Going Nuclear would have been a quick end to the Argy problem, But you got to remember the cold war was still on and big brother was watching Britians every move:wow: dont think Maggie wanted end of the world as well as her career:D:D:D

back in the 80,s choice of IRR Green or Shiney Green same colour as the IRR

I was RAF and mine had epaulettes front and back, the compass pocket could be added by our Sergants wife as an extra:wow:

cos she was a seamstress and made a fortune sewing in creases to the trousers:D

You sure its not an RAF REGT jacket you got? because thats a Warrant Officers badge I think:nut: and you would have DZ and wings like an army one

Christian

You sure it was at Brize?:-\ As i did a year on MT there:cool2: and never saw it in a blue paint job

Wecome to the forum:)

I was born and raised in South Devon back in the days when Britain had an Army, Navy and Airforce:D:D

Welcome aboard:cheesy: sounds like rock ape turned to MT for the logistics then slung in the office cos of his drinking habits!! LOL:D:D:D

You will love it here

All the Rock signs were marked with SQN no in the top left for Rapier and CVRT and the bottom letter is flight and vehicle number

TSF at RAF Catterick later became 4001flt was marked in the same way 4001 top eft with vehicle fleet number bottom right

Easy enough to make one up if you know the Rapier field sqn numbers for that period.

51 SQN and vehicle D2 was at RAF Catterick in the 80,s

cant tell you the vehicle its off though

Christian

forgot to add its a CVRT SQN

Only a thought! goes on the black peaked cap the station officer wears, and maybe the others aswell. I can remember at Lyneham it was a civvie crew in the 80,s and they never wore hats but the SO did.

Christian

I can remember transforming 58 webbing with DPM

Rock ape trophy after a night out with a nurse!

I just recieved this at my hotmail address looks like another scam:cool2:

the RAFP used 12v soft tops and it was orange stripe with the 1 inch black band either side They also had the black and red raf police plates detachable front and rear.

As for Rapiers I never saw the 1 inch band on RAF gear, maybe the Army had them like that so that they were better targets on excerise!

The RAF MT ones normally had the yellow stripe, Rock ones were cammed or plain green no stripe, or you could have RAFP with an orange one:-D

Thanks for the links guys:-D

got a link for us lazy people?

I didnt see the thread either, but wish you well and 2 weeks of no HGV is not so bad, I lost mine for 6 months then got it back again

Christian
