    This one is a gate guardian outside 2 Bn REME in Fallingbostel.

    That 578 looks in superb nick.

    Yes, it's in the OP but can't remember the name of it, Bustard OP or Bombard OP or something similar, it's a big bunker covered in railway sleeper with armoured viewing hatches so you can see out, we went in it during Afghan training.

    This is my video of the impact area on Salisbury Plain, in between the rounds landing you can clearly see some of the range wrecks.

    Oooooo Recy Camp, love it.

    The gold one is definately a Chieftain and the one sheeted up is definately a Challenger 1.

    Looking forward to seeing this take shape, cheers for posting.:-)

    It will be a treat to see the pics when finished.

    Which unit was that, was it 2nd Field Regt RA by any chance? A mate of mine (Recy Mech) had a similar story of dragging a 109 from fire mission to fire mission, think it was on the back of a 578 though if memory serves.

    It's people like this that keep people like me in a job, well done that man.:-D

    The North was a great place to visit and me and the family had a few nice holiday's in Kyrenia, absolutely lovely you just couldn't beat sitting in a restaurant in the old harbour late evening watching the sun go down with a nice Meze and a cold beer. Climbing up to St Hilarion castle was hard work but the sights from the top are unbelievable as you can see miles upon miles of the Northern Cyprus coastline. Oh happy days and I only left 6 weeks ago.:-(

    Hi Greg, I've just moved from Cyprus were I spent a couple of years as a recovery mechanic, had a great time and I've seen quite a few of the vehicles you've posted on here, as I lived in Akrotiri I got to see and photograph a lot of the aircraft that people get twitchy about. I've been away from the Island about 6 weeks now and miss the weather, your very lucky to be living out there now and I'm a slightly bit jealous:-(

    That's quite impresive, could be expensive though if it goes wrong.:red:
  15. recymech66
    Have to disagree with you there old chap, I've done many a decent recovery task in Bosnia and Kosovo in the mountains that you just wouldn't get a Foden anywhere near. Yes can be a pain laying out a 4 to 1 tackle but a great workhorse and really looking forward to the winch upgrade when it finally gets rolled out.
  16. recymech66
    How very dare you sully these hallowed pages of recovery vehicles with that dirty great Engineer vehicle.:-D:-D

    5 Tonne transfered to the front axle when BB operated Richard.

    I doubt they are the same spec. Just had a look on their site, definately not the same spec looks like a prototype or an old German one. MAN SV® most definately wont be on the civi market for many, many years yet.

    Ah that photo brings back memories, taken at Kinnegar Logistic Base Holywood Northern Ireland prior to the Kosovo conflict. A number of different vehicles including Snatch Land Rover, different Bedford varients were painted orange for deployment with the Kosovo monitoring force in 1998/99 just prior to the start of the conflict. Caused a bit of a stir IIRC with these Orange vehicles driving to the port in Belfast:shocked:

    Never seen a Bedford Calm with the canopy fitted, it would render the crane and load area pretty useless.

    Which scrap yard are these in? I've just left Cyprus and I've had a look around the scrappy's at Kolossi and Ypsonas (I have a few pics in an album on here from there). I saw a load of wagons at a scrap yard in Larnaca but didn't get chance to have a closer look, come to think of it there were quite a bit of road works going on opposite the yard so maybe these pics are from Larnaca. Missing Cyprus already, can't believe I'm saying that.:undecided:

    Just taken delivery of mine, but it's gone straight into the local MAN dealer to have a couple of problems sorted, can't wait to get it back so we can take it out and play.:-D Pics to follow.

    Maybe he should email the site owners then so they can update their information.:-D
  24. recymech66
    Looks like it mate but no, its in Osnabruck.

    Good advice, even the Army aren't exempt recording drivers hours, however a CO can issue a waiver to extend your driving hours if needs be for an Exercise, not sure how it would stand up in court though if you caused an accident after spending 18 hours at the wheel.:undecided:
