re unit in pic

[JR]

It's 45 Commando,spent enough time with them to know the unit vehicle tac sign.Aye jr

[Doc]

Glad the old sweat has backed me up, would have been a tad embarrassing if it turned out to be the Pay Corps or something.

So 9 is 45, 20 is logs, 16 is 59, anymore for anymore

45 9
log regt 20
59 16
40?
42 8
HQ&Squigs?
539?
29?


Davo ask the MTO if he has a list, dont do it infront of the lads mind, you will get talked about

[davo141]

ill pop in if i can spare five minutes when we get back to work ill pop in, get a copy for my wall i think for quite reading!

ill pop down to 59's vehicle park when we get back and have a butchers.

look at the RAF regt trying to jump in on the gucci wimik pictures again

[Doc]

Farking crabs!

Not a perimeter fence or china tea service with doillies in sight ffs!

No worries Davo, I'm sure 59 is 16 (or 24 whatever they are calling themselves these days.)

When I was their Doc and returned to Log Regt, they had remoulded my lid to the Andy Cap style, when I walked into med Sqn lines my new SSM (tony Boyle) went a tad red when he saw me, odd lid, para smock down to my knees, hair long with huge sidies and a pair of ksbs with hose tops............still we got on once mountain biking cropped up

[stever]

getting old now couldnt remember the tac signs on landies we used to use on field sqn;s

[JR]

Just for all the disbelievers 42 Commando vehicle tac sign

Now guess 40 Commando.Aye jr

[Doc]

4?

[stever]

nice one whats the "8" then is that a troop number
what a bizarre thread this is getting lol

[Doc]

Stever

Each commando unit has a tac number on vehicles and they dont relate as such to the unit number ie 42 Commando is designated 8.

Fark knows why or how, but each unit has its own tac number unrelated to its named number.

I dont know the history of the system so would be chuffed if someone could answer and explain.

Doc

[stever]

sorry m8 im really confused now
its an age thing lol

[London Boy]

getting old now couldnt remember the tac signs on landies we used to use on field sqn;s

ditto on both points, age and memory of tac signs.

[London Boy]

Quite an interesting blog, slagging off Westminster, and with some pictures of RAF Regt vehicles in sandy places, but not a tac sign in sight:
