Living in the West Country I often see many Royal marine vehicles of all types. Some have a blue/red square with a white number on. As can be seen on this pic of a defender above the number plate Does it represent a troop, a section ,an area etc etc I have seen many different numbers 6, 9, 14 ,1 etc Is there a definitive specific allocation or what do they represent I have wondered for years Thanks in advance for any response

news War and Peace Revival *New Location*
mattblack replied to 118thsignalsregiment's topic in War & Peace show.
As a stall holder at this event for a fair few years,the price of the pitch and the fuel costs put paid to my idea of this event being much fun this year.So much so that I gave the TATBARROW up completely. Lugging the "TAT" an extra 50 miles definately doesnt seem a good idea for 2013. I can see that other traders may think about this and the price of goodies may reflect at the additional transport costs in 2013. Will I still attend as an exhibitor, well Im going to have to weigh that one up, driving a V8 snatch isnt cheap at the best of times and the extra distance may be a show too far. -
show report Reporting Live from W&P 2012
mattblack replied to Marmite!!'s topic in War & Peace show.
its been persistant rain here in Somerset,all day today.Making loading vehicles and preping them ready for the trip rubbish. If the ground at Beltring is anything like my garden is at present its going to be difficult to find an area to pitch a tent that doesnt have standing water on. Least of all drive to/across. I hope this bad spell soon passes. Wellies are loaded ! and its not gunna stop me from coming -
show report Reporting Live from W&P 2012
mattblack replied to Marmite!!'s topic in War & Peace show.
with the talk of 'trenchfoot' here and there, I will be bringing a quantity of army foot powder .stall A33/34 ! should sell out quickly by the sound of things:-D:-D On a lighter note, the rain wont put a dampner on the show, we have all been wet muddy cold or hot and dusty before ,Its all part of the great atmosphere that makes us attend and return each year. Im there from Sunday all being well. I just hope the GINGER GAMON bar doesnt get flooded ! Looking forward to being there -
Hello Simon and welcome, theres a few LandRover military owners around Somerset. dont be afraid ... regards Colin

Heres a couple of newly converted 'R-WMIK+' on the back of a low loader at Bridgwater Truck stop en route to Lympstone at the end of last year, note the numberplates.....'KK' denotes an ex Snatch landrover (32KK76)...The other is a converted Wolf (HJ69AA). Cosmetically the same and about time that surplus vehicles were recycled rather than cast and ££££s spent on new vehicles, me thinks.
