A189 , a good few years ago - I cruised past a convoy (Dutch I think) , through the Tyne Tunnel , I stalked them as far as far as I could - I was heading -Jesmond. Expecting them to steer west towards Otterburn but they were obviously heading north ? Unforgettable - S1 Minerva types , later Series and Defender ! I don't see anything of MOD interest on A68 at all now. I understood these heavier than TUM were now in air-conditioned storage ? TUL/TUM in main for fuel economy , then better still Wolf XD that they seem to be demobbing. I understand leased Jap. on mission creep into the green fleet, has me puzzled what the Wolf fleet is going to be replaced with , such as radio Clansman then Bowman having been so well integrated !

There is very little air conditioned storage on most MoD bases unless you call the building that we store Jackals and Coyotes in "air conditioned" due to the holes in the roof. Leased Japanese 4x4s are used in the White fleet as general runabouts, not on exercises or operations. As to what will replace TUM, TUL and Wolf, who knows, you can bet your bottom dollar that it won't be the new Defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I noticed this Panther crash on news the other week , obviously they are motoring around - just I don't see them. In fact I don't see Land Rovers , the odd FFR radio relay camping site arrangements (adj. A68) long standing with farmers - now just grazing beast & sheep. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-50054720 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Saw This at a Bus and Coach Auction in Sussex, today. Formerly 66 GT 58 Not bad condition, starts and runs well, all works and most of the tools and kit is still on board. I did have a couple of bids on it, but price went over my available budget. Finally went for £6500 on the hammer, but with buyers premium and VAT to go on top of that. Total cost to it's new owner is about £8500. Hope it's gone to a good home Edited January 25, 2020 by Zero-Five-Two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
