June the 21st 2008 is The Southampton TA 100 parade through the centre of Southampton. The event will be a parade with TA soldiers from the area marching through the centre of the high street on the Saturday afternoon. They will be dressed in uniforms from the start of the TA to the present day and will hopefully be accompanied by vehicles from the various eras. This is where we come in. If you have a military vehicle or piece of kit that was used by the British Army from 1908 onwards then please get in touch. The parade will go all the way to Mayflower Park where there will be static displays. The local units will have the current regular kit there and if you have tracks there should be some hard standing for the vehicles. There are very few events that i am aware of where you can drive right through the town centre at the busiest shopping time. Hopefully there will be more than one Military band and the PWRR skydiving team will be dropping in to the arena. Please let me know if you are interested. My work email is below as they don't like me spending time on HMVF during the day. Kind regards, Gary gary.hedges@hants.gov.uk

More like sparrow... The cold is not ki :oops:nd!

Naturally you mean kit photo shoot... Its too cold for anything else at this time of year... :whistle:

Correct although the LML or Lightweight Multiple Launcher (now fitted with CIFF) is not fitted to armour. The Starstreak or HVM as it is called (Shorts S14) missile is the generic weapon but there are various launchers. Thales who bought out Shorts have experimented with launchers on Apache and Warrior as well as BV406 and Pinzgauer. I had a Troop of 12 SP Stormer (The armoured version) and am now the BK of 457 Battery in Southampton. We are an LML Battery and regularly fire them at Manobier Range near Tenby or at the Outer Hebredes

Its not Javalin but along the same lines... Javalin is the name of its predecessor but also of the successor of Milan. Do you mean the Anti Tank Javalin or the Close Air Defence Javalin?... Here is the full picture...

Oh yeah... it's not armoured and is still in service! :evil:

OK here is a bit more of it... it has a range of 5.5km!

I have a mystery weapon for you... Well part of to start with...

I am now the Battery Captain... BK I have changed my profile and updated my e-mail... I hope the pictures work this time. Pictures: WMIK a stones throw from the Iranian boarder Door gunners view from a Sea King on the way back from Maysaan with Channel 5 News
