We did some work for them on Sailsbury Plain widening a tank crossing and clearing some hawthorn. My boss had a hard time negotiating stuff and working with them, they were just a pain. On Monday, one squaddie rolled a Jeep by hitting a pothole on the tank track right where we were working, the same tank track I drove over 2 hours earlier in a Pug 306. Here he his looking proud of himself.

The funniest/most concerning thing was the resulting rescue operation, and the sheer length it took. The day after the Jeep rolled, some huge 6-wheeled vehicle used to carry folding bridges came along to tow the jeep away, but that broke down...They couldn't fix it, so 2 days after that, another 6-wheeler came along to tow both vehicles away. By then it was thursday.

 

Personally, I hate working for kids playing soldiers.

 

Where abouts was that picture? My other company does work down that way at Tidworth and bulford camps. Can be a nightmare if you get stuck behind a convoy heading north towards the M4 adds a good hour onto the journey home.
