NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 5 OCTOBER 2009

Hello and welcome to what’s new on Miliblog this week. Well I’m still as always searching out for new stuff for the website to share with you, my fellow MV enthusiasts. We now have over 3,600 photos on Miliblog to date and adding new items each week. We start with an unusual photo of a Warrior APC which appears a normal standard vehicle, until you look closer  to see it’s a sort of recovery vehicle without a turret and some sort of spade device at the back. Anyone got any suggestions ? Some more 1970′s British Army stuff added this week including this lovely M109 155mm SPG, lovely that is if you’re not on the receiving end. Next we have started the Japanese vehicle section with a couple of vehicles, one being the Hino Tractor featured below, which is a very close copy of US WW2 Autocar U-7144T 4×4 Tractor. Also we have added over 20 1980′s modern US vehicles, mainly M35A2 2.5 Ton Cargos and some nice Station Wagons, including the two featured below. The Ford F-100 Pick-Up has a ‘SAC OPS’ sign on the top, which stands for of course ‘Strategic Air Command’ . The other is a Chevrolet Custom Deluxe with a sign saying ‘RAF Bentwaters Fire Chief’ which I think is another photo out of the history books. Next is a cute Austin K2 which I couldn’t resist sharing with you.

Finally on the photograph section, we’ve had a couple of e-mails in asking if we had any aircraft in the collection and to keep our customers happy, we’ve added some nice ones of Avro Vulcan V-Bombers and also some good looking Jet Provost Trainers. Have a look also under the WW2 Original photos and we have a great shot of three Bristol Blenheim Mk1 Bombers in flight, in very early wartime markings.

So my friends I wish you another great week wherever you are in the world.

Cheerio !
