New Projects?

I think it would be cause for depression to be satisfied with just looking.

This is not the case when you have a building full ! in fact I don't have time to play with them as there is always something to find or do plus I am constantly restoring artillery however this is all down to personal choice.
If you ever visit the Uk you are more than welcome to call and look at them with me !

Thankyou for the invitation Rob, I will keep it in mind. Your artillery collection sounds very interesting and your knowledge of the subject extensive. It would make for a fascinating visit.
I was last in Yorkshire in 2010 after coming over for the War and Peace Show. Don't know when I will be back again but it wouldn't take much prompting for that to happen, my wife is from Devon and has family there and I enjoy touring the UK.

Cheers

This is an open invitation to any of you out there who share an interest in Artillery, this is if you venture to the North on England .Mind you Canada and Australia are that vast driving to Yorkshire would be like a trip to the shops !

Generally when I meet folk for the first time the first words spoken are and I quote ' I thought you would have been older' if I had a £ pound for every time I heard that !

Will be happy to take you up on that one of these days - will have to get my passport revalidated so I can get back into Cornwall upon my return!

Think it will be sometime in the new year before I can plan a trip north!

Though as you say, it's not that far really.

I started collecting WW2 junk at a youngish age... had a Bedford OYD, Bedford MWR, Bedford QLR and Ford GPW before I was 29... would have had a lot more if I'd had somewhere warm and dry of my own to keep it all - alas not and had to sell up and look for something smaller which would fit in the garage... the 75mm Pack Howitzer fitted the bill very well for that. I have a bit more space now and am revising my collection to suit... am sure will not get up to the range of gear you have though...

Cheers
