1944 C-15A-Wire-5 Restoration

[Robert Bergeron]

Merci Gilles.

As advertised , here is the result of the zinc chromate treatment on the inside of the box .

Before spraying i carefully removed the oxydation on the aluminium parts with a non-metalic scouring pad. The steel i cleaned up wire a steel wire brush.

Next step will be the woodwork when my friend and helper Daniel comes back from.. Florida ( lucky SOB ) in about a week or so .

In the meantime we are going to have a public showing on Armistice Day ( Nov 11 th) in the streets of the local community.

We ( at the local Legion ) are organising a small parade. First in order of march will be a 1944 Jeep , then a 1944 UC No2 Mk 2 and closing the march the 1944 Wire 5 truck. A police escort will open the cheering crowds and push away the screeming women and prevent them from tearing off our clothes ..we wil be buried in flowers just like in Holland 70 years ago ( we wish ) ..

Cheers and don't forget to attend the ceremony at 11 O' Clock or observe 1 minute of silence in memory of our fallen.

Keep tuned , same time , same channel.
