The likely lads managed to move the chassis last Monday evening and it is now ensconced in the courtyard.
Being away all week then followed by the crud weather I was grateful to have two days of sun this weekend. I made the most of it and managed to get two coats of galv primer applied.
So here it is in it's battleship grey splendour and ready for a final top coat next weekend if the weather sorts itself out again (it's Summer for godsakes...isn't it?)
Also a decision has been made on the paint for the bodywork etc. After a discussion on the HMVF I have decided on BS381C-224. Protega Containergard in Deep Bronze Green with a sheen/semi-gloss. Bought from Smith & Allen for £45 delivered for about 5 litres. More than enough for two LR's?
Also I have been having another sniff at finding out more about the military origins of Trigger. The best source I have found for older LR's seems to be the HMVF and the thread below has turned up a bit more info on South Eastern Command (which it turns out later became know as South Eastern District).
