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.

There's this former TV comedian called Zalensky who would love to get ahold of some of those vehicles.

We love buying weird things at auctions 😂

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

​@@enfield5847cant wait for the next auction haha

It the camo paint You park it near greenery and then you can't see the damn thing 👍

​@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd Imagine camouflageing your tank so well you can't find it. Lol 😂

JOE after being married for 10 years I've learned the misses will never understand. We are a different breed to them.

@@fuoman100 Agreed. It's as if they're a different species or summink?

​@@kevinchamberlain7928Tell me been married to one for 52 years still not worked her out.😱😂

Just stick them on a trailer and get them delivered to your garage without her knowing and youd be sorted 🤣

As far as I can tell you spend 500 hours going right through a military vehicle and then someone buys it and dumps it in a hedge for 20 years. It’s a reliable business model as long as no one parks their buy in a barn :D

Was thinking that. Might need to get myself one.

I shure hope You´re wrong.

Ah you’re not far wrong 💪🏻🇬🇧

Remember them back in Catterick in 76 on HGV driver training, the sound never leaves you head.

I would just like to drive one please .

Bovington tank experience days you get to drive a 432. I think they hire them at other times too.

Been 48 years since I left my tank behind, C22 1/35 Armor stationed in Germany. I miss the old girl. 🥲

My old 'clanky' in Hohne was epic; as was my one in Medicine Hat (Canada)...and I still remember that hill 'Bog Fog'...we slid down most of the way but did NOT hit the only tree for miles at the bottom, which, according to legend, many did! lol

Could be yours again

Wow, that’s incredible! What regiment were you in?

It's crazy how you remember your old vehicles number plate. My Bedford TM was 50GT51.

Tell us more uncle Terry 😁

Oh never mind you said what regiment it was

I was also amazed by the condition! What luck!

Small point, it's a mk1 so it's not a K60, it's a B81. K60, mk2 is diesel. B81, mk1 is petrel.

DaveDave: Diesel engines don't have "spark plugs", they have fuel injectors.

@@skipperclinton1087 Point already made above mate, lol

Elizabeth barracks 1RRF only had MK1's they had a life expectancy of 24hrs so those up top thought it was pointless to give them anything else.

It had a distributor and a carburetor? That’s some interesting diesel engine there, incredible.

minden elizabeth barracks 1989 1993

BATUS Canada in 81 - Alberta?

Two rabbits and a hedgehog!

I was about to ask the same question - looks about the same shape.

Me too, l was wondering what that is next to it, could it be another one of the same vehicles? 🤔

I was wondering the same. A good clean up and you will find more interesting things 👍👍👍

...if you look very closely, you just might spot a B-52...

Welcome to the UK nice to see you.

Across The pond. Laughable

@@bountyhuntermk2520’son’? Your names are not alike.

@@bountyhuntermk2520, whom, Evo?

Wheres pat and Craig?

ALL TURNED IN TO DUST .

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.

we never pulled the finals @BFVgnr

@@toml8142 We never did it like that. The REME would make us remove every bolt from the "muff couplings on the final drive. I can't say for certain any more but I think there were about 20 odd bolts on each side.

​@@toml8142you mean the prop shaft between gearbox and steering box. OK for a short distance, but it's the muff couplings between the steering box and final drives which need removing. The steering box won't be cooled without a running pack.

Yeah but it gave me a chance to fire up the 578 instead of the Mike88 and that darn critter was kinda fun!

It was 2 Queens Aug 1990 - Jan 1991, then 1 Queens until July 1992.

@@richardwilmshurst9005 No, that's incorrect, I was there. I was also in that platoon. I think that may have been my sections vehicle until I became the Plt. signaller. That's call sign 30 We came to Minden in August 1986, but the dates for 1 Queens is correct. 2 Queens went back to RHQ in Canterbury September 1992 The Queens Rgt amalgamated with the Hampshire Rgt and became the Princess of Wales Own Royal Rgt. Colours presented by Princess Diana herself.#after 1 Queens, there were no more infantry units at Clifton Barracks in Minden. It was the end of the cold war and "drawdown", as it was called, was in full swing.

Were the Argylls not the last regiment out of Minden, Elizabeth barracks? ‘93 back to Shorncliff?

@@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.

a heap of junk😅😅😅

@farmersboy I was shocked how it ROLLED off the transport truck.

I think it looks in good nick in general.

1 up, I watch this in rehab.

Thank you sir

Does it identify as a mighty Foden though

It might identify as a BMW Isetta, there´s a joke in here somewhere, I´m too stoned to find it.@@philleeson7835

The swimming pool leaking from the back does mean all the hull plugs are in place. Which is a win.... Sort of.... 😅

We have hundreds that the army gave away years ago to local councils they got fed up after 10 years or so and left them in fields to rust away

I remember these APCs in the early 70's in Lemgo Germany They always looked great and sounded great as well

Blue tarp.

And not a single multicultural propaganda advert in sight True English people having fun love it.

My mistake!

My brother dragged one back from Germany behind a wrecker(scammell pre Foden days) so they had somewhere to hide all their stash on the way home.left a hull in it's place with a note saying thanks for the spares

some 1 stole 1 from the queens in minden in 1992 we had to go looking for it found it in the minden ridge in a ditch near a puff😅😅😅

As a Brit, I must say, it appears so…..who knew? 😂 Well, if we in the UK ever have a ‘farmers uprising’ the way Europe is now, ours will be much more interesting and effective…..God help the government then!

@@johnhughes4147Where did it all come from? Armored vehicles are never (AFAIK) offered as surplus here.

@@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…..

There thinking about selling one of the aircraft carriers we've just bleeding built this government just doesn't if u know what I mean bunch of proper w anchors could organise an ice cream in a dairy palour 😂 videos brilliant even with that amount of water rust and a lack of spark plugs ive every faith in these lads turning that out better than when it had ten miles n ten minutes on it gonna be a good un this these can shift 👏 😂😂😂👍👍

@@johnhughes4147Wish I could have bought one. But where would I drive it? It's cool that they are being brought in and preserved, tho.

Everything is

Be safer yes!

Ok - I obviously posted that before finishing watching..... doh!

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.
