And the gate guardian hasn't got an engine.

I did an AMF exercise years ago on Otterburn. Out in the ulu one day in my solitary Rover, and over the brow of one of the bare-arsed hills came a German column. It was just like something out of a WW2 movie, with the commanders out of the tops of their vehicles, German pennants on the antennas. I thought it better to pull over, have a fag and let them by.

But if an engine was put into both gate guardians it could be confusing.

Those gate guardians are long-gone now, along with the Churchill that stood just inside the gate. Now replaced by a Leopard 1 (which used to be inside the gate) and a Chieftain (from Pembroke Dock).

The Boxheads went in '95 and haven't been back, but the Cloggies and Belgians are occasional visitors.

If they decide to drive to London and complete EU unification, what would a contingency plan look like?
SPTA based armoured units deploying and blocking the M4 and A40?

Just post some Pikeys to the mobility corridors and avenues of advance.

They'll have them stripped before the Panzer Fuhrer can shout "Achtung".
