Can I just point out the OOPS! on page 3 of the #67 'Saladin' Armoured Car is the wheel fitted on the wrong way additional to the paint problem or was the wheel not noticed when submitting the picture to the OOPS! section...!

Nick, can I suggest you put a link to the website as your signature at the bottom of your post, this way whenever you post to the forum, we can quickly go to your website which is an excellent source of information which is undervisited by many of us forum members, we seem to stay on the forum rather than go to the website and we should be visiting it more often.

I agree, I think they should be included along with this...

Thanks Nick for putting these together - I'd forgotten quite a few of them - must go through & label so I don't sell off by accident.
Honestly can't remember that Hoveringham Tipper - was that from me or another member?

Sure you'll get a few more "oops" coming in to add to the hall of fame.

Thank you Nick for doing this. You have made a great looking page for these. I really like looking at some the crazy thing the worker let out to be sold.

Seems to have been a tampo machine problem in later years.
