Elmar Bijlsma Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Googling around I came across the Churchill Mk II CS (close support) tank. It swapped the 2pdr and 3 inch howitzer around, so 2 pdr in hull, 3 incher in the turret. I thought that was neat but then I found a reference to a Mk I CS tank. 3 inch howitzer in the turret, 3 inch howitzer in the hull. I'm not sure that it ever saw service, but that's something I'd like to drive around with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffertape Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Yes at Dieppe I don't think that a single Churchill made it off the beach. Wisbech Lad - are you from Wisbech in the UK near The Wash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty's Double Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Ah, gaffertape, the universal panacea for all ills. We once hung a 4K PA from the ceiling of a club with the stuff. We told the safety officer we'd used chains and wrapped them in tape to stop them scratching the bins. Ever do the gaffertape lightning trick? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you ever have one of those old fashioned ice trays with the lever that breaks out the cubes, try that in the dark sometime with some really cold, dry cubes. It's a treat!

gaffertape Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Wisbech Lad - Been to Wisbech many times. Dad grew up in Lynn and his brother lives in Wisbech. Used to own a company called Mechro, now Drake Towage. Actually I have a camo jacket with me here that was purchased in Andy Cochrane's shop. Monty's Double - gaffertape is definitely the stuff. I've used it to repair clothing, hold on car fenders, as well as supporting lights from a grid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
