The trade stands at Beltring 2008 provided a splendid selection of 'rust', mainly from the Eastern Front and featuring quite a lot of Nebelwerfer projectiles ( or bits of... ) which I hadn't seen before.... No home is complete without one !
Oooh, can I play! I bought what seems to be a Panzer II track-link (with some nudging from Bodston, thanks Bod ) looks right to us but still fearing I'll find some earth mover with similar tracks. Then a mate trumped me somewhat by buying a rather more expensive (6Xmore) Panther Link... Never seen a Sherman link, which is what I'd like. Any restorers out there with a skip-full; bring 'em to Beltring! I know a few weirdos that'd probably buy 'em. Cheers, Adam.
I sure did...I think I posted it somewhere else, but here's a repeat... I really wanted the complete Nebelwerfer round, but there were 160 reasons I didn't ( each one a £... ) and also, my Wife may not have been that understanding.... But I consoled myself with the two big chunks of 150mm rocket for £10 each ( that's more my sort of budget ! ). They are very heavy indeed and carrying them back to the car was murder....but I am the proud owner of these ( ahem ! ) historic relics...... ( PS : Note the original German Gothic script on the paper which was used to line the 'warhead' - or should that be 'war-tail'...? PPS : Does this make Adam the NEXT WHEATCROFT....??????? )
Component by component... I Will have a Panzer II by c.2070 (this plan was formulated on MRE based cocktails... so it must be sound. (please note. MRE based cocktails are a very bad idea.)
Also rorm the Ostfront came this pair of motorbike kick-plates - the stallholder wasn't sure if they were BMW or Zundapp... I was interested to discuss them because they looked familiar - here's the fragment I pulled from bushes near Moissy Ford last Autumn....
