Very nice, Mick! Your truck looks fantastic! Have you been able to drive it much? What will you do for an encore? Steve

Hi Steve, I have not driven it anywhere yet, she will only do 1 mpg on its big old petrel engine, so I will not get much of a chance to take her out on the road, it will cost £100 to drive to the local pub. I have booked a low loader to take her to the War & Peace show in July.

As for a next project (after a rest) I want to build something amphibious maybe a DUKW

Great job Mick.... Thanks for posting the video!

Incredible Mick!! Nice work. I can't tell you how much it means to see a functional 666. My Grandfather and Father built those during the war effort and it's truly gratifying to see one functioning and in such great shape.

Thank You!!

Wouldn't that serve a multi purpose at the museum from both the Brockway side and the Homeville display??? Who knows? We may one day see a 666 in our collection.

She was used in a film beach scene this week and it was perfect for a Photoshoped WWII photo

Looks excellent Mick. My grandfather was there. I couldn't believe our local paper didn't mention D-day yesterday on front page. truly the "greatest generation".... Brian

Well Mick,
If you ever get to this side of the pond, stop by in Pennsylvania. I'm sure we could find something for you to do in Scranton or Daleville

BTW, Beautiful work!
