THE rectangular boxes you describe sound like the left and right antenna assemblies for the EECM EQUIPMENT also fitted to DROPS

that is correct !

same sort of stuff they used in NI. but updated (obviously)

We use to send a CR2 from the Sqn to the I of W every year for a week, it was part of some big show, im unable to remember the name of it. the guys that when always said they had a good time. Also have no idea if its related to jack Pritchard ex CO of 4RTR, being involved in setting it up ?

I found this and it made me chuckle..

Hope you have a Chinese Eye on there lol ...

In 1918 a Mr Eu Yew Tong Sen OBE, the Chinese member of the Council of Malaya, made a personal gift to the British Government of sufficient money to purchase a MK V tank. His only stipulation was that it should have eyes. “No got eyes, how can see?” Superstitious claims that the eye could ward off evil may also have prompted his suggestion. The tank “purchased” by Mr Eu, issued to D Bn Tank Corps, duly had eyes painted on it. The tradition was born, and thereafter all 4 RTR AFVs, and those of the amalgamated 1 RTR, are adorned with Chinese eyes..

Brings a tear to my eye to see this lol, spent a great deal of time working and sleeping on and in one plus lots of scuffed knuckles repairing. :cheesy:
