    The K/C markings means Kit Check, plus date. The vehicle CES would have been checked when arriving or leaving the Vehicle Section.

    Many tanks Maurice, I plan to make a model of one of these at some point so every bit of information helps

    Hi All, The 430 were either going to, or coming from, 37 Rhine Base Workshop. They were running the rebuild programme at the time. The 434 was completely burnt out and was pain to move. The Cents were in transit back to the UK and were in the yard awaiting transport. The story behind the gun tank was that it had come from 32 AER in Munsterlager and was to go to the Tank Museum. It got back to Antwerp Docks when someone realised it was actually meant to go to the German Tank Museum - in Munsterlager! Wether this is true or not i've no idea.

    Taken at Antwerp Docks in (I think) 1992. The Antar belonged to Ord Depot Antwerp and must have been the last one in British Army use. It was off census and was parked in a Romney hut on the docks. Seen here unloading a dead Iraqi T55 from a Scammell Commander with a broken winch.

    Thanks - I thought it could be a Martian, but wasn't the Martian classed as CL rather than GS? Thanks for the photo too, that looks like it belongs to a RHA unit.

    I've got a copy of the Vehicle Establishment for an RAOC Corps Ordnance Maint Park from 1958. One of the vehicles listed is a Tractor 10 ton GS Medium Artillery. Can anyone confirm if this is a AEC Militant MK1 M/HAA tractor please? At a guess I assumed once AA Command was disbanded these tractors were used to pull the Maint Park's laundry trailers. If anyone had a photo of one in RAOC service that would be great. Thanks

    Hi, I'm a former RAOC Vehicle Specialist, unfortunately don't own any real vehicles but am in the process of building a collection of model, mainly from the 50s and 60s. Over winter I'm planning to scan in my photo collection and hope to post some on the Forum.
