robin craig Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Correct me if I am wrong but we dont seem to have a single CVR(T) dedicated gallery. We have many individual vehicles only. Here is an image from my collection, another Robin, Robin Purgina is the photographer. I would say it was early 1990s but I can't date it exactly. As far as I can tell this was 00 GM 21 and is a Samson. Note that the colours of the BATUS scheme have varied over the years. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hopefully these will appear OK. My Spartan before during and after painting. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Here's the Spartan we're just starting work on. It needs a good service and a coat of paint, I have been trying to decide what colour it should be and I think I'm going to be boring and do it green and black!

sirhc Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Here is Sabre 02FD69 on Operation Agricola 4 in Kosovo. I had this photo and some others from Kosovo when 02FD69 went through the tender sale in October 2006. I did try to buy it, to go with our Spartan 48AT14, which was also in Kosovo at the same time. I was outbid unfortunately, but I ended up buying 04FD31 from the few much better vehicles round the back instead. The vehicle in the background is 49AT37, and the one next to it was 03FD10. Both of which we ended up buying some years later. Edited February 10, 2014 by sirhc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Some pics from the British Miltary Tournament at Earls Court Dec 2013. The Scimitar was the (ahem) recovery vehicle. Thankfully it wasnt needed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Cpltomo I can't see the connection on your 4th pic . There are no VRN's showing. What am I looking at here?? Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Al Although I cant see it on my tablet, the VRN is just visible on my PC, I guess due to better screen and it does look very like 03 FD 66... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I am glad Al said he could not see it as that is what I felt when I first looked at it. Now that I have gone back again I can see it, somewhat faint mind you. The 66 is the part I am having the most difficulty seeing. Can anyone blow the image up?

timbo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Just had a proper look on my PC instead of Crapple....it is definitely 03FD6....but not sure about the last digit, could be an 8 or 9... Either way great pics Tomo, esp like seeing Sabre pics in service as there are so few of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]89193[/ATTACH]I don't see a QOY connection on this Merlin Report. Also intrigued that the first Merlin date is 1988. This vehicle will have been around for the best part of 15 years by then. It cannot surely have been QRIH ever since its build. I am sure QRIH moved out of Paderborn in 1978, leaving their Chieftains to 3RTR, but I could be wrong. Just a week or two back I was talking with some ex-3RTR WOT buddies and telling them that the M36 Jackson tank destroyer was the chavvy council estate cousin to the M18 Greyhound tank destroyer, like chav tankies were to cavalry. Yes, they bit big time, though as one did concede, harsh but fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
