This is an excellent thread. Some of those modern vehicles need to be labeled though so I know what I'm, looking at. Once again, Bruce's pic did not show up. Edited and hopefully I have given the correct info,all pics taken in about 82/83 on a live firing exercise apart from the FIBUA 432 which was in Montgomery Barracks Berlin
Excellent! That does help tremendously. Thanks for that Jed!

I'm interested to know what chassis that dozer was added to. The Ferret looks great! I'd love having on of those in my collection. Is that an Ariete tank on that transporter? The turret kinda looks like one on an Ariete.

Duke I couldn't find out what the chassis is but this is the vehicle, it has or is being replaced by the Terrier.Description56 km/h 8 knots The FV180 Combat Engineer Tractor or C.E.T. is an amphibious specialist armoured vehicle of the British Army and has been in general service since 1976. Wikipedia
Engine: Rolls-Royce C6TFR; 320 hp (240 kW)
Armour: Honeycombed twin skin aluminium alloy
Power/weight: 19 hp/tonne
Speed: 56 km/h (35 mph) (road); 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) (water)
In service: British Army, Indian Army, Singapore Army
The tank on the transporter is the Challenger,looking at the paint job it looks like one that is used regularly for different exercises or on its return from Afghanistan it wasn't repainted properly,hence the sand scheme showing
