The UN white scimitars that appeared for sale in the U.K. were last used on OPERATION RESTORE HOPE in SOMALIA. My one 65260 had graffiti about Somalia scratched into the paint.

I got to see the vehicle history card for my Scorpion today.
It started of at Lugershall in 1973
3/1/74 14/20 Hussars
28/4/76 1st Royal Tank Regiment
30/7/77 Queens Dragoon Guards
17/6/80 9/12 Lancers
17/11/81 Conversion from 0860.7400 to 0860.7450
5/3/82 ODA (special forces detachment alpha)
2/11/82 2 ADS (???)
2/10/82 16/5 Lancers
9/11/82 conversion from 0860.7450 to 0860.8450
21/11/86 13/18 Hussars
10/2/93 returns to Luggershall
Anyone know what ADS might be?
The chronology seems to go a bit awry in 82!
I might see if anyone has any pics on ARRSE...
Hi Richard,
My Sabre 04FD01 also started its service life with 14/20 hussars at wulfenbuttel in 1973, spooky that they're both in Dorset now. I'll dig out the rest of it's history to see if they have anything else in common,
I think you'll find that 2 A.D.S. stands for armoured delivery squadron.
All the best Andy

I can vouch for the quality of Jons work, the L37A1 he produced was for me to go in my Scimitar. I have since shown it to the London proof master , who said it was too good a copy but cannot be considered a firearm {praise indeed}. I am about to get Jon to build me an L43A1 for my Scorpion.
