TCV'S were mainly used by the Inf Brigades in UK Armd Divs, they were used to transport the Inf from op to op. The Mechanised/Armoured Inf Battalion in the Armoured brigade in the Armoured Div used to move fast with the tanks by passing a lot of resistance, and the Inf Brigade troops were used to clear these pockets, then leap in their TCV's and catch up then start again.

We used to have fun a Ponteland Ranges just outside Newcastle, we had just been issued laser binos/rangefinders and we used to point them at aircraft coming in and out of Newcastle airport which is next to the ranges. This used to upset a lot of people as it made the aircrew think somebody had a missile lock on them. Baz.

Alien, I don't know the date when they changed, but it was when the Danes took over the role of Force Reserve Sqn and they took over the Vehs as well as the roll. The UN took over the vehs and gave them UN regs. Baz.

The helmets are the pre 1980 steel AFV crewman helmet, these are very similar to the WW2 para helmet (no rim) without the harnees, they only have a 1" elastic chinstrap, I've got one in green from the old days in my shed. "For sale" :whistle: Baz.

Some of my colleagues and mates think I've lost a slate or two, spending most of my spare time working with kids, at times it can be 200 plus of the young ones being looked after by 10-12 adults, especially when some mates/friends can't stand looking after 2-3 kids of their own. Baz.

Wear Your Poppy With Pride
Bazz replied to General Mayhem's topic in Battlefields, museums, monuments and memorials.
I know personally both Regular and TA soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, so please remember when you are in your MVs, what their purpose were and think about the people that used to crew them. Baz.
