John H Posted Tuesday at 07:56 PM I am sorry to have to ask this, however I am unable to find anything related to an accident that occurred during the 1983 competition. I was part of a US Army helicopter aircrew then and was on about 75 yards away from an accident that involved a German Leopard tank and a British jeep type 4-wheeled vehicle. I provided first aid to the single surviving occupant until emergency crews arrived only moments later, the two other occupants I am sorry to say were killed instantly. Can anybody please provide me with any status on the one surviving occupant or if he survived and any news articles or formal documents that might memorialize this tragic event? Thank you.

Ssnake Posted Wednesday at 06:03 AM Nothing wrong with such a question here, but... Have you tried posting that question on TankNet? Much better chances of a positive reply there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisWerb Posted 22 hours ago A great place to ask would be the British Army Rumour Service - https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/forums/ You could mention that the British unit involved was C Squadron, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Good luck with this! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
