I must tell you my T80 story from 1986 near Magdeburg. But just not yet.

Irony tsunami...Creepy? Drunk? That's all you've got left? Just dull insults.
Never worked in a dump Poindexter, missile site aye, gun bay aye, role bay aye, AGSE aye, lots of Sqn work but never a dump. Away back and reread your "Insults for Dummies - extra Double Verbose Edition"You've run out of tactics. Shame. You really were a natural with maintaining the concrete bombs, weren't you.
Had enough to sleep then?Time to leave you to fester.
Night.
Which T-80?
@Krautman does have a point.Just the one.

An early 80s Pentagon Comic Book, aka Langley Fact Book, had a drawing of the so-called T-80, which bore no resemblance to the T-80 pic you folks produced, which more closely resembled an upgraded T-64/T-72 upgraded hybrid: see IDR 12/81 for the Soviet tank evolution diagram.

I think you are referring there to the Comics Book description, aren’t you?With a gas turbine engine and a wire-guided AT missile fired down the main armament?
Not forgetting. He worked with an old mate of mine.But you are forgetting BL was a Brick Smith......

At the same time, the M1’s Avco gas-turbine was coming in for severe stick.
My own, published, assessment was get it out of the hands of the testers and into field use and then let’s see. (That’s not a dig, by the way, it’s what I wrote in my IDR 12/81 Autocar-type hands-on assessment of the M1: subsequently quoted in the NYT!
Interesting. So Langley hadn’t got it that far wrong several years before.I'm referring to the one I got inside. It was dark, after 1am, so I don't know which version it was.

Kindly wash your mouth out. My B-i-L was a Sapper!Would he be a Sapper?

No. We were on the same Tp Ldr’s course. Scots DG. Currently in Berlin.
I could be mistaken, maybe you just knew of him, not worked with.
An excellent bloke.Dunks was my neighbour. We are still in touch.

I’ve met him only a few times since Bovvy & Lulworth - force of circumstance - but he’s one of those who, if we met up tomorrow, it would be as if the intervening years hadn’t happened.
But surely then, you must wake up in the middle of the night, trembling with fear, expecting that tapping noise is the first wave of EU stormtroopers arriving to execute you? If only you had voted remain!It doesn’t worry me either - we’re no longer part of the EU.
However, it’s always useful to know the intellectual pressures that caused a bunch of people to come together and form a political movement. It forms an emotional core that drives the organisation on.
Personally, as a catholic, I suspect the intellectual roots of the EU lies in the catholic church’s [historical] desire to recreate the Western Roman Empire.
A powerful and self-serving senator class with a God-given right to grow rich off the backs of the plebs...
And that happens to work both ways. Although losing trade to 19 countries is only part of the problem... 27 countries are involved. You must be hoping for a deal from Alice in wonderland, which will still be bad btw.You do realise, don't you, that the UK leaving equals 19 other states in the EU payments??
No, I don't think you do because you're an idiot.
