fv1609 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I was recently on the RAOC forum & a poster stated that in 1970 the ex-RUC Pigs were given Army registrations & served until circa 1974 then passed to Longmoor Camp, Hampshire as training aids. I pointed out that they were registered in the sequence 27 BT 89 - 27 BT 98 and struck off at regular intervals from 1980-94. The poster was very certain that he was correct. As most of the ex-RUC Pigs were re-bodied & up-armoured, it occurs to me that it may be the outer carcasses that ended up at Longmoor. I just wonder if anyone has any photos of such wrecks they could share to confirm the fate of these bodies? Even a partial shot or a piece of armour may be identifiable as there were 57 differences between an ex-RUC FV1609 & an Army Mk 1 FV1611.
