I was there 88. Cleaning stuff all the time, busy doing nothing, I did love the cake wagon at 11am though, good times indeed

[@jameslynch7826]

They shunted us around a lot back in the day.
I remember my first time loading onto the transporter and also the German trains with the loadmaster with his micrometer. And chocks and chains!!!!

[@FFSgetRidofLabourScumbags]

I was thinking of transferring from 23 Pioneers to 16 Tank Transporters in 1997, spent 4 months with them in Bulford. Good lads however afterwards I changed my mind due to promotion prospects, in 2002 transferred to the Supply Controllers instead.

[@richarddean4716]

God, this brings back memories, I was there from 84 till 87, I can still remeber loads of these guys.

[@mickm234]

Lightweight Trousers and Jersey heavy wool. Days long gone. 1987, the last easy days in BAOR...

[@macdale4741]

All british lorry’s, wonderful to see built to last

[@boblovell5789]

The guy checking the Landrover was obviously working for the camera. Seemed to miss the important part. The P.O.L.!! Happy days.

[@rikspring]

nice to see. looks a lot like my time as a conscript soldier (Dutch army) in Germany (1980) I saw many similarities with my activities as a soldier😏

[@robh4671]

This took me back and reminded me why In 1969 I couldn’t handle being in the army, living 24./7 with no privacy, no peace, and you always get a thug and a bully amongst them, absolutely the most soul destroying time of my life.

[@johncon46]

Brilliant brings back all the memoirs of my time in BAOR

[@terrystephens8603]

I bet the local economy would love the army back there now.

[@karlrobinson1227]

Ah good old Fally, can remember as a kid going to playschool on the other side of the pad with all the Antars parked up and the pigs under the playschool lol , also falling in the duck pond next to the cookhouse, was the antar bar under the cook house ?

[@ianbiddle7414]

This was about 2 years before I got there. I recognise a lot of the faces and locations. pity I cant put a lot of names to them.

[@jameslynch7826]

Anders Parade?
I wonder if that’s a tribute to the Polish General Anders from WW2 and the Free Army and the subsequent Mojos who also did a lot Antar work?

[@nicklasbailey]
