This brought back some memories - the Bovington Mk IX, in, according to the caption, 1981. I'm grateful to this gent for publishing the pictures. https://www.flickr.com/photos/richard64pics/8063585757 There's also the Female Mk IV, with a glimpse of Mk VIII in the background, and the Mk V in that ghastly 1970s camo scheme.
I saw these on display outdoors long before 1981 - must have been late 1960s. I'm surprised they weren't moved indoors sooner - does anyone know when they were brought under cover?
I took some photos with my Box Brownie (see below), and actually had a couple printed in Airfix Magazine letters. The photos are long gone, I'm afraid, so it's nice to see these.
