I always remember in BAOR, mid sixties, that the Petrol Jerry Cans were labelled as 'MT 80.' I suppose the 80 meant Octane rating 80.

What was the Octane rating of the petrol which preceded the 80? The reason I ask is because what ever it was, it burn't engine valves out and caused lots of unecessary work!]]> General Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:25:36 GMT http://bfg-locations.editboard.com/general-f148/octane-rating-t681.htm#4824 http://bfg-locations.editboard.com/general-f148/octane-rating-t681.htm http://bfg-locations.editboard.com/trying-to-find-f7/looking-for-info-on-walter-morgan-butler-rees-t680.htm penmorfa Looking for info on walter morgan butler rees who died at the BMH Hamburg in 1950 approximately.

The first time we went on the range with the SA80 it didn't instill any confidence at all, it was in a word, garbage. That was the Mk 1 however and I'm told they have improved considerably since then. I never did understand why we didn't convert from SLR to M16! I never used an M16 myself but everyone I've spoken to who has used one has nothing but praise for the weapon.

Birdwood Barracks was opened in 1952 and its first occupants were HQ 6 Armoured Division who used the top half of the camp and 6 Armoured Division Signals Regt of which I was a member, occupied the lower half. Previously units of 6 Armoured Div Signals were temporarily stationed in Wentworth Barracks, Herford, the home of 11 Armd Division.
