Our 4×4 Response vehicles have had to pullout of the taxi service at Thorney as the water is now too deep for normal 4×4 vehicles. We are now into our 3rd week of deployment and no sign of it ending.
Thank you al for the best wishes. Unfortunately due to a senior moment, I hit the wrong button when adding dob to my facebook details, Another month to go.
Not sure what impact current floods will have. I did hear Upton on Severn could only be accessed from Tewkesbury, other roads flooded. There are also floods around Worcester.
Andrew, I think you will find livestock is getting moved right out of the flood area. RSPCA and Animal Welfare charities are involved. I understand the way in to the help desk/incident room is via police on 101.
The answer to your other question is the EA.
I am lucky to be in a dry part of Somerset but have some involvement with what is going on as I am a volunteer with Wessex 4×4 Response Association and one of their duty controllers. Last Tuesday I drove to Muchelney to recce the route. Our drivers have been providing a shuttle service getting people in and out of the village. Water has now risen again and route is impassable to normal vehicles. There are two BV206 tracked vehicles operating over that route now.
It really hit home last night when I was woken at 01:45 as we had received an urgent call to assist with the evacuation at Moorland, and other assistance over the day. Watching the local news on BBC gives some idea of what it is like.
I think we are going to be there for some days yet. It is great to know I can do a bit to help in some way as are our many drivers.
Welcome to the forum. Parts should be available there are a number of suppliers including Meetens, speak to Paul. I have manual / parts list for the 2a which I can scan and e mail, just drop me a personal message with your e mail address.
It is a small world, I was born at Highworth and lived at Stratton St Margaret before moving to Somerset. Know the lads at Haskins well as I went there for Land Rover parts. Also know Colin Hatch from college days.
OK so long as it is referred to as that site or similar and not named specifically.
The Mk25 is a 4 stroke and the 25c a 2 stroke, both were fitted to the Allen Scythe.
