many thanks for the link Gordon.
What an extrodinary tale of dedication.
I had the pleasure of seeing a WW1 truck chassis, incl front/rear axles and wheels, in the sand blasters when I took some Dodge panels in recently.
Was told it was for Peter Jackson, the film director, who is making a WW1 movie here.
The guys at the blasters thought it was Thornycroft....but looking at that thread I am thinking, Dennis.
