    Yes that was us. A damp but enjoyable weekend.
    Here is our setup


    Was this your 101?



    This was us at the 2013 Guyra event. We cooked up some roast lamb & sold hot lamb & gravy rolls to the troops.



    I need to chase up a proper army awning rather than that plastic one!

    Couldn't make it this year, but hopefully next year will be a goer.

    Yes that is us...we were asked to go this year but we had another trip already booked with our club. Which was good as the 101 ran like a piece of **** so it would have been a bit hard to take all the way to Guyra. Maybe next year...

    Wiles junior

    Does anyone know of a restorable wiles junior thats for sale? I remember my old club used to have one that went out to club events.
    The first time I saw one was at the Bankstown airshow in 91 and since then my father and myself have wanted to get one.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    A nice restorable Senior in northern NSW. Comes with lots of hard to find accessories. Good price, but of course transport home will add to the final price.

    I think I now own the one you refer to. Fully operational. I can't remember the previous owners name, (Wolfe?) he was in the Blue Mountains somewhere. His family sold it after he died about fourish years ago. He used to take it regularly to NSW events. There was a complete junior for sale on eBay recently by a NSW collector. Asked too much and I don't think it sold.

    That would have been the one. One of the club members told me that it was coming up for sale at the time, I told him to let me know when it did. Unfortunately for me he forgot about it.
    I did have a look and bid on the one on ebay, it was a great example however you are right, it was just to expensive for me.
    I have thought about a Senior, but I think my NORFORCE HJ47 would need an engine rebuild before she would haul it at the moment.
    Thanks for the replies guys. If anyone does hear of a junior that comes available, could they let me know.

    I am still waiting for wiles cooker no 2 to find its way completely home.
    I do have some more information on it.
    It boiler is stamped
    51134 shell seamless
    boiler unit
    AEG7-8-53
    VAOS
    ser no 1057
    WP 100 lbs SQ IN.
    X ray report No E90L
    The second wiles unit will not be restored is it is to far gone rust wise.
    I suspect the boiler in that unit cannot be saved or the ovens.
    I is a good source of parts for the first Boyed unit and it has good hard to find 18 inch tyres.
    The Wiles war time wheels are interesting as they are a standard American trailer pattern as is the stud pattern and only used during the war and why it so hard to get wheels or rubber for a WW2 wiles....they fit only trailers and not vehicles.
    The new/ old boiler drum is home am appears never to have been X rayed
    It is marked as follows in paint and not stamped.
    JBA 0042
    J2
    D arrow D
    o/n 5170,147
    The second wiles cooker has a army rego no of
    125 895...........that no was found on the yearly boiler inspection cert ....the rego plates are unreadable.
