In the video above is the tracked version of the Rapier Missile System. My Regt 12 Regt RA used these post Falklands War. I was trained to detachment commander level, but never fired this kit in anger. I preferred this system apposed to the towed version simply because it was much faster to get in to action, warmer and it had a boiling vessel for hot brews.

I have loved the last couple of videos you have posted. The plane on the runway which just missed that guy was shocking and this tank looks like a really special piece of kit.
