In the second sequence of shots we can see our beautiful Staghound Armoured car. This was purchased in perfect order from the former Military Collection at Dizzy Lamb Park north of Perth. At the time it was in perfect running condition and missing only the No 19 Wireless set to make it 100% complete. - Even the cre members headsets are plugged in and dangling from their hooks ! Unfortunately when I began a major service on the Stag last year I discovered that the cooling system had corroded out in the ten years it had been standing in the museum - it's a big job and I admit to shelving it until further notice...
The 37mm barrels and mountings which are not shown are individual masterpieces of reverse engineering created by our museum curator Bill Hewitt. We are reproducing mountings, complete for M3 Stuart Tank and M3 General Grant tank. These mountings include the 37mm barrel, slide, recuperator, breech ring, breech guard, cradle, co-axial .30 Browing mounts etc and bolt straight in to the vehicles. Proceeds of the sale of these replica gun mounts help keep the museum going.
Lastly for now is my own 1963 Landrover Series 2A 109 four stretcher Ambulance. I had to do a lot of horse-trading to get hold of this vehicle as I always wanted one. It is is near perfect and complete condition having been untouched since it was disposed of. Complete in every way except the morphine and drip bottles it lives in the museum on display but comes out once a year for a veterans reunion. I also own privately the series 2A 88 soft top 2 stretcher version and a Landrover 101 Forward control heavy ambulance.
hope this is of some interest and thanks again Lynn
Cheers for now
