We're currently restoring a Massey Ferguson 35X at the moment and I'm planning to put a few posts on my website as the work progresses, the first post is on the site now here: http://www.cianmcgovern.com/35x-restoration-introduction-overview/

Was at this event for 5 days spanning last weekend in August near Rugby UK, had a great time. It was organised by the Alvis Fighting Vehicle Society and the Military Vehicle Trust and was on farmland owned by the show organiser.
The main feature was the CVR(T)s - Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked), originally powered by 4.2l 6cyl Jag J60 petrol engine and with a top speed of 60mph! The current versions have Perkins or Cummins diesels and are still pretty nippy. They have aluminium armour and a basic Scorpion or Scimitar weighs around 7t.
Took a few pics of the green machines, there were 40 privately owned CVR(T)s there (the Irish Army only has 14 >:D)
Home for 5 days
3 live firing Scorpions in action
My mate Brian's Scorpion, the guy on the left in the turret was an old friend over from Holland for the event
Perkins Condor 1200hp V12 from a Challenger 1 tank
FV432 playing
Line up of each type of CVR(T)
Foden IMMLC DROPS wagon, I so want one of these! :drool
and one of these, Foden FH70 gun tractor.
Pair of Snatch
Supacat ATMPs, wouldn't mind trying one of these off road
Reynolds Boughton RB44, the pile of crap that was supposed to replace the 101 but failed dismally ::)
View from the commanders position of a Scorpion, I got a ride but not a drive, the drivers position is a tad tight!
Spartans, low miles, one careful owner.

A recent one from Singapore from a project I am working on, hire rate is €800k per day as it is not belonging to the shipyard we are working in.
Lifting capacity is 3600t inshore. What we are planning to lift is currently estimated at 3570t so a lot of nerves on the project from the strutural/operations lads but I am electrical so I don't give a sheet.
Image size is huge so I won't embed the full thing.

And to follow the theme of mining machines, here is a tyre changer for some of the smaller model of trucks. I saw it on a visit to a supplier near Lyon. Tyres up to 2.6m can be changed in this thing, they previously made one for up to 4m for Michelin. This one is being shipped to Brazil.
