NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 23 MARCH 2009

Hi again, Bienvenue, Wilkommen, Ciao to you fellow military vehicle enthusiasts

Welcome to our website dedicated to military items and in particular photographs of military vehicles both in service and in private ownership receiving lots of loving care and attention. Well what do we have new this week to whet your appetite ? Starting off, a few more badges were popped on, including ten more British Army shoulder titles and some WW2 anti-aircraft badges. 

We visited the RAF Cosford Museum again at the week end and I have to report that the BRIXMIS Opel Senator is back there again. There’s a great website telling you all about thsi unit, but basically it involved some undercover and clandestine work driving behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. These cars were especially equipped to get in and get out fast and were fitted with a whole lot of gadgets. I’ve added some photos of the car, of which one is below. Also added this week were some shots of the Alvis Stalwart amphibious truck of the 1970′s along with some nice AEC truck tractor units in RAF and Royal Navy markings. By the way, vehicles shown on the site are not just army, we have vehicles from all branches including in the next few weeks some 1950′s/1960′s Home Office vehicles.

Finally, I found a nice photo of a Netherlands Army Faun 6×6 Tractor unit, which I have illustrated below.

Well I must say it feels better this Sunday afternoon now the clocks in the UK are now on British Summer Time, meaning the evenings are lighter and making it easier for us all to work on our old vehicles. With  Easter holidays only 2 weeks away, the show season is almost upon us and Miliblog will be out there adding to our database.

Have a great week, all
