The green truck is a Citroen - a resin model by Raventhorpe. So acceptably French then. The blue (or should that be 'bleu'?) monstrosity began life as a broken Coles crane from the Airfix Recovery Set. With the remains of the crane removed I added the fuel tank from the Refuelling Set's Bedford. For some reason I decided the ensemble had a suitable Gallic look. Or it may have been the wine.

Monsieur Le Petomane comes up trumps again!
The wine, huh? Looking through a Rosay tinted glass, do you reckon? Looks OK to me! ...
Great models the pair of them
Lovely stuff! Puts me in mind of my visit to the Yorkshire Air Museum - this airfield museum was the home of a Free French heavy bomber squadron during WW2. They flew Halifax bombers, complete with French markings!
Well worth a visit if you get up this end of the country: http://www.yorkshireairmuseum.org/
Very Nice. Works for me, Tim.

I've been to Elvimgton before but didn't know about the French squadron.

Good enough then!
A nice little bodge here Tim.
Another interesting vehicle for the masses would be this gem.
