Green day out -england

[m880 unimog]

WELL HERE,S A FEW SNAPS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POND, uh, and being semi polite , i shall now stop shouting.

we went up to whitham and enjoyed a sunny fresh day at the tender viewing day , this was the best lot i,ve seen come out in one lump for a while now-

the mod [ MINISTRY OF DEFENCE ] here in england seem to be selling off all the army,s kit and replacing some of it with useful tools that will assist our fine service personel , but there,s far too much that will never be replaced- fekkin accountants -but less of my opinions and more of the pictures-

we have, in no particular order and from memory..

FODEN DROPS-my all time favourite cab over beasty truck...
SCAMMELL DROPS-the whole fleet is coming out and being replaced by german made MAN,s

At least two of the MJ's are left hand drive....
I have wanted one of those since I was a youngling (and that was a while ago!).

Thanks for posting these. Seems your bean-counters are bound and determined to sell off your entire military. Rather like when old Duncan Sandys tried to get rid of most of the RAF.

Cheers
