First of all,my sincere apologies to our 'Colonial' friends....  ,but this is aimed primarily at UK brethren,local to where I live,or guys who don't mind travelling. I have managed to arrange a visit to a collection of vehicles owned by the R.E.M.E Corps Museum,that are stored in Bordon,currently.Some of you guys already know about this....but I have 6 spaces available to visit here on the 17th March,at 0900 hrs.Anyone interested,please post here,and PM me for more details,if required. For anyone who doesn't know where Rough Engineering is Made Easy,  ,this is in Hampshire(The original one!),about 20 mins west of Aldershot. PS... the visit itself is free,but there may be an opportunity to donate to the upkeep of these vehicles,if you so wish! |

Don't worry Todd.....the guys who already know about this are all MSC members,so you may well have more pics than you'll know what to do with.(That's if Dutchy brings his camera!!((LOL)).)

One LAST call,to see if anyone would like a free visit,to the Historic vehicle collection,part of the REME Corps museum,housed in Bordon,Hampshire.This is a FREE visit,and a few of our members are allready signed up.This collection is not normally open to the public,so I believe a unique opportunity,to see some classic recovery equipment....and MAYBE some modern stuff!!!!!

man that is very cool. I would have loved to climb over and in some of those especially the Russian and M32.
Did they search CB on his way out......Surprised he didn't try to drive one of those out of there....lol
Hoping to make to the AMPS Nats early enough to climb on some armor myself. Thanks for posting these up jackwagon.

Can anyone identify this wreck above....We have ideas...  A Shortland L/Rover,used by the RUC.... A rather nice selection os Scammells,of various types...all runners as far as I know..  The Centurion MkII ARV  Then I saw some 'Dodgy Geezer' thinking 'I could do with one of these,will it go in me pocket,D'ya think?'  Then he obviously thought Nah!!!!,I'll try this instead...  The most prized vehicle in the collection... ;D ;D ;D |
