Always loved the look of WWI motorcycles, especially the Clyno motorcycle and sidecar with the mounted Vickers MG. Does anyone know of a company (except the very expensive Scalelink one!) of a WWI era motorcycle, with or without a sidecar? Don't mind what scale, I know similar looking motorcycles w...

Not realy a military vehicle but in the same mould (snow instead of mud, crevasses instead of trenches) see this item on the 1939 Antarctic Snow Cruiser. Tritton might have been proud of it (and it even carried its own aircraft). This actually got built.

Attached photo shows a very odd vehicle - a morane aircraft converted into a tender/firetruck. Now how was it steered? which wasy did it go - was it used as a pusher or tractor? The position of the crew suggests its going backwards.
Not another mutilated morane, but nevertheless an interesting photo at: Axis History Forum / The end of the Ottoman Empire 1908-1923/http://forum.axishistory.com/files/phoenizischer_baederexpress_194.jpg
There seems to be a lot going on at H?T that they're not telling us about through the usual channels. These are masters for Indian Troops, certainly late 19th, possibly early 20th, century. Someone who seems to know says they're Punjabi. I don't know enough to say whether these would be suitable for 19...
Further to the many discussions about the Studebaker, I came across another version of one of the?two pics of it.?In Pic 1 there's some sort of vehicle in the background, and Pic 2 is usually cropped so you can't see the other vehicle. However, in this version you can see what looks like the rear sprocke...

Hello my name is Andrea Rigsby, I am Tim Rigsbys wife. I just wanted to let you know that Tim has had a heart attack; he will be out of pocket for awhile.

The post on the German forum I found it on claimed it was a one-man tank, but gave no further details. Clearly as it has two head covers, it is at least a Two Man tank. Still, I've never seen it before. Only 4 road wheels? Bizarre...

Does any one have any date(s) for when Mk IVs switched back to Hotchkiss from Lewis mgs? Similarly when were hatches on the drivers cab introduced on the Mk IV? I'm trying to date some photos.

Despite the caption, I know of no black troops from Britain's African colonies being in France. Is it fair to assume that these men are from The British West Indian Regiment? P.S. Just discovered this: It's well known that black Empire troops were only allowed?to serve as non-combatants?on the West...

Hi All, I didn't have enough time to finish my 1/35 mk.V 9004, but Ive made some progress in painting it and such, I am trying my best to have an accurate model of the specific tank, but unfortunately I only have one photograph of the tank. The tank had very interesting markings, skull and bones on the side...
Silly question, I assume the colonial units had there own artillery. Did they have? the same uniform as the colonial infantry? Were they organized the same as the regular artillery? Thanks
I enclose a photo I've come across - apologies if any have already seen it. I think there may be a copy somewhere in the AWM (but thats not where I found it). Its a lost of supply tanks parked - somewhere. It provides some interesting items. Firstly whilst most of the tanks are Mk IV supply tanks there are al...
