Nige is correct.
These are the numbers that I have, some are still used today, some units have been disbanded and this is not up to date.

Dougy, have a read of this - https://www.rusi.org/downloads/assets/201203_RDS_Ebutt.pdf

These are Supacat HMT 600 MEP. 35 were built for the Soothsayer programme, a replacement for the Odette electronic warfare system. The whole project was cancelled in 2009 at a huge cost to the taxpayer. Most of them are in storage at Millbrook at the moment. This is what they would have looked like with the purpose built box body fitted to the Supacat.

It started out it's life as a Scorpion(the hull) and was probably converted to a Sabre and it is now a Scimitar.
Tony and myself come across these every so often when we are roaming the Plain. Here is another example, I have the record cards for this one and it confirms that it was a Scorpion, then a Sabre before being struck off in 2005, as you can see it has returned as a Scimitar !!
This one belongs to the QRL and was photographed in April 2011.

Foden built i belive only one recovery 8x6 drops type eka with an atlas behing the cab just found the pic It was mentioned befor that paccar would not STGO one ,, i beg to differ,, proof is in the pic, also i wonder why it has a trade plate in it,, em anu ideas,,
I will try to clarify some of the issues raised so far. Around about 1996/97 a British Army Foden DROPS was handed over to EKA Ltd and stripped of all the Multilift DROPS kit, EKA then fitted a specialy designed recovery hamper known as EKALIFT 2500, this consisted of an upper extending boom rated at 12 tonnes, a low level extending boom rated at 6 tonnes, a hydraulic capstan winch rated at 25 tonnes and a 12.5 or 25 metre-tonne hydraulic folding crane. Also fitted to the front cab was a 10 tonne line pull hydraulic drum winch for self-recovery or other winching tasks.
The vehicle was then handed back to the army who conducted extensive trials in conjunction with EKA at Long Valley, Aldershot. EKA also extensivly marketed the system as it could be fitted to any similar sized truck and it was shown at the first DSEi at Chertsey in 1999, as far as I am aware none were ever sold(certainly not to the British Army).
At some point the vehicle was re-fitted with the DROPS kit and returned to the army, I have photos of the vehicle taken in 2001 at Ashchurch as a normal Foden IMMLC DROPS truck.

Do you know what the original British Army VRN was? That may help with the identification.

Here is the complete listing of 1 RTR vehicles from 1998.

The tradition is still very much alive today, these have been taken over the past 3 years.

Generic term, that's what I call them whenever I see them when I am skiing !!

Do you remember if it had a motorcycle size/type numberplate or a Union Jack?
Howard, I have cropped the above photo to show the registration plate more clearly. If you want a copy of the high res image let me know. This skidoo is still in service(or was as of july 2010) with the MOD/RM/Army.

Howard,
This is officially designated - 'Oversnow Reconnaissance Vehicle, Centre Track Drive, Ski-steer, Supacat
Snow Scooter'
Supacat must have modified it to a UK spec rather than built it. I took this photo of ST 07 AA last year.
