Ex Iron Storm Otterburn
The NVAA deployed to Otterburn to visit 101 Regiment on Exercise Iron Storm.
The Regiment's two strike Batteries (203 & 205) equipped with MLRS, and the STA Batteries (204 & 269) with thier target acquisition equipment were on exercise Iron Storm in support of the 3rd UK Divisions Artillery Group.
3rd UK Division
On arrival the Commanding Officer welcomed the Old and Bold, before handing over to the Adjutant for the obligatory health and safety briefing. The NVAA were eloquently informed to be careful as "Otterburn had undulating ground” - a fact many Gunners over the years may have noticed!
The Surveillance and Target Acquisition equipment includes radars and sound ranging equipment able to track and locate anything from heavy artillery to mortars. The STA Batteries support 5th Regiment Royal Artillery on operations
Redesdale Arms Left 3 O clock
Retiring to the First and Last (Redesdale Arms, Northumberland) time to reflect that it was “never like that in my day”.
