- a wide interest in military and naval history
- my father and I have a small collection of Bedfords and AEC Matadors.
At present we are restoring a 1939 Crossley Prime Mover and a number
of pieces of armour, including a Fox (GM) Armoured Car and a 1942
Staghound Armoured Car.

History
of Hobby - When and where did you start and how did you arrive where
you are to-day?
How long
have you been involved with War & Peace and in what capacity?
|
I've been involved
in restoring military vehicles since the mid 1980s and became involved
with the IMPS towards the end of that decade. In 1985 I took on
the role I still hold - of IMPS Western Area Secretary.
My latest project
is a register of all the remaining Staghounds in the world.
As an IMPS
volunteer, I have been involved with Beltring since 1994. Since
1995, I have completed a number of menial tasks, including traffic
control, gate guardian, litter picker-upper (how things have changed
since the Monday morning stroll with the black bin liner!!), and
I now spend most of my time in the vehicle booking-in tent.
