  8. Glad Ian has sorted it for you and your now smiling... Ian is a top bloke and MMI is proof of his good and hard work! What we need to understand is that Ian puts lots of time and effort in to the mag and may not always be able to reply quickly... But I'm sure if it was a life or death matter he would....

No on checking NLBA on was 08EB10 Vickers Abbot FV433 Military Reg No 08 EB 10 This particular Abbot was manufactured and came into serviceon the 24th of April 1967. It was held in storage until the 14th of June 1967,when it went to 19 Field Regiment, Royal Artillery in German, where it serveduntil may the 8th 1970. It was then reclassified from class 1 to class 2 on amileage assessment. On February the 5th 1972 it went to 19 Field Regiment, RoyalArtillery, Rear Party. It served with them until it returned to 17 Base RepairDepot, Germany, on the 25th of June 1973. On February 19, 1974 it went to 2 Field Regiment, RearParty, Germany.
  18. Hi tony, spoken to Dhekelia workshops, they can confirm its Military Training Wing... But history is still restricted for some reason restricting their access to the file... So now where's the story for the news letter?

  20. Knotty do me the story you promised and ill ask the boys at Dhekelia workshops for you.... But only when I get the story.... Lol
  21. surly advising someone to put their finger over anything that produces pressure is risky to say the least, poisoning can be caused by doing so, even with as a little as 5 psi it can cause the liquid to penetrate through the skin, causing at least dermatitis or at worst gangrene..
