On the website you can apply to visit and they take groups if you can give them a good reason. I thought i might contact them about taking mine back for a reunion and sounding them out about a forum visit....
The photos in the equipment gallery are v interesting. Was hoping to find mine but not expecting it. I thought yours came from there too. If so they might entertain us going back and maybe give us a bit of history and regale us with stories of daring do...
Cheers

Yes John you are correct, Spadeadam is by appointment only. It would be very good for yours to go back but I am not sure that they would allow a military vehicle that doesn't belong to the MOD onto their site, but worth asking.
I can't remember if I told you that your Gaz 66 appears in ' Wings and Wheels Publications ' In Detail book Gaz 66 Variants, when it lived at Duxford.

Thanks Kieran I'll get a copy.
So are the two Zil radio trucks from Spadeadam too? Am not clear. I thought they were.

John, before you buy the book I must tell you that there is only one picture of your truck inside. Your vehicle wasn't a feature. If you do want to buy anyway , I bought mine from Jeep Promotions in Doncaster. ISBN 80-86416-20-8.
As far as the two Zils, I don't think they came from Spadeadam . When I bought the Gaz 66 that you now own, there was a Zil 157 Radio Body and a Zil 131 Decontamination truck that survived. I believe that there were two other Zils that were scrapped , but don't know if they were 131's or 157's.
Regards
Kieran
