Still a work in progress (and growing...)

Some changes you might want to consider:
Illustration 6 says that it is a photo taken in February. There are evergreen trees in the background full of very green leaves.
Same with Illustration 14 - as Britain didn't enter the war in Germany until December but the vegetation suggests it is not winter.Comment

Looking good so far.
Minor point...whilst one Regiment of the Household Cavalry was tasked with a Recce role, I believe the other was deployed to the BAOR as a Type 43 MBT Regiment (they swapped roles periodically).
IIRC the Regiment in the Recce role was tasked as follows:
One CVR(T) Squadron to the 5th Airborne Brigade
One CVR(T) Squadron to the 3rd Marine Brigade
One CVR(W) Squadron remained in the UK with a home defence role (can't confirm this but speculation is they would have formed part of a Special Duties Force to protect Her Maj and other members of the Government / Royal Family if the brown stuff hit the fan).
One Squadron to the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (together with a Squadron from the MBT Regiment, hence the reason the MBT Regiment was a Type 43 - it was a Squadron short).
Cheers
(BTW pretty sure the Gurkhas also have (or at least had) a pipe band!

Latest version
Here is the latest (greatly expanded version) - once I get feedback, I will incorporate changes, add vehicle stats and then format as UK Vehicle Guide Vol1 - MBTs.
Before I get asked plan (so far) is
Vol2 - Other armoured vehicles
Vol3 - Softskins
this will take some time...
As ever feedback and/or nitpicks are welcome.Comment
