woa2 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I spotted these vehicles on Southampton Docks last week. Anyone know what the Desert painted trucks are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The bottom picture is of a Tracked Rapier missile launcher, I think. As regards to the other two I'm not sure, something more modern though and perhaps new into service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 They look like Mastiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I think they are Mastiffs, is the Theatre kit ie the spaced bar armour etc fitted over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Indeed, Mastiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Burley Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It is infact a Cougar. By the looks of it they have just come in from the states. Mastiff is the British designation for it once it has been added with the added armour over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schliesser92 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I think it's still known as COUGAR over here - if it's going to be a GS truck version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Bar armour is usually fitted here, but as late as possible as they're no longer road legal when it's fitted! The bottom pic is definitely Tracked Rapier. Not sure what it'd be doing at the docks, they were out of service ages back... Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
