The speed and spacing of the vehicles, would be maintained at all times due to the convoy orders given to the crews prior to leaving the barracks in Darwin.

Daza,
They must be planing a coup I think, we had to fly in south of Charters Towers today cause they were running around the back of Brownsville in those annoying little buzz boxes called FA18's.

Have a good one

From an impeccable source. The Bushmaster had a major redesign before release because a South African bloke came over here and put his skills in explosives to good use and blew the bottom out of the first design.

They did a major redesign and the current one is, as we all know, one of the best units of it's type around.

That be about right, our Artillery convoys had designated speed limit 80kph, spaced 200 mtrs

On the windscreens was a little white box about 1 inch square, by getting the vehicle in front to fill the square up, showed you were exactly 200 mtrs behind.

Too much vehicle out of square, too close, back off

Too little of vehicle, too far behind, keep up.

It was funny to watch civvies trying to overtake not knowing that there was another and another and another

In order,

Rover, Rover 6WD International, Rover Rover, 200 mtrs, Rover Rover 6WD Inter, Rover Rover and so on for 6 Internationals towing 105mm Howitzers, followed up by RAEME with their 6WD mobile workshop,Semi-trailer Recovery vehicle, and lastly 2 more Rovers with top-mounted machine guns

A bristling mobile Artillery Regt.
