Me and the team take a trip down to Dorset, where we find a FV432 APC hidden away amongst the bushes. We take it back to the yard and attempt to start it...

Youd be surprised to hear that yes, there was. as the MOD were drawing down after the cold war and lots of the stock of cheiftains, saladins, 432s, scorpions and other vehicles were being put into mothballs, they decided to basically hold a massive sale to recoup some of the cost on these vehicles. ive heard that a cheiftain went for as low as 500 pound at auction. its insane the ammount of stuff they auctioned off, landrovers, tanks, scout cars, APCs. all of it

Its because the MOD are cheap. Its cheaper to ask a farmer to “temporarily” store a vehicle fir you while it awaits disposal and then conveniently forget about it than it is to dispose of the vehicle. Additionally when they can get away with it they sell vehicles for dirt cheap through DESA because again it’s cheaper and so farmers who want them can get them and they’re cheap enough to be an impulse buy.

Only time during the 70's and 80's I came across or saw a mk1 FV432 was when issued to me as our fitter section vehicle in BATUS Canada in 81, fortunately the issued FV434 had a diesel engine fitted. As we were about the 5th battlegroup of the year the bloody thing was clapped out and barely moved without stalling. After a new distributor didn't improve anything we had a right battle getting a new carburettor authorised but that turned out to be the real issue that solved it. I recall out in the dark of the night in BATUS when worked hard, being petrol, the complete exhaust pipe would glow cherry red, about as far removed from a minimum heat signature as you could want. Like a lot of others have said, I'd love to have a drive of one again 45yrs on (diesel obviously), the sound is iconic to those of us from that era.

On a 432 you need to remove the prop shaft from between the gear box and final drive and that is awkward, if doing a short run you can pull one end er the shaft and tie it back to stop it re-engaging. most ‘modern’ vehicles you only need to pull the quill shaft.

I wonder if that's one of the MK 1 432 from Minden Germany. As I noticed, on the left side, some yellow stencilling that said QUEENS. The last regiment in Minden was The Queens RGT. Although I don;t remember ever seeing any of our vehicles with QUEENS stencilled on them. There are some indications. 1 is the yellow call-sign stencilling, Triangle meaning A company. The 32 meaning 3rd platoon 2nd vehicle. Then there's the stowage bins. Mk1 normally never had them. But by mistake, we demanded them and got them. Once it was realised that we had Mk1 and we shouldn't have them. It was too late. Because the bosses had already welded on and the bins were fitted. The L37 Turret only takes a 7.62mm GPMG. The seat (foldable) appears to be missing from the turret. Unless it's been taken off and sitting somewhere in the vehicle?

@@MrProplayer1 I didn't say that they weren't. I said the Queens were the last at Clifton. But yes that's true, Sir John Moore barracks. I remember that particurlarly. That was becuase it was a surprise to me. Shorncliff was were I did my training. It was once IJLB - Infantry Junior Leader Batallion. There another last there too. I finished in 1985 and was the last full Junior leader intake. After that some regiments moved their junior leader intake to their own depots. Same with junior soldier intke. The rest were a conglomeration of both and it was renamed to JIB - Junior Infantry Batallion. so then I realised that not only were multiple regiments and barracks being disbanded, reformed or amalgamated. Barracks being closed or reproposed. But the concept of training under 18s was gone too. Although, to be fair, Junior leaders were slated to be disbanded in the earleir 80's. But during the Flaklands war, they realised that junior leaders were an asset. So they kept it going. I digress. But going back to Minden. Elizabeth barracks is still there, but no longer military. It's repurposed for civilian businesses etc. (as were a lot of the barracks, post cold war) There's even an Aldi supermarket in Elizabeth now. Clifton was turned into a refugee camp. But was later demolished.

What a find! I'd have days, weeks, months of fiddling around, putting it in top form! In 1957, in the mountains around Baguio, Luzon, Philippines, I found an old US Sherman tank out in the bushes/jungle. Was complete, main gun, .30 machine gun - and the corpses (uniformed skeletons) inside. We were vacationing on a USAF base, R & R place - I reported it to the Air Police who refused ti believe a 12-y.o. kid. Told my Dad, a Navy LCDR, who read the riot act to the AP's. Next day I showed a whole crowd of people! The three men had been MIA since early 1945 - bet their families were glad to finally know what happened to their sons, brothers, fathers, etc. Best as I know, they were returned to the States and properly buried. Thet would not let me keep any souvenirs!

I operated in the diesel variant in Germany and the Petrol one in Canada, the turret took a 7.62mm L37 machine Gun, not a 30mm or 40mm

Great find! What always amazes me is how much scrap and rubbish is lying around or standing in the landscape. It's worth starting a scrap business! What is no longer needed simply remains in nature. Looks really chaotic in the videos.

Most of that "scrap" is still useful and valuable. Of course if taken care off it would be more valuable but even if this had no replacement engine i would buy it for a grand, even if i would need to replace the engine with something else since tracked vehicles generally are not cheap. SOOOO much useful stuff gets thrown away into scrap bin and destroyed its not even funny but tragic. For instance one fellow whos bin i often go look threw 3 working welders and brand new packs on welding electrodes and cutting disks... why? I have no fucking idea but those found their new home rather fast. 7 ton excavator tracks from with one had snapped from one side, took them with permission since i'm building tracked vehicle to do some forestry in places that wheeled vehicle has trouble getting, well as some snow pushing on winter.

@@rocksnot952 as soon as a specific type is taken out of service, the MOD auctions them off… any fixed weapons like the tank guns/ cannons etc are deactivated (gas axed to hell and back), then they are sold to the highest bidder…. You were able to buy a lot of gear when they scrapped a lot of the Afghan and Iraq specific vehicles, and in the 80’s and 90’s there was a lot of old armoured vehicles going for next to nothing…..

I was with the 1/15 mechanized Infantry in Kitzingen, Germany from 80-82 as a Medic (The same unit Audie Murphy was in when he received the Congressional Medal of Honor) The first vehicle I was assigned was an M113A1 APC. Funny how you guys put the drivers hatch on the wrong side. I thought you only did that with your cars!
