Default Homeless 1

You have all seen Steve's son Luke Stone's 11 F15 before but it looks just too good no to include it here sitting in the sun on a warm English afternoon waiting to go back into it’s parking bay once all the huffing and puffing is complete

Hello Stefan

thank you yes I'm very pleased with the D15 it's very original and not been messed about.

You will have seen what happens when I'm not there to look after the OCMP I understand Dirk lost a day as well

I had intended to try to get to Beltring on the Friday but work just got in the way, hopefully this will be a situation that will not continue for too much longer as a long awaited life change is in the offing

You never know you may see me in the Autumn !!

Best Regards

Pete

Default Tank

That tank reminds me of a Thompson Bros (Bilston) Ltd production!

Default Tank

David

It's a British produced tank so could well be, Steve bought it from a dealer in Belgium but it came from a farm near Dunkirk I believe and still has the original makings visible I'll find a photo.

Default Thompsons?

Looks like a Thompson Bros one...I have a photo of a 1940 Canadian Army C15 with a Thompson Bros tank. I think that they produced the tanks for pre-war MCC 15-cwts as well. Anyone else any thoughts please?
