Crusty Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This thread is a short AAR of a visit to Tidworth for three members of Uk Armour, kindly arranged by CR2_Commander. Firstly we had a good climb over and in this lovely CR2, and Hedge looks like he could get used to being a cab rat, and it looks like my car is about to get the good news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Retro Posted February 19, 2013 Members Share Posted February 19, 2013 I take it you made thousands of photographs and hours of video footage? Maybe a couple internal measurements as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) We also had a bit of a play in the Simulators, First the PTT, which I think stands for PART TASK TRAINER, then there's the PGTE, which stands for PRECISION GUNNERY TRAINING EQUIPMENT, both were great fun to have a play with.

Hedgehog Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Not on this particular occasion. We did have a go at turning the turret round!! Slow, slow, slow, too fast :biggrin: They were in some need of TLC.... I found a couple of bits of brass and a Twix wrapper in that driver's hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggydog Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I just thought I would resurrect this post as there has been a bit of interest on another post about internal pics of a CR2 Might be of interest to some 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggydog Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It's only been 6 years. (besides the more we mention the CR2, the more the subliminal thoughts will get into Ssnakes head that the model in SB needs finishing) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR2_Commander Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It doesn't seem that long ago! I have hung up my tank coveralls. I'm part of 3 (Civ) Div now. Still have a hand inside defence at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MoD spend millions upgrading some of them. So yep your probably right they will scrap them. LoL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
