Great looking Lab there, Tony! Would look lovely, head out the Blitz window, going for a cruise in the evening!

She's just as likely to spy a cat and jump out of the window. Lovely companion, friendly and placid.....but dumb as pig poop.

Fluid pump is finished. Only need the hoses to complete.

Good day Tony,
Beautiful, careful workmanship on a very pretty piece of equipment.

Cheers Ken,

I'm currently in discussions with a chap down south, with a view to purchasing a portion of trails and carriage. Neither piece are in great shape, and the trails, which is about 1/2 of total length, has battle damage where a shell has passed through it from right to left, leaving some quite dramatic impact on the vertical part of the steel. I like it! I am tempted to retain it (assuming I purchase) but will need to examine closely to ensure it isn't so bad that it compromises strength.

Didn't I say to you 12 months ago that this is going to end up very close to an original 25 pounder, you are still heading in the right direction to make it come true, and I hope it does.

Does anybody out there know someone that may travelling from western Victoria to/through South East Queensland, and have room to carry some 25 pounder parts? Parts will fit on a standard pallet, and would need a forklift to load. Three strong men from the circus may lift them up, but I wouldn't fancy trying. There is forklit available at loading point, and I can meet the shipper anywhere from Gold Coast to Hervey Bay, if that helps. Timing of travel is not critical, and I'm happy to wait a few weeks or so, if required.

I'm looking into transport companies for the move, but I have reasonably modest finances, so that could be beyond my means. If I cannot sort any other way, I'll have to take a jaunt down there with my trailer! It's only a 3600km round trip, after all. I'm hoping I don't have to do that though. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

On a different note, we have just receive word that our Son will be in the ANZAC Day Parade in Brisbane. We booked accomodation in Brisbane CBD, just across from ANZAC Square, a few weeks ago, hoping he would be participating. We're very glad we did, now.
