Thanks for this blast from the past. I was there in 1984 as my final posting. 12 Armd Wksp REME. Can't really say I enjoyed it, everything before that was LAD's which were a bit more interesting.
This brought a tear to my eyes, I was there in 1969, then back again in 1971 with the Tank Regiment. I loved the place, first time i have seen it since. what a crying shame, Thank you for the video FEAR NAUGHT
Great video, thank you. I remember this fondly, my friend and I arrived Christmas 1977 and stayed for 18 months. My friend's sister was married to a sergeant in the Skins. We lived in Belm, Heideweg was the street. Ended up working in Karman, great times.
I went to visit my brother for 2 weeks and ended up staying 18 months! Worked in the naafi bar at one point in mercer barracks, and did child minding for a couples 2 daughters too, it was the best time of my life! Would love to revisit that time and place again and see some of the old faces
I am amazed that this much of the old camp is still standing. I was there with the A&SH in 1977-1979. All of the buildings adjacent to Am Limberg have gone, Mercer Bks Guardroom, etc. At least my old married quarter is still standing in Belm. Good days!
I stayed with my uncle n aunt there for a few months in 96 my uncle was in the signals or summing... But we had a flat only took me 2 mins to get to the base... It was class a had football goals with nets free pool free snooker and there shop was super cheap was it called the naffi or summing. Anyway best summer of ma life Germany was class
Spent 4 yrs of my life in Mercer Bks (early 80s) absolutely loved it great times. A number of my old colleagues made it their home.
