The inner cable is the positive, the outer ground (shielding). Test by checking resistance between the end of the outer cable and metal part of connector (or any unpainted ground of your VIC1 setup if you hooked it up already). Cheers, Mark

We once drove 2200 kilometers through UK / Belgium / Netherland / Germany in about 30 hours, if I recall right. But we were two of us and swapped drivers every two hours or so. You might want to consider taking a buddy along, that's more fun anyhow and you have some extra hands if something...

I'm 6'8" and feel relatively comfortable on a stock spring seat, but I will try to get another back rest, remove the thick padding and exchange it with a thin and modern material. One might gain around two inches by doing that, that can make a lot of difference and the original look is kept...

Amazing!

No offence taken ;-) Our family was bombed out of Stuttgart, and I still recall my Grandmothers stories from the airraids. She said that when they fled to relatives 30 kilometers away from Stuttgart the earth was shaking so badly during the raids that things fell out of the shelves in the...

Nice videos, unfortunately I've never seen a B17 live. A great book about the subject I can recommend is "The wrong stuff" by Truman Smith, who gives a great account on those hairy missions they flew over Germany in WW2. Cheers, Mark

Just a side note: I wanted to put a "thanks for the useful information" tag on a post in this thread but couldn't decide upon which one it should go. So here's a collective "thanks" to all of you for documenting this issue so well!

That's an interesting link you gave us here. Lot of pictures of old british trucks. I love those old Scammel trucks, they look really weird and have a character of their own! And by the way, Malta is a great place to visit for those who are inclined to history. Thanks for sharing, Mark

Looks like you'll have a real gem here! Keep us informed and post a few pictures now and then, it is always great to see how a restoration evolves! Cheers, Mark

bottleworks, would you mind making a few pictures and a small descripition on how you changed these o-rings? (sorry if that has been covered that way before, but I haven't found in the the search) Thanks, Mark

One mishap occured on its home-airfiled Albstadt-Degerfeld, the other in Manching/Bavaria. Nice clips, vtdeucedriver, thanks for sharing.

The aircraft had two bad landing mishaps, see http://www.me-air-company.de/ and http://www.me-air-company.de/bildergalerie.html After that the small and highly active me-air-company got into financial trouble because there were not enough funds to restore it to flying condition. The...

I'm a member of the German-Canadian Airforce Museum, which sees itself as a tribute to the Canadian Airforce which operated on the airbase until the middle of the nineties. The museum is a small one, but with very active members and strong ties into the warbird community. This produces events...

Hmmm comes to my mind that they make a good beer in Qingdao. Tastes very good with hot, spicy asian food. It's said the brewery is of old colonial german origin. I'm sure they wouldn't give us the recipe of it, being afraid someone could copy or clone the brand. ...

Mike, it is most likely to happen that we will pay a visit to the US in the next few years, and if it would be possible to have a glance at the B-25 I would make this a definite stopvover (is that in South Carolina? I have relatives in North Carolina, so it wouldn't be too far from the route...

vtdeuce, is that posting of the B25 pilot you have mentioned accessible, or could you quote it? That surely would be interesting.

Thanks for the information Charles, I'll go get the book. Indeed, they got some 17 B25 together for the movie which had been sold afterwards, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22_(film) lot of good infos about the movie here.

I've had this movie laying around here for a few years now on DVD and watched it yesterday for the first time and must say: this is the most __awesome__ footage of B-25s I've ever seen. And a most bizarre plot on top of that. Its sort of like MASH on steroids. The opening scene of the movie with...

Thanks a lot guys, that helped with a few misconceptions I've had. I'll try to find the aforementioned publications! I try to write a german wikipedia article about the M35 and need referable or quotable sources and a thorough research in the information I will be posting. Mark Mark

Hello everybody, I'm researching on the beginning of the M34 / M35 Trucks as well as the M135 type and ran into some dead ends, maybe someone could shed some light on the following questions: - I understand that the M34 was the first approved design of the new medium weight clas trucks after...
