    They weren't too bad on Barrels TBH. And we had PLENTY of 'Em' spare to be utilised!

    Yes Pete, very Happy Days indeed! Nothing like riding in the Turret across the barren plains of BATUS training area in Canadaicon. Hundered & hundereds of miles of Fu......Errrr. Nothing at all! Firing Truckloads of out of date ammo. To use it up 'for training purposes only'!......Never in my life had I seen laxness on the issue of ammo, you could ask for & get. Just about anything you wanted! I used to Command a ferret Scout Car with rotating turret with a .30" Browning MG in it. Simply 'spraying' anything & everywhere you wanted! Unbelieveable Fun! LOL The hardest thing, was trying to find something to actually shoot at. As the area was a Barren Desert! The odd Cent Tank Hulk here & there. 'Bunkers' constructed from empty steel ammo boxes, wired together in a square. Riddled like cullenders! Firing Carl Gustav Anti-Tank Guns with SO MANY training Rounds. You fell off the firing Point, 'Punch Drunk' with the backblast vacuum's. Yep, Happy Days indeed!
