Yes, I also have some from NI circa 74-76

Hello, I was there with the UNFICYP Force Reserve Sqn, B Sqn 15/19H 76-77 based in Nicosia and with A Sqn 15/19H at Dhekelia in 85-86, served on Ferrets both times.

Happy birthday mate, hope you have a good day.

Do you have the history of this vehicle, the number rings a bell.

I can remember hear this kind of banging noise before, after a fluid flywheel repair the REME fitter from the Brigade FRT had put 2 wahers on the fill plug for some daft reason.

Can be refilled, only done in sealed and controlled enviroment

Alien, thats the secret of knowing somebody for as long as I've known you.:cool2:

When D Sqn QOY had Fox, my oldest son was only a nipper he used to come with me on a w/e, he was very useful for getting under the vehs and lubricating the suspension units.

if it ain't leaking its really broke.:cool2:

Alien, brings back good memories, or what.

I assume you are refering to the PzKpFw IV ??

Alien, same here mate, re batt boxes.

They would be perfect, when I was a CQMS 2 years ago the DLI Association used some of ours for the same sort of thing.

Main reason we don't use them is the weight, they are much heavier then the modern ones that the Cadets have to carry and use.

W have some at our Cadet Unit, however on exercise we either stay in Stone Tents (Buildings) for our Junior Cadets and our senior Cadets just build Basha's. For more formal "Camping" such as Duke Of Edinburgh Awards ExPeds lightweight 2 man tents are used.

When I went to Batus in 81 I remember actually calling down a real fire mission, this was a battery shoot of Abbots. Up till then as per normal recce I had done tons of pretendy ones, but actually calling in and controlling a real one was fantastic.

Hello Keith and welcome

Wonder what happened to it?

I came across afew oddities the x2 I was there, they were called locals.

Talking about gateguards, is the Comet still outside Lulworth Camp?

I can't recall any one talking about Fox being there, only CVRT Scimitar for Recce.
