Vehicle Records

Hi there

 

Trying to find out service history of a Spartan on an AT plate. Was told by Bovington that it was probably a RAF vehicle and to try Hendon, but they've got no record of it either - any other thoughts much appreciated !

 

Cheers

Hi Tim,

My Spartan is 48 AT 14. What's yours? I have lots of photos of RAF Spartans so may have one that'll interest you. I did a history search through the EMLRA while I was a member. It bought up the RAF history on the original record card, and also the Army service through the Merlin printout. Chances are your history will be similar, at least for the RAF portion of its life. Mine had a more interesting time with the Army, out in Kosovo and Bosnia.

 

Try these people for the printouts:

 

ES (Land) Cencus Team, Chetwynd Barracks, Chilwell, Nottingham, NG9 5HA.

 

Mine looked like this:
