NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 14 SEPTEMBER 2009

Welcome to this week’s newsletter with an update on new items this week on Miliblog

After last week’s busy week, we raided the collection and concentrated on two main areas that are always popular. 15 photos of Land Rovers and over 20 photos of Diamond T 980 M20 Prime Movers ! Lovely ! So the question for the day is which category should the Dizzy T M20 go in ? It’s from the US and it’s wartime, so that should be easy. But I hear you say, it seved with the British Forces in WW2 ……. and it was fitted with a Rolls Royce engine and served well into the 1950′s and 1960′s !!!! Well not an easy question, but we decided to put all the M20′s under US WW2 Heavyweight vehicles. So that’s where you will find the YZ registed ones. Anyone know if the Dizzy T below is still at Heybeck Garage in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire ?

The Landies are mainly in RAF service and I really like to see what else is going on in the photo, don’t you ? Have a look at the photos below with the old VC-10 aircraft in the backgound. Maybe taken at RAF Brize Norton ? Finally, a nice photo of a Austin Metro Van in RAF colours to show the military uses all sorts of vehicles, even a humble Metro Van.

So back to the albums for a good mixed bag selection next week including some tanks !

Cheerio !
