- Here's some footage of my CrARRV commanders course completed at SEME Bordon.
The music used is 'Watch out' performed by Alex Gaudino ft Shena - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I spent about a year in that place. the corner bay was home to a Conqueror ARV when I was there in 83-84.
Absolutely filthy beast! I bet down the duel carriageway that sounded absolutely mega!
Great video. Many thanks. It is great to see how the course developed. I was ASM REME Special Trials Group when we wrote and ran the first 2 courses, one in Al Jubayl (start of Op Granby) then the second at Bordon. Fantastic vehicle (particularly for those who had struggled for many years with Chieftain and Cent ARVs).
They are the ultimate badass vehicle. Had them alongside me in Gulf War 1 when i was driving warrior.
just found out I have two of the original gulf war 1 crarrvs at my unit :)
@@AJoeA Nice .... i remember walking past them in the Saudi Docks. REME lads casually leaning against them having a chat. I just thought, "Now that's cool"... Having said that the Warrior was an absolute animal... The one problem with leaving the forces is there is no job like driving a Warrior around Saudi Arabia ! And that was my first job aged 18. Never quite get over it.
As a TA Reccy Mech we only did Foden and the Old Scammel Crusaders and trailers. But we did get familiarisation training on these In Germany. Great fun. I did my B1 at Bordon and 2 years later was back there instructing on TA B2 courses. Just a two week camp there but really enjoyed being at SEME. Quite a few TA Reccy Mechs did crew CrAARV on Operations though.
Damn but toys making big noise ! Love me some tanks bro! Great stuff!
Looks like Bordon and my old stomping ground for a REME reccy mech
Great to see the beast again. How the hell is Vinnie doing? Can't remember the last time I saw or spoke to him.
Remember seeing it wen doing a course at bordon
I don’t think I’m your prime audience for this kind of video. But I did like the music
Brill 👍lets hope those prats in government keep them rolling and with relavent equipment updates 👍🙏😁
In Canada people confuse the horse cap badge with the RCMP one. It’s amusing sometimes.
Well in 2008 in Afghanistan the Americans thought we was special forces due to the horse and lightning bolt 👀🤣
Don't think you'll see any dafties "Brake-check" these bad boys....
'A' Vehs Training Wing or A sheds as those who where there will know. SEME Bordom
Please, can we use footage from your CZcams channel for our videos about military cars, trucks a other machines? We tag your channel as a source ,... thank you. :)
Sure, as said make a mention about my channel in the remarks and also put a mention in your video at the end thanking the other channels you used footage from :)
Got a copy without the music?
Vehicle - Great. Video - would be better without the song. LET'S HERE THE ENGINE.
Look on my other videos my friend as I have also uploaded this video without the music for enthusiasts such as yourself 🙂
Will these remain in service with c3 or a new version on the drawing board.
Although being commissioned into service back in the 80s alongside challenger the CRAAV fleet will continue to serve the British army supporting the 148 strong CR3 fleet and as a result will receive the HAAIP upgrades as will CR3.
Going to do downhill tow in longmoor?
last time I did that was over 14 years ago so no footage unfortunately. now I believe the crarrv courses are run in Bovington and seems I'm fully qualled up there's not much chance of me going back there...
Got any footage of an engine change.... that is if your allowed to. i know how some militaries can be
I'll see what I can do with that one, the amount of pack (engine) changes I've done the last couple of years is absurd. just never thought anyone was interested in them lol. it may take a while as I'm currently deployed.
@@AJoeA well if we can do it quicker and cheaper you best bet, that the MOD is interested (if i get the placement that is)
Here's a video of most of a CR1 pack lift which is more or less the same - czcams.com/video/GJw3oTOFZlg/video.html

Why the need for escort ???
Its all to do with the width of the vehicle. Because on a normal road the tracks are over the centre white line we legally require a MOD police escort.
My thoughts... GTFO the road civvy...lol
Đi kéo lầy thì không còn gì để nói
Very interesting film, well made, shame about the music! Perhaps next time a commentary will be more useful
Spoilt by that horrid "music" ....lets just hear the sound of the vehicle...thats the real music on thi video clip !!!
I've done a separate video without the music as well just for you petrol heads 😉
@@AJoeA So where is the link to the no music Version of which you speak ...??
@@atttim41 look at my content list and it'll be a few videos above this one 🙂
So whats the Title of this non music clip ??
I have found some vids so what is the Title so i know which one?.
Crarrv commanders course - seme bordon - no music
Talk about pollution
You think the pollution is bad, you should see the fuel bill ;)
No worries, 'cos it's all for a good cause!
Somewhat more difficult to restore and maintain than a Scammell Pioneer. How many WW2 armoured recovery vehicles are seen at shows?. Let alone the Centurion type that was happily sold off for less than dead weight scrap price as too expensive to cut up. A lovely toy as long as the tax payer pays the bill. Sadly, I see very little future for these sophisticated toys in preservation outside the Tank Museum as a soon to be static exhibit.
Music is bad. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Please watch my 'no music' video as it may be more your style :) czcams.com/video/J2UPkfdqB7o/video.html
@@AJoeA 👍👍♥️♥️
