Yes Mike that is Definitely Rory's CS8. I even recognize it being parked outside his house. What I'm not sure of though is, This bloke says he has the only two wireless bodies? I helped Rory (with others) with the unloading of the two he bought. These must surely be the same two? And yet Rory is restoring one and sold one. I feel a phone call coming on later today. I'll let you know. Ron

OK I just spoke to Rory. He did in fact sell both bodies to that chap Bob. Rory is content to refurbish the remains of the prototype body he already had, after purloining some vital bracketry from the other two before they went. Ron

Mike, my Geocities pages also went walking. Probably no longer fits the market strategy of whatever company owns the domain now. When you find a good alternate free provider, let me know.

On the subject of radio shacks, gin palaces or whatever they are called. Jaap de Wit has a MCC body on his C15:


I remember it as I got the ad from Richard N., sent it on to an interested party, and the rest is history as they say.

Default Commonwealth made or used by

Interesting site and when I hit it from the US it worked.

Now as to coverage in MLU clarification is needed, are MVs used by Commonwealth Forces, or built in covered under the umbrella?

What about Universal carriers used my the US Marines- the other direction of US Lead Lease logical for the Carrier Forum.

Just kidding around

Cheers Phil
