| Message | A massive 70 ton hello to all those 'tankies' who remember me. Looking through the pictures gave me wonderful flashbacks of a youth gone by and God we all looked so young back in the 80s and 90s! I'm still in contact with my good friend Chris Smith (B Sqn and RECCE Troop), who also enjoyed the photos. I still have professional links with the RAC, often attending meetings at Bovington and Abbey Wood in Filton with the Armoured Vehicle Programme. But to this day, the sounds and smell of tanks still makes the hair on the back of my head stand on end - wonderful and wouldn't change a thing. All the best and thank you for the memories. |

| Message | My father died 04 Jul 2014, Hemet, California USA. Neil D. Allen 24174328 Known to some as DOOMBRAIN, was always reminessing about his times with 3RTR. For all his grumbling, he loved and missed it. Would love to hear others stories about him and his unit. Kindest regards Claire |
