In the early light of morning, a fast-moving BUF Reconnaissance Troop speeds along the A438 Tewkesbury - Ledbury road, heading westward towards the Herefordshire border and one of its most important County towns.
Storm Leader Reckless, commander of the BUF Recce Troop, "takes point" on the A438 |
"Steady, chaps!" About to cross the county line, the Storm Leader brings the Recce Group to a halt. Herefordshire is well known as one of the most dangerous places in all of England. |
Engines idling, the barrels of the Storm Leader's modern armoured cars traverse the countryside in unison. The crews' pre-departure briefing had been ominous in the extreme... |
Is this an unsupported reconnaissance mission? Or the armoured spearhead of a more substantial force?
Only time will tell.....
Notes: Scout Car and Armoured Cars by Dinky. Storm Leader Reckless from Empress. His driver (mostly obscured) from Reiver. Flag from Solway. "Recce Group Black & White Flashes" very old GW Space Marine(?) transfers. BUF Pennons printed paper.
