Dave

BARV

Well I can see

M578 ARV
Tracked Rapier - REME???
BRDM-2 (couple of them)
BTR-60 (might be a PU)
Cheiftain ARV (think)
Sherman ARV (M74?)
Armoured car too far away to see properly

The lorry in the centre looks like a Bedford of some sort, and there might be a Thorneycroft Hathi just visible.

David ----- good .......near .....6 + ?...Hathi???-------I smell prior knowledge!!!!!!
James ....sorry no figuers on them ......confusing you ..eh?
Dust is due to new sports area being built at rear of pic ------come on you guys......where's all the experts gone :-) :-) :-)
aye

BTR 60 and 70...I think. In fact. is that two BTR-70s?
Chieftan
Looks to be an 880 recovery vehicle on the far right of the BTRs

That's it for me.

I think the armoured car is a staghound and there is an austin Truck ww2 and the closer truck is the one that arfix did in 1/32 a Bedford I think also that is a radio shelter in the forground

No staghound -------think this is a bit hard for you guys -----research is the life blood of the game ------take the challenge------ :-) :-)
Bedford is ok----there are at least 14/15 vehicles to be recognized...................
aye
BARV

Doh.... I need to get my eyes rechecked.. .

Hathi - there was an article in MM (maybe) in the days when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

Give you that one David :-) .........was restored few years ago ----was in main hall (Arborfield )--ousted by VW BEETLE....know the story???
aye
BARV

IIRC a REME officer restarted the production line at VW just after the war. The plant was offered to the British government who, in a fit of sheer genius, turned it down. After all the Morris Minor makes a much better noise than a Beetle

I think REME also built a few Panthers and Jagdpanthers including the Panther that turned up in a scrapyard in the 70s.

Spotty-dogs---smack on..............some of the bits in pic were probably driven by dino's............. :-)
Hathi was rebuilt not that long ago--oops given that away :-) ..lost its place in "main"hall at Arborfield to a..Mk1 "beetle"
aye
BARV

No-one up for the fun of it
aye
