Only thing that makes me sad is the fact, so have I. The RL were still in use at CTC RM when I joined up and my dad used to buy ex army stock for lime speading in fields in 50's & 60's..... can't remember to go to the loo these day's, but remember this:biggrin:

Most terrifying drive of my life was in an MK with no floor, on an 8ft towbar behind a mog. Never again!

 

And I lost my lunch out the floor
