Been racking my brains trying to pin down the year for the Kirknewton use.
Must have been one of the trips there with my father so late 60s, possibly 1970. By 1976 it was all air portable landies and 1 tonner.
Could not be before 1967 as that was the year No.661 GS set up stall.
MT for the weekend was normally picked up at Turnhouse from the RAF section Sat morning along with the batteries for the caravan aldis. Returned to the pool on Sunday evening.
However the Army MT section for Ritchie Camp was based at Kirknewton. Popping over from the hangar to the section (where the new blister hangars are located) usually saw a loaner dug out from the back of the compound.
So possibly an Army one awaiting final disposal, loaned to GS for the day with plea to break it so it could finally be SOC from Ritchie Camp ledger.
The other possible was that the events occurred on the Summer Detachments at HMS Condor. Circa 68/69/70 and again borrowed m.t. from the RM at Arbroath.
Regards
Ross
