On the last Saturday in October 1959 on a rain swept airstrip in Germany the new 3rd Royal Tank Regiment was born. The 3rd & the 6th RTR were amalgamated at Sennelager when some 50 British Army Tanks manoeuvred through the mist in one of the most impressive ceremonies ever. Rehearsals for this parade took place both in Germany and Libya. The two pictures below supplied by Barry Cheswick show rehearsals taking place in Libya.

I certainly remember the mass reverse we attempted before the drive past.It kept the REME busy repairing front and rear wings on most of the tanks!!.
