Armoured farmers at their best. Are you RE guys aware of the Facebook pages? Sapperfest 2015 is a must for catching up with old friends and making new.
I don't. But then I tend to remember why my knees ache, why my back is going, why my toes hurt in cold weather and how and why I got the scar over my eye.

4:58 No, Browning .30". This was a period of flux for British AFV mgs. The Centurion, Saracen, Saladin, Ferret etc were all from the Browning era. The Centurion was L7 7.62mm GPMG era but early versions also had a Browning .50" ranging mg as well as coaxial and cupola GPMGs. Meanwile the cupola weapon for FV 433 Abbott was still the L4 LMG (the Bren re-chambered for 7.62mm). Supply chain nightmare I would imagine!
Fantastic ! Cant remember so much greenery. We were always scraping tons of Soltau mud off the bridge.
Good memories of exercises in BFG. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers for that Stevey. .Bought back some very fond memories.
I'm sure I was a gunner on one of the avres in this film
