I found another pic of the same event. Its not a warrior. The wheels looked wrong and that turret and gun..no. And its not as beefy as the warrior.

its not a M113 variant, and its not an FV432, the UK equivalent of the M113. The number of wheels is wrong.

So what is it :?:

The ten man ORP would be carried by all UK APCs, so if it is an APC type, its the ration that would be carried.

The FV432 has a small immersion heater on the inside of the back door to heat ration cans BTW. Quite neat.
Its got a non hydraulic double door design as exit. Bit like a large BMP doors.

No worries Nawt :)

Its got some interesting stuff in it, some better than others.
It shows the challenges of having to cook day after day with a 10 in 1 ORP quite well too.
Maybe you could try one that takes your eye :wink:

I was particularly struck by the Bundeswehr group ration thats been featured. I would prefer that frankly, just my taste.
So im wondering, are there any equivalent publications or links or link for other nations group rations?
