Classic post WWII military greetings card featuring an RAF Regiment Scorpion Tank and a BAe Harrier GR.3.
Originally entering service with the British Army in 1973, the Scorpion and Spartan Armoured Personnel Carriers would become the preferred vehicles of the RAF Regiment from 1981, when over 180 Scorpions were put into service. The vehicles were used for airfield defence and one is seen here on exercise in Germany in their intended role. The Harrier needs little introduction with the GR.3 version being a stalwart of RAF Germany with 3 and 4 Squadrons operating the variant from 1977 to 1989.
