robin craig Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 There have been a whole series of episodes of about 14 minutes a piece covering the exercise from end to end. There is so much footage of MVs and kit and uniforms it will make a number of people very happy. There are some interesting anomalies in kit and vehicles fitment etc etc. Makes for good rainy day or sick day watching. An absolute must for anyone trying to portray a 1980s era British MV on exercise. Im not good at all the technical thingys, so here is the link, perhaps a moderator will tidy it up.

Tiffy_massive Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I remember Lionheart well. Bad few weeks prancing around Northern Germany hiding in woods during the day and fixing vehicles at night so that they were ready for action again in the morning. I was with an Artillery Regt at the time working on M107 SP guns but ended up helping out Cheiftain units a couple of times as we had worked on them before. Happy days.
