Mick Norton Mick, There was actually an airborne Plant Sqn, from Aldershot and their Muir Hills had the cab 'hacked' off. I use that word because it was a rough job! I guess it was to reduce the height to fit in a Herc. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was it, I could not remember the number. I did a lot of plant repairs for units around the South East District, inc. 36 Engr Regt, RSME and so on.

ploughman Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Did anyone get to any of the RE Demonstrations? Our Plant course had a slight involvement back in 1979 at Lodge Hill. Apologies for the quality but it was a pocket instamatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
