Just found this You tube film about 28 on excercise / Demonstration near Hameln on the Weser

 

 

Brings back some memories but it was night time back then.

Hi Bryan

 

Thanks for posting the link, watched the entire video lot of interesting vehicles. Some of the camouflage was interesting, the guys who camouflaged there tracked vehicle with net and local grasses showed how to breakup the silhouette of the vehicle and blend into the ground from above. Also like the camouflaged porte-potties they show up at the end when they are breaking camp.

 

As I drive RHD CMPs here in the states got a kick out of all the British vehicles were left hand drive. One of my CMPs came out of French NATO stock with very low mileage in talking with Bart Vanderveen about it he said that a lot of RHD stuff given to the French was not used because of a real or perceived danger of traffic accidents on the Continent.

 

Cheers Phil
