Introduction
Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2010 8:01 am
Just a quick note to introduce myself.
My name is Ken and I live near Leeds in the United Kingdom. I have a growing collection of WW2 US vehicles, mostly bought as wrecks and restored, including 2 x Ford GPs, Dodge WC62, three half ton Dodges, 2 half tracks, a Diamond T 969A Wrecker, a polsten Quad AA gun, M10 Ammo trailer, MB trailer, 3 jeeps, a Sherman - but the interesting ones (to you) are the GMC252 and GMC353. I have tripped over this site as the 353 is finally in the workshop for it's long overdue rebuild.
We represent the 80th Inf and 702nd Tank Battalion units of WW2, there is a it more about the collection at http://www.thetroubleshooters.com/pt-today/index.html
We also undertake school visits for education purposes and attend events to raise funds for the Royal British Legion.
The collection also extends to several hundred uniforms from units which landed on or over the Normandy beach heads as well as 1000s of items of field equipment, photographs, maps, munitions etc etc (including 100+ ammunition crates).
Anyway, hope i have not overstayed my welcome on my first visit and thankyou for letting me in to the club house.
Regards from the UK.
