Former soldiers fighting to keep unique collection of Cold War vehicles together

A group of former members of the Royal Signals have spoken to Forces News about their efforts to keep together one of the world's most unique collections of Cold War-era vehicles.
The Ramsdell Collection shines a light on a little-known part of British Military history - preserving and telling the story of command and control on the battlefield during the 1980s and 90s.
As well as maintaining the vehicles, the team of volunteers display the collection across the country.

Preservation of these vehicles is not just about the mechanical lump of moving bits....it preserves the story of the people that crewed them.

100!%! AGREE! and "AMEN!" but "I still Love" BOTH! Machine and Crew. RIP Greatest! and Your's! and those at home who kept all of US, Free and Peaceful, for so long.

I’m a retired Canadian military veteran 1967-96. x2 Infantry reserve Regiments & x1 regular Armoured Regiment. In my Armoured days I trained on Centurions & Ferrets & the Canadian Lynx. Nice to see this UK collection being kept in good order. Best wishes in getting the charitable status.

We need more of this.
Beyond the collection these guys are talking and sharing knowledge.
This is what helps Mental health.

Excellent point.

Good luck guys - A worthy cause!

[@kevinpeters6688]

Really good collection. why have these guys not got a UA-cam page, that is a good way to gain some earnings.

We focus on the pointy end of the spear but not what supports and sustains the front. Everyone who works to achieve victory or maintain peace is part of the picture and their story is valuable.

No sympathy guys. If you’re preserving antique vehicles in 2024, you’re out of touch with 21st century realities.
