Mind you, VAHS no longer exists!!

There is a semi scale Hurricane mock up sitting up at VASS. It was vandlised by someone, but the frame is still in repairable condition when I last saw it 3 years ago. If it is still there and somebody wants to repair it... It would be nice to think its not going to end up in a skip.

It did once look like this..

Seeing I helped built it, I can find a good home for it and the camp in question even stocks the right coloured paint!!!

Would you mind having a look mate? Most of the fabric has removed so its just the frame. I'm sure MJ would see about getting it to a good home if it still exists.

Might be able to next week. But seeing as VAHS left that building last year and its had 2 custodians since I very much doubt it's there.

I'll ask the ex VAHS guys next week.

Just to clarify, the biggest bulk of kit includes lockers, chairs, desks, office furniture etc. Perhaps workbenches and racking?

There will be a smaller amount of more costly items (42" plasma anyone??!!).

But to reiterate, it must be for service use.

The list will become available soon on the Cottesmore Intranet under the Drawdown section.

Please inform us of when the list is available...

I saw the cockpit and frame of the semi scale up VASS last year, the lads had it out in the back garage. I'll make contact with a couple of the lads that were there last and find out what happened to it.

It is available now from the Cottesmore homepage under 'Drawdown Information' then 'Drawdown Surplus Assets'

Not that there's anything of much use on there at the moment.

Thanks, I didn't realise it was already up. I've been otherwise employed this week and haven't checked.

The list is a living document, it will change from one week to the next. I'd advise you keep checking it if you're after kit.

Don't forget, if you have any questions about what is or isn't on the list, you can always give Cottesmore Logs Sqn a call. Just bear in mind that they're busy.

Pass it around though, let other stations know about it.

Is there anyone on the goat who is a member of Rumration, Arrse etc? Could they post a thread there linking them to this one? The bigger the coverage the better.

The kit is already bought and paid for, it would be a shame to see it get disposed of.

grunts want to know if theres any Mess Cutlery :) Troughs and the like :) - can they access the station intranet from the army side?
Click to expand...

There might well be as the messes gradually draw down to one. Their best bet is to call OC CMT and proffer their interest.

I'm not sure if they can access the Cott intranet come to think of it. I can't think of a place where tri-service could all have access.

They just go to the cottesmore intranet page same as you would on raf intranet. www.cottesmore.r.mil.uk will work on all tri service computers.

Coming to think of it, my old blue three piece that was dumped in VASS (2001) has finally made it to the skip as well! Only taken ten years!
Barney was such a pikey!

All the audio visual kit eg projectors/classroom set ups are available for relocation as and when the closure plot is confirmed. So if you are at a unit that wants/needs some kit, speak to TDF at Cottesmore or better still email OC TDF with a wish list as I know they will be looking for homes for as much as they can get rather than send it for disposal.
