What, exactly, is a MV?

Hi list,

Brought my newly acquired flightline trailer and my bomb cradle home today.
The flightline trailer is a flatbed that will serve to provide some mobile
(and) off the ground storage of various and sundry MV parts around here.
Space is at a premium. The bomb cradle will serve to make the Scout's
engine and transmission temporarily portable.

Along with this odd collection I own a LIFT, AERIAL STORES which is
basically the biggest freakin' floor jack you've ever seen. It's about 12'
long, has big pneumatic tires and is capable of lifting hydraulically about
2000# on a platform that has a separate fine adjustment for the platform's
attitude. It also has a drawbar and steerable front axle.

My partner, Bill, laughingly suggested that I could now claim I have 5
military vehicles.....Two Scouts, a WC54, the lift and the flightline
trailer. He discounts the bomb cradle in that it has no drawbar....just
casters. I told him (in jest) that I would pose that question to you
guys....the experts. Now he expects an answer...... So, do they count?

Keep em rollin!

TJ
