Humber FV1600

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Clive

Enjoyed the read about the Humber manual, snip its of different military vehicles are interesting to read and point out details that you have not seen before.

Got a kick out of the video of backing the Humber into the garage always a challenge big truck into small door way. After hooking the door casing on the barn door with one of the lift hooks on my radio box, I borrowed a fire house trick of painting lines on the floor which guarantee truck is centered in the door and as long as noting is left inside the box you don't hit anything.

Even with the small military mirrors it is just a matter of lining the rear tire up down the inside of orange paint line and backing in. The cross lines are for wheel chocks for the different trucks.

PS the truck won the argument with the barn scratched the paint on the lift hook and tore the door casing right off the barn.

Cheers
