@mattheide2775 I do like that they had a 2nd use and I guess they were good for forest fire volunteer company's.

@mattheide2775 I get what you mean and it looks such a small engine for a saloon car I wonder if there was anything on the road in 1933 that came close to it's good looks and knowing it was designed by the Wilks brothers it's quite legendary.

@mattheide2775 It's great that the Government give Thornycroft the incentive money and used it for much better use back then talking about a work horse did I ever tell you that I made a video about the first 4X4 1912 FWD I heard to day that the British Army has received It's first delivery of the new MAN HX MK 3 / Rheinmetall they are getting 500 for £282 million.

@neildelaney5199 I'll look into the mpg though friends hope to make more videos about WW1 transport have you seen my FWD video ?

@@andysvehiclehistorychannel I am subscribed to your channel, so if i haven't seen any of your films i can certainly find them, Cheers Fellow

@neildelaney5199 Nice one dude it was uploaded November 2023 i'v also made a 2nd episode about it's use in British Army service 🫡

@brentleslie8156 What was the job like from about 1968 they started to make sheet steel armour kits they helped protect the convoys along with the Reo gun trucks and M37 Dodge glad you learned something and I'm planning to do a better voice over and longer video next year for the channel's anniversary.

@13infbatt I definitely agree they had so many roles in Vietnam but this is by far the coolest.

@mattheide2775 It was a pleasure to make this video it's a tribute to all the gun jeep operators and at the time I was reading about the Vietnam convoys I can imagine that tham radios were unreliable when they were in zone two going up the An Khe mountain pass was that the same type you used ?

@andysvehiclehistorychannel The radio looks like the kind I trained on. The radios were mounted on racks and there was the receiver and the transmitter that had to be clamped in. All of the cables were keyed and only fit the right socket. The hardest cable was the power cable that was short and I had a hard time connecting it using the Braille method while the sergeant is watching me. Good times. Also using a pencil eraser to clean the contacts before installing. It is amazing how a little corrosion on the contacts can cause problems. I also learned to expect the 20 year old batteries to be very weak and to gather as many as you can find.

@mattheide2775 As you know comms just fascinates me how long was radio training and was the morse code bit difficult ? They looked heavy back then I can very much believe that about that battery's and losing power is that last thing you needed in regards to the cables i'v offen tried to charge my phone and tried to put the power cable in upside-down I think my almost 30 year old brain is starting to show it's age 😁

@andysvehiclehistorychannel I wish Morse code was part of my training. It was before my time. For me it was learning to type at 30 words per minute without mistakes. We used teletype machines, basically you type the message on a big type writer and send a 40 word message in a quick burst. A quick radio transmission keeps the enemy from being able to lock a missile on your position. That's what they said 😂 The teletype was nice because it types out all of the messages. On voice radio messages I had to fill out a message form by hand. It honestly reminds me of being a secretary now that I think about it.

@mattheide2775 The Mosquito was amazing how it could drop SOE agents in it's roll with British Overseas Airways Corporation. I'm looking forward to the RNLI tractors and she was the best...

They are just amazing to see the unsung hero's of WW2 the Major's K2Y is were the new Airfix one comes from they took photos and scans of his K2Y and I hear he's got the model 😃

The Afrika Korps did help round up the Jewish so wasn't as clean as what has been portrayed.

@mattheide2775 Wow you know your gears i'v wanted to drive a tractor for so long what would be the maximum rpm on something this old 🤔

@@andysvehiclehistorychannel To make torque is everything in industrial engines. To this day the piston bore is smaller than the piston stroke and they make the most torque. I would guess this beautiful tractor might rev up to 2300. The gears multiply torque to create work, the low rpm limit needs many gears to reach top speed. Horsepower is not a true measurement of how strong an engine is.👍

@mattheide2775 Always good to teach new things was hoping to do an update for this one plans are in the works for more tractor videos but they are going to be more modern 👍
