robin craig Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) I am fortunate that I am tenacious and have an investigative and inquisitive mind and a can do attitude. I have since acquisition of our Stormer TRV (Troop Recce Vehicle) 87 KJ 70, made a connection with someone in the know who will remain silent and anonymous for the time being. Please bear in mind the registration number of our vehicle as it is interesting. I have been provided pictures of the family of vehicles in various states of usage. There is no permission for others to use these pictures anywhere else. These pictures show 87 KJ 60 in service, the last two are at BATUS here in Canada. Of interest to those with "eagle eyes" is the difference in the track. R Edited January 17, 2011 by robin craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Next up are some pictures of 87 KJ 70, which is our vehicle. The first is at a change of command parade, think it may be at Manorbier in Wales, which is the only UK range that they get fired at. The other two show ours on Ex Saif Saree in Oman in 2001 Anyone notice anything so far? R Edited January 17, 2011 by robin craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 To get an idea of just how many Stormers were in service take a look at this line up in Sennelager, Germany. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Here are a few more pictures of Stormers, mostly at BATUS. Of note there is a standing order that prohibits the placement of the tent on the exhaust side of the vehicle. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 So, for those "eagle eyed" ones you will have noticed I called ours a TRV yet the in service pictures show it as a Fire Unit. That is because the went through a rebuild and the firing post was removed to supply parts for other vehicles, which is why it was re roled to a TRV. This is genuine and not a Walt vehicle. Here is as she is now with us. we have yet to do much with her, other projects are higher on the list right now. No it is not me in the pictures R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recymech66 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ahh Manorbier, that brings back some memories. On another note I know a few REME types who were on Saif Sareea with that unit. I will have to look through my BATUS photos and see if I have any of the HVM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
