1 place I always wanted to go to but never managed in 24yrs. I arrived at Maidstone in 94 just as the Sqn returned from a 6 monther down there.
But can't complain, got to visit a few nicer places 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

I was in NI when the war kicked off, and never managed to get a posting out there afterwards.
I would have loved to have had a cabby in one of these though....... Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond..... |

The 101 has a F.I. registration number as well so not (any longer) a Military vehicle.
There were a good few ex-military vehicles knocking about. The one I have to admit having a sneaky hankering for (disloyal, I know) was an ex-Argie Unimog that was still knocking about for a while until one of the Sqns shipped it home. |

This was the mid 90’s and it had been out of military service a good while! There were also a few G Wagens knocking about postwar that were used as sqn vehicles but they fell out of use when Mercedes refused to supply spares for them! Also on mount pleasant were a few argentine aircraft remains, we used a Huey fuselage to practice battle damage repairs when on exercise! Literally my chief walked up to it and stuck a hammer through the side of it and said ‘repair that’ 2003 Defender 110 TD5 SW
