ARMD ENGRS IN BATTLE

OLD TRG VIDEO FOUND ON THE WEB OF ARMD ENGRS FROM THE ROYAL ENGRS SHOWING HOW THEY WOULD HAVE DONE BUSINESS IF THE RUSSIANS INVADED WEST GERMANY

Fantastic ! Cant remember so much greenery. We were always scraping tons of Soltau mud off the bridge.

Armoured farmers at their best. Are you RE guys aware of the Facebook pages? Sapperfest 2015 is a must for catching up with old friends and making new.

I'm sure I was a gunner on one of the avres in this film

[@DonnyMacG]

I still miss it

[@Ubique2927]

I don't. But then I tend to remember why my knees ache, why my back is going, why my toes hurt in cold weather and how and why I got the scar over my eye.

Sterling...God I remember my dad had one in his pictures from Desert Storm. EDIT - My god were they .303 MG'S on the AVRE Cupola?

[@timwingham8952]

4:58 No, Browning .30". This was a period of flux for British AFV mgs. The Centurion, Saracen, Saladin, Ferret etc were all from the Browning era. The Centurion was L7 7.62mm GPMG era but early versions also had a Browning .50" ranging mg as well as coaxial and cupola GPMGs. Meanwile the cupola weapon for FV 433 Abbott was still the L4 LMG (the Bren re-chambered for 7.62mm). Supply chain nightmare I would imagine!
