I have been endeavouring to use up my cheap nitromors thisafternoon and have been stripping the upper part of the 101.
I found a nice surprise under the front vent!
My Ambi appears to be 'Chavasse VC' - who was an upstanding army medic who got the VC twice
FANTASTIC!
That really is a find - can you let alasdair know ASAP please, he'll be right happy (honestly - it's like stamp collecting with attitude for Al).
Hey, does this make you a Chav? ;-)
A Chav Ass as my sister put it!
I've emailed Al - first thing i did :)
I couldnt believe it when i worked out what it said!
I'm guessing that there might also be an Upham VC ambi somewhere!
I feel bad about stripping the writing off!. I'm working round it and leaving it till last for now. I shall take lots of pictures and measurements so that i can repaint it back on top later!
wow, I've found Alasdairs website now and he's even done some letter writing to find out why they named his! I feel all cultured spending an evening reading about all this stuff!
Tom Woods uttered summat worrerz funny about:
Super stuff! It's rather spooky when it suddenly becomes "different" from the rest init.
Theres a load of medical supplies on

No way i'm putting all that stuff back in now!
As it happens Al has also found me an in service picture of my ambi! apparently this is 'as delivered'.

Nice one, a little more History unearthed.
