My sister and her house mate needs a Pig to keep their drive cleared as it is next to a Tesco Express and morons park across it.

The trailer like thingies you show are BAR mine layers and were towed behind an Engineer FV432. As the vehicle towed the layer along, it ploughed a trench into which fell pre fused Bar mines the were first put onto the conveyor belt from within the vehicle. The layer then covered the trench in again.

It was a quick and quite accurate way of laying a minefield though probably strenuous for the men who had to quickly fuse mines.

Hey Martin - have another look at the 3rd from last photo - the key is on the passenger seat if you fancy taking the Jag for a test drive. {-) {-) :-)

 {-) {-) yea, my one and only driving offence (speeding) was in the East Anglia area - must admit they are hot on motoring offences around that locale - at least they were when I got caught. That was way back in 1990 - been a good boy ever since. ok2 :police:
