Firstly the tank that got me there, 2003 td5 110


The re-inactors were alot of fun to talk to and realy get into their rolls. Right up to the rank systems in their own groups.

You can own anything that is deactivated. Or hire the blank firing stuff.


Stweart M3


Sherman.

Yeah and it's probably the one I used to own as some bugger (name withheld) from the eastern states sold it back to the Poms for a filthy profit.

G'day All, That's what happens when you sell/give away something it then belongs to another party and you have lost control over it, it's like the 109 Series 2A amphibious Land Rover that I could have gone and looked at in Newcastle not knowing it was what it was until it was too late, bought by a well known Land Rover person in this part of the world, it was sold to an unamed buyer for an astronomical sum ($20,000+ I was told) and it now lives in his private collection, all that and it could have been mine for less than $300.00 Au **it happens,, cheers Dennis
PS My good friend also had a S2 Ambulance, one of the prototypes, he sold to it a fellow who was going to restore it, so he gave him all sorts of NOS stuff to help in the resto,, hey presto the bodies off and fitted to a 109 S3 Stage 1 Isuzu, the rest ends up at a well known place for wrecking, is he p****d off yes but I told him the same thing as well...
