My HGV licence has been away 10 weeks now, when I called they said there was a backlog with the medical dept. and 8 weeks was the norm!

I or 'people' didn't call it the reserve collection, they did on the sign by the front door...

The markings are ex-RAF, Tactical Communications Wing (TCW) Ground Support Equipment (GSE). The ALR and Number are from the Ground Equipment Management System (GEMS). So TCW had at least 14 of these, the ALR type code does not stand for anything, it's just the next code in the list. The guys who did the type coding sometimes connected them i.e. the new Air Start Trolley was given the type code AST. TCW spent most of it's life at Brize Norton and is now at Leeming. Mark.

No1 Air Control Centre (RAF) These were used to tow the type 91/92 RADAR I believe. However I think this one may have been in a batch of 7 delivered to RAF Boulmer in 1985 I think. I was working in MTMS as the Lecky at the time. They were 'big' pin fifth wheel coupling at the time, later converted to ballast type iirc. Mark

Convoy on the M6 Toll (MOD's got more money than they let on) .

The military don't pay to go on the M6 toll road, you just show them your vehicles paperwork.

These guys have the seals in stock. They are not listed on their web-site so you'll need to ring, I think I paid about £3.50 delivered.
