Toolman Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 In the Hudd today! Am I correct in my CVRT stuff, a Scimitar and a Warrior? (pictures from the father in law) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 You are correct although Warrior not CVRT. I was with the AFV Society boys at Tolson Museum last Sat for the David Brown thing - the army had also brought along an MLRS and Chally 2. Talking to the RA guys they had driven the MLRS from the factory through the town centre at 5 in the morning - must have given a few people on their way home after a night out a bit of a shock - 'did I really just see a 28 ton tracked missile launcher drive past !!'...

Toolman Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 I was absolutely gutted that I couldn't make it to the DB Tolson thing last Sat. I was obliged to be on a Stag Do instead. I have tried to find some photos on the net of the event, but with no success. Did you take any and if so can you post them up? :-) I'm sure the examiner website said there was 5 challengers that attended, thought that was quite hard to believe. TankFest this weekend though so I will make up for it By the way, where are the AFV society boys from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sadly only 1 challenger in attendance and that made enough of a mess of the grass..! They drove it back and forwards a few times and demonstrated the speed of the turret traverse and gun elevation - pretty impressive even just going a few yards.. The afv society are based in warwickshire and specialise primarily in cvrt's. They brought along a diesel scimitar, scorpion and a spartan. Final vehicle was the Royal Artillerys MLRS which I have to say was pretty cool... I didn't take any photos - mostly due to crowds.. Good do though - watch out for it next year..
