For restauration, okay. But it's still a sad journey 😢. Best regards, Your friend Gerald

Lovely photographs, enjoyed seeing them. Thank you.

An uninspiring set of photos. Where are the vehicles.

Wot! No 1945 Monitor, no CO2 Gas Truck, no Mk5 or 5A and no Mk6? Not to mention the Bedford Water bowser and trailer pump.

To the RAF thank you for your service,support,sacrifice at all times.

By coincidence of seeing the planes being broken up, i worked with an RAF technician who had been working on their development for years and he watched the contractors come in and smash that work up. All that work for bugger all because they decided to go with the Boeing P-8A. Our government sure know how to 'waste' money.

Great Modelling Work...Looks Incredible...

Myself & my pal Sam Smith at 56 seconds behind the Tornado taken at RAF Kinloss or Stornaway '91 or '92 👍

.....amazing to think that you've not shown a volleyball court, porn clips or anyone wearing a green 'village people' vest. Not the RAF that I remember 😅

Thanks for all your views.

It was a great job. Sorry I left when I did.

Was the wrecked MK 9 near the end the one from Wittering that pulled out onto the A1 and got side swiped by a truck ?

Could easily get a ton out of the TACR 2 on road test down the A34 when I was at RAF Abingdon 🤣

I’m currently restoring the TACR2 in the first picture

Just showed my Dad this, he's ex RAF Fireman, Barrie Trueman. He asked where the photo was taken were there in khaki shirts and shorts? Many thanks.

In my day Mk5 mk5a, Mk6 7 ,,8,, drove Mk6 for ten years

Awesome!... we had one of these at a local fire station... thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿

Bloody music sound track

Cheers Walt one or two of my pics appeared in this collection

WOW lots of faces from the past. I served 78 to 90 and enjoyed most of it.

All these models wear part of the RAF Gibraltar units at one point or another,very fast on the runway,good old days.

Thanks for all the memories... I worked with a lot of the vehicles here ... And the Proto BA .. I do look back with a tear ... At 58 you are blessed with hindsight and now wished I'd stayed in to try for 22

What's the story on the burnt out crash truck?

2:36 OP FRESCO West Midlands detachment. Provided cover during the National fire strikes of 2001-2002. This photo was taken behind a hanger at RAF Cosford prior to the crews deploying to their temporary fire stations from across the West Midlands.
