Mystery Object No.25


Recommended Posts

Is it an OPFOR vehicle for use at BATUS?

 

 

Yup something like that well done. No doubt operated by the Fantasians! I put it here really as a clue to Mystery Object No.24 to see if it would trigger any thoughts, but it seems not.

A bit like a CVR(T) Sturgeon, then?

 

As an aside, can anyone tell me how this CVR(T) derivative got its name?

There were some FV432/30s at Withams with that strange grey/green colour scheme. Was it primarily used at BATUS or elsewhere? Also, did all the Milan Compact Turret Spartans end up at BATUS too? I've seen a photo of loads of them lined up at Ashchurch or Ludgershall in the early 90s but I've only seen a couple in private hands or museums.

Chris I've not seen any of them outside depots. On that Ludgershall visit there were two plain white Spartans & two yellow ones, all in good condition. So I don't know it they were rangemasters or adjudicators but seems a bit elaborate for those roles.

Clive,

There are a few of them in amongst the Scorpions in this photo. I guess this was 1993/4 or so, due to the Foxes, Scorpions and Ferrets all parked up? Any idea where this was taken?
