 50, A very nice day I put 20 miles on the carrier she worked Great no problems at all :D

GAP 2006
 

Steve , yes , it was an unusually warm January for a Bulge event at the GAP .

Hey , you fired off all your Boys AT rounds , didn't you ? You had a huge smile by end of the day !

Good Show Lad !!!

John, congrads on the truck, I talked to Len K and he told me you took it home :cheers: I am sure the Lads will love not having to walk into battle anymore :D I don't think I can get time off of work for Norwind I have to save my Vac. days so I have some for the Reading WWII weekend in June.

GAP 2006
 

Thanks , & I hear ya . I am in the same boat . Lose days and it is minus dollars , yes ?

If the lads think I am hauling them around , they better think twice .... and get ready to tie their ammo boots to a stick , waving them around , chasing me & hollaring , " Messiah , Messiah , Bless Us O Lord ... !" ( scene from 'Life of Brian' , from those crazy
Monty Python guys ... hahahahahaha .... )

:cheers: :salute: :drunk: CHIMO!

This Is Kim one of the ladies that sat in the carrier for the trip back to the Barricks after the battle. You didn't have to ask me twice to give her a lift :eek:

She's worth going to war for!!


:cheers: :salute: :drunk: CHIMO!

Sapper you don't know half the story LOL, been to the gap 6 times missed this years WARM event , but next year i'll be giving here a ride, If Big Steve dos'nt beat to her first LOL


BIG MIKE

DAMM :mad: These carriers are Small

You couldn't get me out of the driver's side without a shoe horn and a lotta Lube :D

Steve...is that a smile or a grimace? I guess the average size of a Homo Sapiens male has greatly increased in 60 years which is strange as our morphology had been stagnant for millenia! I imagine a seviceman's size strongly influenced his choice of careers. Ever tried to fit in a Ball Turret? Or even make the traverse from the Bombardier's position to the Pilot's seat in a B17? I once sat in the seat of an ex-R.A.A.F. Hawker Sea Fury and even though I'm only slightly above average size (6' 2" 235lbs.) I had to roll my shoulders forward to fit. Would have been darned uncomfortable to have to fly an entire mission that way!


:salute: CHIMO! :salute:

Is that the barrel of a Boys AT rifle protruding from Molly?





:cheers: CHIMO! :drunk:

Yes it is, We traded shots with the German 222 armored car,
and took out some german mg42 machinegun nests as well with it
:salute:

Here's a pic of the German 222 comming down the road :eek:

isent that the Plywood SS Vehicle Steve? By the why who owned that carrier of yours before you. It looks very familiar to the one I saw about 4 years ago at FIG. Cheers My BIG FREIND in the UC


BIG MIKE

Hey BIG STEVE is that one of John Bizzy's new Bren Barrel box on your carrier? or a NOS one.



BIGMIKE

German 222 was fiberglass , I know the one your talking about
9th SS has it.
The box is indeed John's repop.

The other carrier seen around here is Barry D's also with 56th recce now his is named "Vera Lynn" also a 1942 Mk1 :salute:

Here's a pic of Barry D's carrier at a past event
