Not that I know of but I'm not walking across a live-firing range to find out!do they still fill them with concrete?

Or Otterburn?Thanks that sounds about right
It's a Matador. It probably still runs.Last time I was there (about 2 years ago), it was along a hedge side and in better condition. Shame to see an old Mat going to rack and ruin.
Good point there fella! Swap the batteries, fresh diesel and she'd probably fire-up....It's a Matador. It probably still runs.
It seems to have moved anyway:I came across this at the S Yorks Aviation Museum:View attachment 514913
Ticks ‘weathered’ box, moves on...
That was quick. I took my licture last Wednesday. Looks like a Bedford with refuelling booms behind.
All men like pictures of Knockers.Not a Matador, actually a Marshall. We still had Mk1 Militants up to 1989 and thoroughly good they were too

Thought it looked familiar, I was 33 Sqn RCT at Birdwood Bunde in 83, and visited Catterick Barracks a few times.36 Squadron RCT vehicle park - Catterick Barracks, Bielefeld 1989.
We certainly knew how to line things up during the Cold War!
I used to live on Am Niederfeld as a kid, the field we played on overlooked the truck parks.36 Squadron RCT (10 Corps Tpt Regt RCT) vehicle park - Catterick Barracks, Bielefeld 1989.

That's right - did you ever go to the Alte Munze?I used to live on Am Niederfeld as a kid, the field we played on overlooked the truck parks.
I remember when all this were Fodens, AECs, Antars, etc.
Also remember (1979-ish?) when it was full of Humber Pigs ahead of an NI deployment.
That's it alright - it's 36 Sqn vehicle park you could see:Well, the field's gone, according to Google Maps. That would have been it on the right where the garages are. The truck park is just beyond.
I suppose it was 40 years ago...

Sadly, no.That's right - did you ever go to the Alte Munze?
I think we managed an NI tour every 18 months or so and the NI Trg Fleet were a common sight on the roads of sunny Bielers!
