Winter Of 79 / Anarchy In The UK 🇬🇧

[Capt Troy Tempest]

This is becoming a trip down memory lane. Forgotten coal truck deliveries and ours was dirty red too. Very nicely done by the way.

One very hot summer in Belfast, think it was year prisoners took over the roof. You would see armoured personal carriers with the rear door partly open to let ventilation inside. Must be against regulations.

Also the helicopters used to fly out in the direction of the radio mast on the hills over the city.

So love this thread. More please.

Really enjoy reading your recollections.

Loads more to come yet ! 👍

Very nice coal truck. My friend's dad had a Bedford TK in dark red that he used for coal deliveries (and other jobs) but his was a "Chinese Six" with 2 steering axles at the front.

Just finished these ‘Geordies’ from Empress .

The idea bring that they are ‘Known players’ so if recognised can be stopped and P Checked and perhaps given a ride in a Saracen?

If they get through to pre planned destination there they can pick up and use the weapon the second set of figures are armed with.  Something like that ??!!!

Copplestone has some armed chaps in hard hats and boiler suits  if you fancy some armed miners.

Does that mean this thread is now a 'sticky'? 

Nice work there. Looks like Ardal's mammy forgot to wash his balaclava and beret.

The first of a gaggle of Press and Media .

Not just table clutter as they’ll have an affect when they are spotted resulting in troops being a tad more cautious . .

A very nice piece of terrain, that. Love the cameraman.

Not just table clutter as they’ll have an affect when they are spotted resulting in troops being a tad more cautious . .

And that's actually a pretty cool mechanic! More cautious because they feel the eyes of the world on them? Or more careful because the reporters could be giving them away?

[HESH]

In my experience both apply . 👍
