fv1609 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hi Guys. Anyone know where to go when Bovvie does not have the vehicle record. I have FOX 01 GM 00 which had been misregistered as 01 CM 00 in the past but I still cannot find a service record ?All the best Mark Mark try a search here for £25 Attn. Erica Spencer Royal Logistic Corps Museum Princess Royal Barracks Deepcut Camberely Surrey GU16 6RW or be being a member of EMLRA I think its £2 to have a search done on the MERLIN system. I have had a search done on a Pig with no problem, but the info for this was basic, not a record card as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Incredibly enough this same discussion is going on on the Army Rumour Service RAC forum (http://www.arrse.co.uk). An impeccable source (my best man, subsequently RSM of the Light Dragoons) assures me that in the Spring of 76 a Fox and a Scorpion were clandestinely brought into our camp in Omagh in ISO containers in order that 15/19H could carry out gunnery conversion from Chieftain to 30mm (Fox / Scimitar) and 76mm (Scorpion), since 15/19H had gone to Omagh from Fallingbostel as armour, but left Omagh as Recce. Drivers returned to the mainland to be retrained. This left the troop short of drivers and the sprog me, with a Group A car licence, to drive a section Landrover or a Mark 2 Ferret with no training other than "The gear change sequence is different: select the gear, hit the GCP(gear change pedal) and release: the gearbox will do everything else." With absolutely no concept of a preselective gearbox, it took a lot of getting used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Check out this thread: http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/viewtopic/t=29731/start=120.html The (currently) four postings in page 9 are from me, my best man and a guy I have known since my pre-army mid-teens (the latter, aka Hat Mackem, who posted the Fox picture, is second from the right in the back row of the picture).
