Need a bit of a hand here. Can anyone suply a printed source for this photo of the Mk IV Wire-puller, i.e. a book in which it appears. I thought it was in one of D. Fletcher's, but can't find it. Any info much appreciated. -- Edited by James H on Friday 18th of January 2013 05:57:41 PM

Citizens! Just returned from Bov. Last visited 5/6 yrs ago, before refurb.
Can report that new set up is magnificent in almost every respect. One or two reservations, and one cause for concern.

I'm trying to see how much of the Lewis guns was poking out of the sponsons and front of a Mk IV. Unfortunately I don't trust the details on the survivors - Grit's guns don't look quite right, Deborah and Liberty don't have any, and Flirt II and 245 were almost?completely rebuilt so are unlikely to be auth...
I recently borrowed a 1971 issue of the magazine Old Motor (Vol 9, No 2) because of a nine-page article by Ray Hooley about Hornsby's chain tractors. As I'm about to return it, and as it's long out of print and otherwise unavailable, I scanned it and tonight made a single pdf of it (around 16Mb). You shoul...

New Field gun firing positions. Typical WW1 18 pounder gun pit with earth bank walls revetted with sandbags and wooden posts and the floor made from planked wood.

Hi all. Does anybody know if (or can one reasonably assume that) Dennis and/or Thorneycroft 3-ton lorries were used by Russian (Red, White or Don) forces during the Russian Civil War?
