That was a bit of a cheek, I'll get my own back.

Baz.

Go on tell me as it seems I'm the only one interested.

BAZ.

can't make out the markings very well, Israeli?

Baz.

Could it be trialling/testing the Russian Sagger?

the 7.62x39 Soviet was adapted from the 7.92x39 Kurz which was designed for the German Sturmgeschutze of WW2, in fact a lot of the AK47 was taken from this weapon.

Hello All,

I'm collecting info on the 11th Armoured Division. what I'm after is a list of the Numbers displayed on the front/rear of vehs within the Division. I've only been able to find out the main ones ie Armoured Regts and Inf Batts what i'm after are the ones for the support troops

such as RMP RA RAMC RASC Armoured Replacement Sqn. I've read a number of books, contacted Bovvy and can't get the support Nos. any help would be appreciated.

Baz.

Very nice tour, would like to spend a couple of days doing the same route. Nice part of the world, I used to spend time visiting when I was serving in Germany.

Baz.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

SORRY I'M LATE, DAY OFF, LIE IN, SHOPPING THEN LUNCH.

BAZ.

I've got access to INERT, DRILL AND BLANK for ammo and I do believe I'm right.

Baz.

Russia uses 2 types of 7.62 rounds. rimless 7.62 x 39 for the AK47 range and the belt fed MGs such as the MKT/PKM etc use a rimmed 7.62 x 54R (R = Rimmed), none of these rounds are compatible with NATO as NATO are classified as 7.62x51mm.

Baz.

Thanks, it certainly does.

Baz.

I can remember painting over the red nuts on the split rims, I can also remember painting the filler caps on the Ferret petrol tanks to signify the fuel type when we started to get diesel engined VHS. The red we used was pillerbox red.

Baz.

Alien,

the MK5 has a bin on each side of the hull that lies under the turret launchers which contain 1 spare missile, ie 2 per veh.

Baz.

CVR(T) had a blackout switch which turned off all the lights, this was initially fitted to turn off all the "white" lights and turn on the IR headlights, if I remember correctly.

Baz.

No problems mate, let me have your address and you can have the SLR cleaning kit pro gratis, as it's no use to me anymore, you can get a good airsoft SLR as they have just come on the market, and http://www.relics.org do oe in wood with the wood or plastic furniture.

Baz.

Sorry for the poor condition, the paper the manuals are printed on is very thin and dark coloured and I can't scan very well, any tips to improve are welcome.

Pat Ware's Ferret book has some good pictures in it.

Baz.

I've got some from the Tactics Wing at Bovington, I'll dig them out for you.

Baz.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, is this problem the reason that the Red Cross was removed from first aid boxes and replaced with the current one, as being a ex Medic we were told to remove our red crosses from out boxes containing kit.

Baz.

Talking about serving soldiers, why wasn't 2Lt Wales taking part in a service with his regiment.

Baz.

I was honoured this year, I was asked by rep of my local RBL if I would step in as Standard Bearer this year, obviously seen as a compliment I duly obliged.

Baz.

TCV's were generally the large covered trucks.
