MessageJust had a look in, first time for a while. So many names gone to the green fields, including my old commander and friend Chatty Taylor. I last saw Chatty in about 2009 when i poped into the tank museum on the off chance of seeing him. Had a good chat and had our photo taken.
Dunners and Beasty Sutherland made up the rest of the crew.

MessageGents, does anyone recall an incident that took place on Soltau on April 1st 1966 where a 23 year old name of Terence Garbett was involved in a fatal accident. My understanding is he was one of 3 victims, that it occurred in Germany on a blind bend/level crossing and involved a scout car. Sketchy, I know but I'm asking on behalf of his son Terry, who at the time was just 6 months old. I'd love to pass on info from anyone with anecdotes or personal memories of the time or Terry. This thread began because a friend from my Rugby Club (the six month old kid) saw a photo from my Catterick intake on Facebook. Thanks in advance.

MessageA 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.
