Army vehicle disposal

And so it begins...
The great confusion as (even a couple of years down the track) many units will still be operating the same vehicles driven by a lot of civvies :(

That looks to me light the Delta Dogs (DCoy51FNQR) heading out on patrol!
Note;
Hession skirts attached to the brush/ bull bars (rolled up and held in place by occys/ rubbers cut from tubes)
ROPS visible behind driver confirm ID as an RFSV
Looks like SRV-style cam pole/ junk holders attached to the tub abover the rear wheels.
Hmmm. Odd though, No spares on the ROPS wheel brackets (inside) :confused:
The plate looks mil, Sure it was WA reg? looks like it could be 51-6..
If it wasn't in service, then they are sadder than me, even :D

Cheers, BDave.

Possibly. Do serving vehicles have registration labels?

I see your point, looks Army to me too, but would not have thought an Army dude would wave at a White Defender towing a Caravan , will see if there is a clearer frame on the dashcam to post.

also when it drove past the Tyres sounded louder than the truck, almost like bar treads :confused:

Mick, I was looking closely at that as well. Incongruous. Blknight might be able to ID if it is a mil sticker of some sort. It seems the wrong dimensions to me. If not Mil, then Parks access type sticker or something (but the Army doesn't need those).

Bushie, When I was in the drivers seat, I did plenty of waving!
Remember, RFSVs are driven by locals in Cams:D search 'RFSU' for explanation.

Cheers, BDave

Don't the RFSVs have Hi-Milers?
Could explain the noise :p
Definitely looks like WA plates to my eyes, but I could be wrong :)

cant get a better pic, but here is the clip (2.4mb) you can hear the tyres when it leaves view (and I had my window closed)

No they don't have rego stickers.

Bet $50 it's a 'restricted use' sticker! It may say something like 'restricted to 80km/h' due to either old tyres or noise.

it would have been pushing 110 I think.

Ooooh yeh, That Hi-Miler hum :D
s'funny when people compare a Fender to a Disco and refer to noise.
I've done too many kays than I care to recall sans roof/ windscreen a tuning out the hi-miler vibe. just a little bit de-sensitised ;)
BDave.

The yellow sticker us the newer restricted use sticker.
