Subject: BOAR wall map up for grabs 28/5/2019, 13:35
I have a laminated map of a good part of BAOR. I imagine it was put together for an Ops Room, possibly for Ex Crusader (the OS maps 1:50,000 appear to be 1977 and Crusader was '79).
It covers from Minden (top left) to Hannover and from Paderborn (bottom left) to Usler then a missing map in the corner, but we didn't go there then did we? It measures (approx.) 1800mm x 1900mm.
Does anyone want it? All I want for it is the postage - whatever that might be (quite heavy), or you can collect it if you live nearby (Melksham, Wilts).

Hello, If no one has taken this map and you still have it, I'd like it please. Could you let me know how the postage is likely to be and I will send you the money.
Thank you Jon

Yes, Jon, I've still got it. I had someone who was interested and we were talking about delivery when I next went 'oop north', but with various lock downs I haven't been anywhere, but nor has he contacted me again. I did send a PM. No answer. Can't recall who it was, right now. However, what I suggest is that we leave it for a few weeks and if he is still around and still interested I hope he will contact, (he must have first refusal in fairness) but if not I'll return here and 're-advertise' or send you a PM - so keep your eyes open and subscribe to the site so you get the feeds.

And with that post I suddenly got promoted from Cpl to Sgt, but went from REME to RA! Whats going on? I come from Woolwich. There is no chance I would join the Gunners.

So a Gun Bunny in the Northumbrian Division - a hard act to follow, even for a well travelled ex-REME-apprentice

Thanks for your reply. I quite understand about giving the initial enquirer first refusal etc. I'll keep an eye on the forums and watch for your reply here.
Many thanks Jon PS congrats on your promotion
