1000 Gal bowser parked in Williamson site next to Air movements  notice the red scales in background used for weight watches clubs when WRAF air hostess off  VC10 where transiting in/out of APC.

Battys Bus Service.

Anyone who had reason to go to Belize had the Blackpool equivalent of the death ride from APC to Belize City. Seen here parked at the faithful swingbridge in central Belize on a Sunday evening. This service was used regularly on a evening to go to Belize City after the NAAFI bar had closed. The location we all headed for the was a bar called the 102 which of course was the local brothel as the beer was chilled better there!!!! However we did have to go to the POOP Deck First to watch the odd shooting between rival black groups. Sat nights will never be the same.

Building 138 Belize MT CONTROL on right is a RAFP landrover and behind that the park for the odd duty fire crew.

The great thing about the location of this office is that you could sit in the office in the morning with the door open and watch the pongos parade past when they did morning parades something we  only ever did once in our careers and that was at St Athan on basic driving course.

Crash Amb.

The best thing you could drive in Belize, as when you had been down town you could sleep on the way back. I remember one MT outing with Sgt Tug Wilson as the SNCO I/C MT and he made Steve Patterson take the crash amb to JB Bar why the Crash Amb, Well anyone that has been to JB  bar all knows that you do feel a bit sleepy after a 4 hour session and the journey home was one of sheer bliss ZZZZZZZ

Bedford MK Hiab

Deep in jungle after a puma went down with engine problem so muggings here had to take an engine and  escort some poor squaddie armed with a SLR in to the jungle to located the downed chopper. We found it after 8 Hours and the ground crew flew in, fixed the chopper, and flew out leaving us to drive back the next day after an engine swop. I went back to this location a month later and the bridge was totally washed away.

Tanker Pool Belize 1985/86 Phil Taylor can been seen on his Knees to the Left of the 1000 gal refueller, we went out as a PMC decision. No tanker pool was established in the GEF compound so they sent Myself and Phil brown who was a Cpl at the time to set up and bring into line the Tankerpool. RAF Regiment did the 1000 Gal task up to that Period with APC MTD,s doing the Harrier refuelling on the 3000 gallon, however it came out that the SAC's being posted out were not all Q-MTD- Tanker qualified, some unforeseen mistake by trade desk at Innsworth.

Fire Section Belize

Note a Unimog next to Tanker This was taken at a lunch time as we used whatever transport we could get our hands on to get back across from Williamson site to the Army Mess, Which did live up to it's reputation as being crap at the best of times. Also notice water on floor monsoon  weather  in Nov 1985
