OK Troops,

Today I saw the following on the A12 heading towards London;

1 Sliver (Bright) LWB, Think I caught a red sticker. may have got a wave, but *ahem* I was clearing the exhaust out......... :oops: (Junction 15 A12)

Then 12 Army G's, two G Medical Ambulances, Three large UniMogs?? and two BIG transports, all with G's on them. I was in Traffic - heading East and got a flash and a wave from a few of them! Really made my day 8) :lol:

There are a few Gs floating around in the British army - Tony Blair's aside which is actually the FOs.

But Spider they are so few and far between that we need more details....

Sadly all leftys, yellow plates - Dutch or Belgan? (Mind you with the flooding would have thought they were needed back home??). Looking through the internet the camo was German Style, but all the Reg's were Yellow leading me to thinl Dutch/Belgian or Danish?

Over to MAxwell or Mortinson, bet they can give the correct answer in about 5 Seconds! :lol:

By the time I realsied I could use my Phone camera, they were gone - D'Oh! :oops: (Although I did think about nipping back and taking some - the boss wanted me in for an 08:30 meeting). Maybe Next Time.

Ya I would concur. They seem to be everywhere. Saw dozens upon dozens of Dutch Gs in Germany.

Do they take them on their holidays :?:
Seeing as in our limited experiences the Dutch seem to be even more determined holiday makers than the Germans.

Re: What do you call this......?

There is a Dutch army exercise taking place on Salisbury Plain. Loads of G's in various guises trundling about the area. I saw a whole convoy of them coming down the M3/A303 on Monday 19th. They're still out on the Plain somewhere right now; you can all go orgasmic at the mere thought of it! :roll:
