BC312 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Seen this over the Hogmore enclosure at the back of the Bordon REME camp. Anyone know what it could be. I think that the body on its side sat onto of the trailer. Not sure the vintage of the trailer by its wheels, could be commercial not military. The top on its side has a turret type base inside with wiring on drums and electrics. Need closer examination. My thoughts that it could be radar or radio or it could be tank training. Note it has a ladder at the side. What do you think. Any ex REME remember it. Now rusting on its side. Need to know before someone in local council gets it scrapped.

BC312 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks Nick and for the link. Looks like it would be a bit of a task to restore it. Are they rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
