Tried that, they haven't got the cards for either vehicle, but thanks anyway.:thanx:

:cheesy::bow:Hi folks, My name is mick. I have been interested in all things military since Noah was a lad. Served as a driver & driving instructor with 5th Royal Tank Regt, drove Centurion, Saladin/Saracen/Ferret, and last but by no means least, Stalwart Mks 1 & 2, Mk 1 tried to roast me with a load of petrol onboard,(1leaky jerry can,1 hot engine =driver exiting rapidly)24EK72 if anyone's interested. Prefered Mk2 after that. Demobbed 1970 after 5RTR disbanded and short spell with15/19Hussars on Chieftain. HGV 1 driver, Transport manager & General Dogsbody till retirement through ill health last Jan. Can't afford a vehicle of my own,(Golden Brown says he can't afford to give me any more) so I'll just keep going to shows & talking to you guys. If anyone wants a rather dilapidated AFV driver, a bit frayed at the edges, let me know. Managed to get into the driver's compartment of a 1RTR Challenger2 last year, took a bit longer than it used to, but the head's still willing even if the legs say WHAT?

Does anybody know if there are ways of finding out what happened to vehicles when they were demobbed? In particular a Centurion, 01ZR14, and a Stalwart, 17ET57, Cent was with 5RTR in Tidworth 1965/66, Stally with 5RTR in Wolfenbuttell Germany 1968/69

It was MUCH more fun at bovvy, TWO knife edges in a row, 1st gear up the first, point of balance, then 5TH down the other side and as far up the next as poss, then straight down to first to climb to the top, then straight up to 5th again. By the way, these aren't six feet high, they're about 12! AND I never saw or heard of a broken front idler.
