TAKON Chieftain MK11 , Last Hurrah at BATUS 1993

[PanzerWomble]

Final Medicine Man exercise using Chieftain took place in 1993 , after that a lot of the old Chieftains became hard targets as Challenger took over.

Suffield's just down the road from you I believe Martin ? Although I think we've cleared most of the armour out last year.

It´s easier to sign up for that Martin, you not only get around the fine, but you also don´t need to wash the car afterwards and also no tank running over your bonnet, when you stuck into the mud.

Yes, indeed. but where is the fun in that!

Salisbury Plain Training Area SPTA , near me , has lots of rough roads open to traffic provided the red training flags are not up .

You do need a GPS though as there are lots of tracks not open, and straying off the road is a serious no no , as is camping in the area, as most of the training takes place at night.

There is an old hard target area , and"German Village" a FIBUA base , if ya like that sort of stuff
