Default Loading gun tractor

This was the scene in Eltham this afternoon as Euan loaded the No9 CGT and Wiles Jr cooker. He has already unloaded and is now on his way back to collect 25 pdrs and limbers.

Hi Phil,
I will have to find out from Ian how high his load was. You are more than welcome to use the photos or any others that I might post.

Default Getting into it

Yesterday arrived after lunch, got into shooting and did an interview with Bob Schutt who brought this ultra-rare armoured version of the F15 built for the US forces in Australia known as the SC1.
He was kind enough to let me drive it too.

Another S.E.G.



Thanks Euan for the pic.

Back home again. I haven't downloded the camera yet. I enjoyed my time there meeting people again. I just finished watching the 6x6 DVD and enjoyed every second. Have a great day tomorrow.

Keith...
Did any one take a shot at you..to see if the armour was real or not...???
Could have been a lot more interesting to run the gauntlet of Bren and Sten gun fire from a bunch of your liquored up mates..
Sure would have pissed the guy off to scratch up his nice "Down Town " paint job..
That would be the last time he offered you a test drive...
You look pretty spiffy in the drivers seat anyway...
Good job..
Alex

Is this you screaming in this video..??

Taken 35 years, but finally got to have a ride in a Ferret, even raced it around a paddock with the Humber. Then a couple of swims in a Stalwart, which I thought I would never do. What a blast.
