The value quoted at the time was five millions worth, and it would have been '86.
I have a photo somewhere of a (formally serviceable) 105mm parked partially sub-terrainian in the Otterburn peat by the same OCF. IIRC, crewman was Taff B.
One exercise in Germany and an army tool box fell from a net and went through the windscreen of a car on the autobahn. Not pretty but thankfully no personnel damage beyond shock to the female driver. Crewman was TT.
Worst ever USL for me was an empty skip on a long strop, given dispensation by JATE to fly it. 40kts max and believe me, that was too fast. Scheduled to truck it fm V813 to BBK and had enough of it by Armagh so parked it overnight and continued the journey the followiing day!
