john fox Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Anyone got any links or pics of CVRT Salamander or can explain what it is, I have a vague recollection it is a CVRT modified to look Soviet (?) - I have just collected a J60 engine backloaded (with a fault :-() from BATUS which is listed as ex 03FD00 CVRT Salamander from Batus and would like to know what it was actually off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) From http://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/CVR(T) BATUS SALAMANDERS and are old SCORPIONS used in the TES phase in BATUS, just like a big game of lazer quest. Programmed to represent a T80 complete with AT 5 capability. Regularly whip the arse of visiting BG. STURGEON is the old SPARTAN MCT also TES ex phase and with capabilities of a BMP 3 Maybe some on the forum has this book & might have some more info... Edited December 23, 2009 by Marmite!!

robin craig Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Dont know anything about the Chevs that were sold off, they didnt interest me one iota, plus they are half way across the country. They were sold through Mitchener Allan in an auction this summer. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R The GMC red top safety trucks were sold off at auction in Calgary, the MoD has purchased a newer model of the GMC vehicles however they've purchased patrol engined models???? go figure. BATUS has already taken delivery of the first batch with more to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
