If you can help us with items we are looking for, sponsorship or know of somewhere ideal for our museum then please come - we talk to most people!

We extend our thanks to the Whyte&Mackay. Please thank them by coming to see us. For details of the show, where it is and when CLICK HERE   

The Australian Shark Sub arrives in UK waters!

At long last the Australian Shark sub arrives with us, held up for five days in shipping and ten days in the stores as a life and death battle raged over the issue of importing such a dangerious piece of equipment into the country - not really but we did have problems with import tax!

When it  stops raining we will get it out of the box but it looks really well thought out.

Come on all you Guys and Girls from Melbourne Australia - we need to know more about this one. Think back 15 - 20 years - who made it and where was it used? Contact Us

Croco wont go

After a complete clean up and general refit, the rotary engine in our Croco won't go. We have spark and we have fuel but no bangs! We will keep working on it but if anyone is used to this type of engine please Contact Us

Argo fails the test

We found out the reason for the Argo failing last month. The main fuse went after the voltage regulator bust. We are trying to get a new one but it seems to be taking time. If you can help with this older machine with a Kohler engine then please Contact Us

Remember we are near south London in the UK and always on the lookout for a suitable building for our museum!
