recymech66 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Spotted this uparmoured MAN wrecker today in a Rastplatz on the A7 just north of Kassel (Germany) I didn't have my camera unfortunately so have had to steal this pic off another site. Wish I knew what Army it's destined for as it has some obvious differences to our SVR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosie Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Not spotted but heard and felt! Some sort of jet plane has just gone overhead coming from the South (from across the sea) straight over the top of our place heading north, It must have been going about a million mph and it felt and sounded like it was about 20 ft high up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sean N Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 ... If that were the case here maybe someone would have been able to afford to run her in this country... I'd have loved to have run it, at least now and again, but sadly I couldn't afford to buy it... Red Arrows today over Swanage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markheliops Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I attempted to strike up a conversation but they weren't that chatty. All I got when I asked where they were going was "were starting a war" something like that! Must be business users and not collectors. Comments like that don't help the hobby at all, I always take time to speak to anyone who asks, even give out a leaflet about our group etc Gary Hi all. Was speaking to the group concerned in the above comments - To put the record straight these chaps and vehicles were off to do something of which they were sworn to secrecy and not allowed to discuss - with anyone. It wasn't a case of being rude - just not allowed to talk about what they were doing. They were probably caught off guard and wasn't expecting to be questioned as to what they were doing.

LoggyDriver Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yesterday I spotted a truck carrying about 5 bedford MJ's all stacked one on top of the other. No wheels were on the trucks and they never had any bodys on. Hope they aren't going to the scrappy???:shocked: Today spotted a tank of sorts with a stumpy barrel, didn't get a good look at it as another truck was overtaking at the time. About the size of a Chief. Would the barrel be some sort of bunker buster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
