Default C15 Manure Spreader

Hi Bob:

I'm still here and frantically trying to put all the toys away before I get shipped out somewhere cold (Nova Scotia) or somewhere warm (Kenya)... I know which one I'm hoping for!

I believe I saw a listing (our expert friend, Mr Hayward, may need to step in here) for a production run of C15A Manure Spreaders. They were to be issued to the public affairs chaps with a few held on standby in case any politicians dropped in on the troops to see what a sucking chest wound looked like!

Alex Blair can probably help us out with the manual for the C15 BS as I'll call it from now on... he's well known for his lack of political correctness and his ability to spin his own tales once in a while! (Alex, forgive me, I couldn't resist!)

Of course after I've been known to ride around the Mess on a C15 BS myself and I know that RHC has his 404's (Canadian Military Driver's Permit; for our foreign and civilian friends) for the C15 BS as well as the C60 BS!

For heavy duty BS there was the C15TA BS which provided some shell splinter protection but none from sheep inserted land mines!

Anyway, I could beat this topic to death :dh: but Miss Yappee might lock onto a new target with her laser controlled, radar directed, fully automatic frying pan so I'll leave off!

Remember... Its a HOBBY and its supposed to be FUN! (He says after an exhausting four days at the Ottawa International Airshow!)

Mike

P.S. Any of you guys have any idea what a 155 howitzer sounds like the morning after drinking two kegs of beer?!
