New Member Introduction
Hello, my name is Neil,and I live in Florida, USA. I was born in the UK, grew up in South Africa, lived in Guyana for five years and am now a US citizen. My father was in the RAF flying Lancasters, post WW2 and my grandfather was a sergeant in the RAC, 27th Lancers for the duration of WW2.
I guess it's my British heritage that makes me collect 1950's Triumph motorcycles, British service weapons (Snider onwards), and more recently, I acquired my first armored vehicle, a Daimler Ferret Mark 1 that was in Canadian service with the 8th Canadian Hussars. This vehicle has been in dry storage since being sold in 1981 and I'm in the process of doing a complete strip down and rebuild. I'm intending to return it to as close to the 1970's era as possible. Thanks for letting me join the site.
